Offer from where? Whats your background? You need to provide some details for us to be able to comment. 10M people + geographical area and an industry wont get you more info than glassdoor estimations

What’s the question? Did you apply for a job with no expectation of salary? Whatever your salary expectation is just give it. What changed after the offer? If you didn’t plan that far ahead, then you really shouldn’t be in a VP role.

Try Glassdoor; you can search by company and position and city. Then, as others said, ask for the range you feel you deserve. If you are worried about asking for too much, ask for the money and restate how excited you are about the position.

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?
