How many years do you feel is good (but feasible) to double your total comp? Eg say you start at 150k post mba. How many years feels good to get to 300k? Then how many to 600k (Just example numbers).

Should double every 3 years post MBA

funny

This will be awesome 30 years post-MBA

I will probably never double my current total comp. So… forever.

Well you are at McK so I would say 3-4 years to go from 150 to 300 - 600 will likely require you to be a partner so again 4-5 years?

Outside of consulting i would assume much slower (on average)
