Hi all - looking for stats and help on what a St Consultant level III gets paid here in London? (My understanding is that levels are indicative of the cost of living of your home office and thus a higher level guarantees a higher pay). With 80K I feel like I’m being severely low-balled. I’m transferring from a US office.

80k at senior consultant is very high?

like

Dm me? SC1

McK BA gets ~50k and McK Asc gets ~95k with only Bain and BCG really paying more. 80k is a lot higher than Big 4 - you’re not being lowballed!

like

No - McK goes BA -> SBA -> Associate -> Engagement Manager -> Associate Partner -> Partner

Associate is stereotypical MBA or experienced hire entry point. Therefore, it’s at least the same level, though potentially higher. Plus MBB generally pays more than other consultancies.

Also the phone gap between the uk and us exists for us too. My salary would double or triple if I go to the US. For context, the average uk graduate starting salary is £27k vs significantly higher in the US.

Loving how the author is leaving all of us here guessing what they meant :p

funny

Hahaha - it was a sunny day here. I had to step away from my phon. Sr/Senior consultant it is.

Can you tell us what st consultant level 3 means? 80k in London is typically mid level for a manager and lower end for an SM at big4

Thank you for providing that insight. I meant to say Senior Consultant. Level 3 is really just compensation level adjusted based on the home office

Sounds about right from what I’ve seen and heard. £80k in London is definitely a good salary depending on the lifestyle you live.

like

OP might be referring to FTI where it goes Consultant > Sr Consultant > Director

£80k is about right, and very good for London. Those with similar exp to you and not in MBB will be on £65k to £70k. Friend started on £36k as a grad at FTI.

The Way to a Higher Salary? Leave.

If I had stayed in the role I was in originally and grown with it, I’d be making maybe $120k, best case. I also wouldn’t have broken 6-figures in under 4 years by waiting.

The biggest lie that companies tell you is you can grow in a firm, both professionally and financially. The only ones that grow are already the people a) getting the promotions, or b) on the sales side.

If neither applies to you, the fastest way to achieve salary growth is to leave.

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was “90% positive.” Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so I’m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?
