Realistically how much can you make in consulting at a Big 4? I currently make $140k (base +bonus) as a senior at KPMG. If I stay in Big 4 can I have an extra extremely lucrative career. I am the sole provider in my home and don’t have any debt. Aiming for income of atleast 400k. What are my chances and if people have advice please give it to me!

You won’t make 400 K until partner or MD. Your chances depends on your ability to sell. It seems like you are far away from that, so focus on reaching to the level below partnership first. Once you are there , you will need to build your portfolio to make a case for partnership or MD. It can take 5++ years to get there after reaching the pre partner level.

I was making 175k base at Deloitte as a SC with 6yoe. Managers were making 250k ish after bonus, SMs 300-350k, Directors 400k+ and partners vary widely but most between 400k and $2m.

Getting to SM is difficult but honestly just takes a consistent 10-15 year grind. Getting to director/partner is much harder

Yes can be lucrative. How much income does your family need?

Aim for PPMD at KPMG, but pursue options and opportunities among Big 4, MBB, mag 7, etc.

smart

400+ will require PPMD level. Good luck! Will be easily a million+ once you are decently tenured.
