MBB folk: after 3 years of work if you choose to delay or postpone MBA, does your salary essentially double? From UG 80-90K to 160-170K in 3 years?

No, salary doubles if you're worth the skills..not because you have an MBA (or whatever else)

I understand, as a point of clarification, I mean assuming you’re promoted on schedule and not counseled out.

Salary increase is dependent on getting promoted to the next level.

Having an MBA is not the determining factor at BCG.

Many partners started after undergrad and worked their way up without getting an MBA.

I think so. At BCG if you get promoted to a Consultant from Associate you’d get C pay too, even without MBA. If you don’t get promoted within that time frame, you’d be transitioned out anyway.

At Bain if you get a direct promote (from SAC to C1) you get the same C1 pay as those who went to Bschool. However, it is harder to make manager and keep advancing without an MBA, they are strongly recommended.

You can be EM here is 3 years post UG... plenty of comp, more than double.

Somehow no one from BCG understood the questions. The answer is yes - after two years as an A you will be promoted to C, which is 2x the comp

Correct

Same answer for Strategy&

Obviously, getting promoted without one is extremely difficult- otherwise, why get an MBA?

It is not difficult for us... at all. I’d bet most of our sponsorees go to MBA at 2-3.5 years, after they’ve been promoted to the post MBA role.

^yes. Exactly as B4 said it is not difficult, there is absolutely no requirement. The numbers are skewed because the majority of our associate class voluntarily attrites (startup, PE, school, etc) - but if you are going a good job, it’s an easy promo

I've completed the final rounds for 2 companies: AWS as an L7 Principal PMT and another that's a Series-A funded startup in the HCM space. I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.
