Is 130k total comp for HCOL Manager1 with 4YOE good for top 10 consulting company? I feel like I could make a lot more if I go to a different company — thoughts?

Pretty terrible for total comp but you're also a Manager at 4 YOE so I'm guessing you work at a firm with inflated titles or something. 130k total comp is pretty good 4 years into consulting

Sounds like a ‘manager’ role but not really. More like an SC role.

My first thought. Inflated title

I’ve seen new grads make more than that

Comp seems low for the title- I make similar at the level below M at my firm + typically see M salary ranging from $150-200k base

How are you 4 YOE and a manager? Top 10 is so vague. Tier 2 and B4 should have you eat over that as a manager.

For a manger that’s horrible comp. For 4 YOE, not horrible but nothing crazy.

I’m 5yoe and I’m 160k total comp. Switch companies and you’ll get yo there.

I think for this market not terrible for that years of experience but for the title itself I’ve defs seen higher TC

I was $185k base as an M1 with ~5 YOE at a boutique. Ended up getting recruited to another role before EOY bonus but target was 25% of base. This was good but not exceptional comp.

$130k TC is pretty low no matter how you slice it. Not bad for 4 YOE if you’re not in strategy though

like

Perfectly fine comp for 4 YOE assuming you're not at MBB, T2, B4.

Terrible comp for Manager but that's probably due to the role expectations. My TC is double that but I have ~6 more YOE and am presumably in a higher paid discipline

$130K in a LCOL at B4

130 is what i got for M1 back in 2018. I think market now is more like 150?

I’m @ 130k as a Senior 3 in Tech Risk in HCOL with almost 4 YOE.

I make 140 as senior consultant 5 YOE

Our strong performing undergrad + 4 would have just made C at ~190TC

My base at big 4 as a senior consultant in 2018 was 120k

Consulting is pretty broad. $130 at 4 years in for any flavor of management consulting is pretty low. Not bad if you’re talking about non-client facing or lower skilled staff augmentation “consulting”

Depends on which big 4 and practice. Pwc and KPMG… 2 years at associate, 2 years at SA to manager is very possible. Also, an SA in big 4 closer to $130

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.
