People complain about salaries in B4 consulting, I don’t get it. I literally have two years experience, F all and am paid 90k. My dad has 30 years experience in the military and earns the same as me. The salary ain’t bad

Any MBB or strategy focused firm (T2 or boutiques) will pay more than industry at almost all levels.

Non strategy firms like big 4 are a different story.

Yes. Firm makes a big difference. I left B4 for industry for a massive pay bump. Money in T2 is not bad. I am sure MBB even better.

Level and skill set will help answer the question…

Depends on the firm

Obviously MBB pays the most

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
