C1 - a home grown manager sounds about right for 120. I would definitely ask for more as a lateral move for sure. Also the 160 you’re referencing is for strategy which pays significantly more than MC

My wife was a PwC consulting manager (not S&) in Chicago making 165 two years ago, no MBA. Ya’ll are seriously underpaid.

C1: Manager in consulting has a such a wide salary band depends on practice and number of years in position. OP is asking for MC M2 (Management Consulting Manager year 2) in ACN. I am happy for you and your wife, but her salary had to be based on number of years of experience as well as her practice/expertise. Year 2 manager in MC at 160k is not a norm, especially not at ACN. We all look for higher salary and come to this bowl, but I certainly don’t want to set wrong expectation for other users.

and boom goes the dynamite 🧨 💥

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
