I am hoping to crowdsource some salary data for sustainability consulting as I feel like there may be better paying opportunities out there. I'll start; I make $80k with a masters in engineering and 6 YOE. I am at a boutique firm in a second tier city.

I haven’t started yet, but signed to EY for 130k as a SC. I tried to negotiate, but didn’t work on salary but they did budge on signing bonus from 10k to 20k. I’m in a tier 1 US city , east coast. I have a masters of science in engineering (3 years and coauthored/lead author on climate change related papers). 1.5 YOE in consulting, ~4 YOE in research/internships hitting climate change and sustainability topics. I also have a B.S degree and coauthored a paper about the effects of climate change back then. I am leaving a consulting job that paid about 70k, working on energy related government work.

I know nothing about boutique but big 4 definitely provides pretty quick career acceleration (promotions every few years) and you work with very motivated people, though hours/expectations can be quite challenging at times.

Just finished my masters (not engineering or Msc) and got two offers: sustainability analyst at PwC for $72k and ESG in PE for $75k.

8 YOE $90k in Net Zero Transition (Energy and Industry Practice) living in London

I work at an employee-owned boutique B-corp firm in Toronto, Canada. Have ~3 YOE incl co-ops and am taking a PT masters of sustainability management. As a year 2 analyst I make $57k but my bonuses are ~ 80% of my base salary.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
