Not really. Fresh undergrads make 70-90k base in consulting nowadays. On one hand, you could make the case that 59k for a 9-5 with no travel is better than 80k for a 55 hour week plus travel. On the other, 59k base for an individual is quite good given that median household income in NYC is just over 60k. Get a comparably paid roommate, and the earner will be in a clearly above median household! https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/nycdata/income-taxes/med_hhold_income.htm

Unsure what others are saying 🤦🏻♂️. If you haven’t had any offer then yes grab it and gain exp. if there are other options then no
Hell no
In the attempt to be helpful, I should add more to the comment above....
As others have pointed out: take it if that is all you have right now so you can transition later. Also.. if this is a wfh position I can see that being reasonable assuming you can live farther from the city. My concern is the col of the city and how limited you will be with this salary after taxes if you have/want to live in the city. Good luck
Is that bi-yearly?

Yes, it’s very decent. You gotta be careful asking these questions on this platform

No
Nope
I’d expect at least 70k, and even that’s tough in NYC
It’s not great. I worked as an entry level market research analyst (not at a consulting firm) in Boston in 2014. Starting base salary was 55K.
No. Not even if you’re living with your parents. Definitely cannot live in NY on that salary.
Nooooo
Lol nope bro

Not even close.
What exactly does a market research analyst do - other than “market research”
Depends on what your other choices are. And what the firm is. If that’s your only offer and it’s with a small firm, then you probably have to take it.
If it’s with a bigger firm, you could probably negotiate. If you have another offer, you can use that to negotiate. Otherwise it’s your best and only offer.
In general, the range for a fresh grad in consulting is 65-85. Getting more than 85 needs a top firm essentially. So you’re a little below consultants but can’t answer more without knowing more about the job
