I recently was promoted to principal (manager equivalent). I was given 145k base 15k bonus target. I’m in nyc. For those at other firms does this seem low? I was expecting 160 from what I’ve seen on my forms Glassdoor. Adding some more info I do data and analytics at a medium sized firm that focuses more on tech.

Omg! I’m pissed now. I’m a Principal in NYC with over 10 YOE and I’m barely hitting 150k with a bonus target of $18k 😭

Its low. Manager total comp should be at 200k or a little below

funny

Not at B4 lol

145k for a newly promoted M (assuming you’re homegrown) is within range, but definitely on the lower range. If you’re in management consulting and not MBB (which from your title you’re not), I would say M salary is between 140-170.

Which firm?

Slalom

Compared to MBB and T2 it’s very low, but not sure if those are true comps; might be helpful to share some more details to get an accurate benchmark

Only full time experience is counted and looks like you have 4.5 YOE, so you are right in the range

What type of consulting? FWIW, I work at Big4 as a second year manager in risk consulting and I’m at 142k/year.

If you are manager equivalent, yours is in the rough ballpark. YOE?

Graduated in 16 but had a par time role in industry all through college which rolled into my full time role once I graduated.
So 5 to 7 years depending on how you look at it.

I’m a manager 1 in a low-mid tier city and make that amount, I would expect a higher comp for tier 1/NYC.

It’s totally in line for 4 years out of school at a mid-tier firm.

Coming from a Big 4 based on Chicago it seems a little low for a Principal, in my old firm Principals are equity partners that are not accountants.

I’m sorry Op. It does seem low even for non-strategy/non-MC and non-MBB.

Tier 1, Tech consulting new manager here making $172K base.

Can you go to HR to do a salary evaluation?

When people say total comp, does that include pension/ 401k contributions and other benefits, or just base and bonus?

It doesn’t usually include 401k contributions or pensions. Just base and bonus...and RSU if your company offers that.

Hold on, you were expecting a significant raise with a “promotion” at Slalom? How do your new job responsibilities compare to old? Ex. sales targets, people management?

New titles or not, Slalom comp growth tends to be on the low side. If you are looking for big4 type comp, you might need to deal with big4 type hours and stress...

$150k+ TC with under 5 years of experience sounds very reasonable to me.

Also... and I mean this in the nicest way... seriously doubt a big 4 would bring you on as a manger

To be fair it varies across the board. I would say you’re generally correct, but I’ve been at Slalom ~2 years and have seen my comp jump 17% since joining (and I left B4 with a 30% raise)
