I am a consultant at BAH with 2 years of experience, a Master's degree and a Secret Clearance. My Salary is less than 60k. Is that pitiful or is it just me?

Ver bad. Hired out of undergrad as Sr. Consultant making 75k in a "c" city. Made associate in 1.5 years with raise put me at 89k. No secret clearance.

You’re getting getting hosed man. My advice is the same as the other here: ask for a MSA. And if you don’t get it...start looking for a new gig. Life too short to deal with BAH bulls*^t

If you're not making at least $100k by 25 in any consulting field, you did something wrong.

I think that by 25 is kind of a strong statement. I’d say within 3 years of experience. And at least in my experience, the people that get 5% raises are doing things wrong. This might just be in my industry though.

What industry are you in? I have less than a year, no Masters, and making around 80. What industry are you in if I might ask?

Look around for Open Reqs. You should be able to find something within Booz, in another contract.

I started at 55k 7.5 years ago in a tier 3 city with a tier 3 bachelors degree.

What account/group OP? Where are you located?

Defense, Army Account, National Guard. in DC

i’m an SC with just bachelors at 80k sooo yea also secret clearance

What!? Leave.

Did you graduate undergrad and go right to masters?

What's your job family? I see you said defense account but what do you do. 62k is normal for undergrad out of school, probably not masters but if you're project coordinating then under 70k isn't crazy

Yeah... Strat comm is definitely gonna keep you on the low side of a pay band big time.

So now with a master's technically they can place you into a hiring labor cat, but your project would have to see if that's possible. Also you can contact HR for market salary research

You work wild consulting hours and make <60k? How did you stay that long?

Yes that sucks or you are terrible at your job. I just hired someone for $80K with no experience.

Should I be happy with just receiving my 3rd promotion in less than 2.5 years to Senior Consultant? Company growing fast, tenured employees getting burnt out/leaving and room opened up to move up quickly. Change in leadership recently as well. Was offered 17.5% increase and this is my first job out of school. I don’t want to grow too fast, but this seems too good to be true…

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

When calculating YOE, if you are working 2 jobs, can you double count those years? For reference, I’ve been an Army Reserves officer for the last 5 years since coming off active duty, and spend about 30-40 hours per month (outside of 2-4 week annual training) on that job. So it’s not like driving Uber, it’s a high stress/very involved job. Technically I have 7 years Active Army + 5 years D + 5 Years reserves if I count them. Don’t know if there’s any practical reason just curious peoples opinion
