Feel like it’s damn hard to find roles in strategy/business that pay 165/175 base for pre-manager consultants

Why not stay at your MBB firm and make even more?

Not sure. But makes you wonder how common is it to maintain that salary when you leave the firm.

What's your base rn?

It’s okay man, we all lie

Glad someone brought this up. Until you get to next level, you’re probably looking at similar total comp, and a base of 140-160 depending on location. The difference will be made up in equity or other incentives, especially if you’re working in tech. Hope this helps.

Think it’s pretty much expected you’ll get a comp increase in industry

You have to target tech/pharma/oil or teams led by ex-MBB who know how much you get paid.
