Underpaid. Same YOE for me and also SC and I make 170k base in Boston

likefunny

Sounds like either MBB or T2 for C1. Not reasonable to expect that across consulting, and those are roles you can’t lateral to w/o MBA

Maybe underpaid slightly. I’m at 140+ TC, MCOL (Dallas). 4 YOE.

Spot on. This is the range for sc assuming you have an mba

Lol I’m at $80k + 5% bonus / VHCOL / 1 fewer YOE 😂

Definitely switch firms, you are worth at least 100k base conservatively

Good. You’re defn not underpaid neither overpaid. Honestly, if you’ll ask people here, there would be tons in 80-95k range who would give you a ‘feel good’ feeling and some with 140-160k who are defn at the top of the band for that experience. That’s true for any level. Honestly; the real question you should be asking is ‘Are you happy at where you are’? Are you able to do things which you love with that pay? If yes, then that’s great.

Just for this post, I have similar experience as you(no mba, but a masters) and in the early 130s bracket and pretty happy with it. I guess that’s what matters!

What industry are you aligned to / how old are you / location?

No industry alignment. 27, Boston

Gotcha. I’d say that’s pretty good! Great job. Only reason I ask is because I’m 24, NYC, aligned to Financial Services making roughly around same thing. So it could just be location.

MBA?

Firm?

I’m In healthcare so this is on considered the mid-higher end I believe. Doesn’t matter if you have a grad degree or not but it sure helps to bump It to this range

Can confirm in health provider and have 120k base with grad degree

I'd say spot on as well. - could you get paid more? Sure. You're definitely not getting screwed.

Spot on.

Yes- you potentially find another consulting company to pay you 20k more, even more at MBB. But I think you can feel assured you aren’t getting screwed

Same YOE. Offered with same base pay but only 5% bonus.

Hello Fishes,

Deloitte USI is offering me 15LPA fixed and 1lack joining bonus and HCL offering me 23LPA fixed.
