Obviously this was said as a joke, but honestly it’s in the ballpark. It’s variable with firm performance much more than at junior levels, but $600k-700k is a decent baseline at Bain North America at least, which I assume translates to mckinsey. That then ramps rapidly so that you’re over a million in a couple of years.
After that there is really wide variation depending on what you produce. From a couple of million to many millions for more senior partners.
I understood that its between 550-700k (at least when my information was valid, i.e. 2018)
