Certainly in industry and depending on location. Although most of those roles are likely elevated out of a lot of the technical aspects. Likely a job above controller.

You don't need to be above controller to get $200k base...my friend is director at Mariott with few years less than 10 YOE making about that much

Well I’m at 170k at 4 YOE as Manager 1. So I’d say yes. And I’m not in consulting. Consulting would most certainly get you there.

$185K with $15K to $25K bonus.

I work an average of less than 40 hours per week, although it's not evenly spread. Some days I am out at 2PM and others I am working all night. I am basically the tax consulting wing of a Family Office. I have a few compliance engagements, but most of my work is ad-hoc.

In all honesty $200k is very achievable even with less experience than that. It’s the $350k+ range which is much tougher to crack even if you had double the experience.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

Hi Everyone! I have a background in health research. I received my first offer as a ux researcher 3 (1 step below senior) which is pretty competitive compared to my former field. It is with fanduel for 120k base, 6% bonus (8% next year since I’m not starting in jan) , I believe 10% in equity (12.5% next year) total comp 130. I’m extremely grateful but just wanted to see if this was acceptable for the industry. I’m mixed methods and they want to build out their quant side. Should I accept as is?
