Senior associate in HCOL city is ~135k base

like

To give you perspective, ACN pays managers around 175k in MCOL tier cities.

This is for MC, not strategy, so hours per week is around 45-50 hour range.

I’m in M-HCOL M1 at big 4 195 base. SMs can get into the 300s. What offering are you in?

PwC1 - prob in NY or SF(?)

OP can you share with us the firm name and location? Thought might be a helpful reference for everyone here when they have to negotiate salary for themselves :)

Ugh 😑
