My roommate is deciding between BCG and McKinsey. What should she expect for a starting salary for a consultant coming out of an mba program? What about a signing bonus?

If in the US - 165k base, 25k signing. BCG is 44k bonus? McK 35k.

I.e. both similar enough that she should focus on other aspects

like

McK1’s last point is the main thing. Comp at either is ~$200k run rate + signing + great healthcare. That won’t be the differentiating criteria

Is the MBA target? If so, everyone at BCG and McKinsey start at the same salary, and sign on.

like

These numbers are a tad high for BCG. 2nd year (w/o signing bonus) comp is closer to $190K. Our bonus is not that big for most people.

like

If she has offers she’ll know. Plus this is basically public information (~$165-170K + 18-35% bonus)

like

Tell your roommate that applying to both is a better approach than “picking” between them and applying to one.
