Manager pay band is 95k to 170k. I would say with PhD and your years of experience, you should aim for 150k to 170k.
Secret is not worth that much - Top Secret full scope gives you more leg room.

These are good insights.

Clearance? PhD in data science? Relavant certs? If good answers to all of the preceding, $170k should be your floor. ETA: go work for a big tech company (preferably Microsoft) or Booz instead.

OP where are you located? I am actively looking for someone in your wheelhouse.

Booz is not a big tech company. Just another consulting firm doing mainly “data analytics” in excel

Right: ideally go to a big tech company, the best of which would probably be M; OR go work for Booz. Of the bigs Booz is probably the best IMHO because they pay very well for tech talent + have good wlb and corporate governance. But definitely does not hold a candle to an M type of company in terms of compensation.

I just came over to Guidehouse earlier this year as a data analyst, senior consultant. My salary is $120k. I had to negotiate a little and was told this was towards the cap of what senior consultants make (not sure if true or not).

Eh, I’ll live.

I'm thinking 120-135k would be bad/mediocre, 180-195k would be possible/a stretch, and 160-170k would be doable/realistic. Thoughts? Not interested in Deloitte.
