I'm curious about salary trends. I'm a consultant at a boutique firm and received a 5% raise after six months. Is a typical raise for entry-level consultants at top-tier firms similar or higher?

I concur for KPMG. I went from (approximate numbers):

85K (start) > 90K (Y1) > 95K (mid year) > 100k (Y2)

Midyear adjustment was compression due to the new hires starting at 95k. So basically 5K (5-7%) every time. Seems to be in line or better than with everyone else I chat with. Comp communicator also told me 5.something% was the average raise for associates in my group.

Glassdoor is a great place to find salary info. They own fishbowl now so I think you might already have an account.

Entry-level salary trends will vary between firm, sector, market, performance, and other factors. Best to compare yourself to other entry-level people at your firm. That will be harder at a boutique of course.

A ~10.25% annualized raise internally with no promo is seems pretty good right now!
