MBA question - I worked in strategy consulting (big 4) for 2 years and have done 1 year in a S&O role at DoorDash. TC is well over $150 but cash component is low 100s. To be honest, it feels like it’ll take 3-4 years to get 150k+ cash (likely senior manager).
Would getting an MBA accelerate my compensation growth? Or are there other tech companies with S&O roles out there that pay higher base 4-5 years into my career?

McK is paying slightly over 200k TC for new hires. So at least that the MBA would give you if you join MBB

SM in tech should be paying 200k base

Total comp is 200k but DoorDash is weighted heavily on stock

Focusing on base in consulting is silly when a huge portion of TC is in equity. If you want base salary, just join any consulting firm. MBB and T2s pay 175ish base for your level

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.
