Wow this is so low!! Top BCG PLs are making 210k base these days with 110k bonuses. 70k pay cut?

You won’t start making big bucks unless tech or L6 but you’ll get there if you can hack it at M

LEK1 - What do you think is a typical exit?

How many YOEs do you need typically for L5 or L6 at google and do you need an MBA

Agree with above—also all YOE isn’t the same.

Relevant experience at Meta > supply chain at Campbells Soup. TMT experience at MBB > energy experience at B4.

People with your background/level have been getting L6, would push for that since 5 to 6 promotion takes time/is hard. Honesty no idea how they are determining which level to give, seems random and dependent on role.

I think for EM/PLs though that get 5 they offer the high end which can be low 300s in NY/SF so it’s competitive.

Would not leave for L5. That’s low for your experience and education.

L5 is pretty standard for a third year post MBA until the pandemic hit and they started giving out L6s. That's not low at all as hiring cuts back.

L6 at google is tough to crack. YoE doesn’t mean much if it isn’t relevant. You can’t have it all
