My first year as a director (last year) was my first year cracking 200k. I will this year as well.

Easy to make that in a tier 1 city. Secret is to make that in a tier 3 city, then you have a lot of disposable income and living in a mansion vs a shoebox apartment.

8.25% interest SC? Better refi. Paying off your loans is retirement savings. Both impact net worth the same. Also, make big chunks out of bonuses. You got this!

At this point, believe it’s just about everyone coming out of mba/PhD at well known firms

@op we’re talking management/ strategy consulting specifically given the bowl we are posting in. I graduated back in 2017 and recruited with these top firms. Yes, all just under 200k then, and they are only higher now

Was $300k 4 years post MBA. Exited to industry @>$500k.

48% of total comp is base, 24% cash bonus (at target 1x - could be 0-2x), 24% equity (half RSU at target 1x - could be 0-2x, half options), 5% retirement match.

~525 at target. Target/perf multiplier is tied to combos of rev/EBITDA/TSR/share price only. >700 at max perf multiple at grant/par value i.e. before adding associated stock appreciation.

It’s also much easier to hit when you live in the US, where wages are comparatively much higher. I was a manager at ACN in Europe making €67K, and jumped to $125K just by moving to the US. If you’re not an MBA or on the strategy side of the business, pretty much everybody who is a Director or above is clearing at least $200K.

BCG 2 disagree, but it certainly helps you earn more early career.

I’m in M3 in Tech Consulting and make over 200k. I was an experienced hire 7 years in industry plus 2 years at another consulting firm. I have a BA. my education started at a community college and finished at a 4 year school. I got lucky!
