So let's say you work for 4 years, then get an MBA and get recruited by MBB. Average age by then will be 28. Do you start off as a BA with the undergrad hires or what level do you come in as?

Of course you don't come in at entry level with a MBA. Title varies by firm, but you come in as a step below a manager.

like

You will come in at the Associate (Mck), Consultant (BCG/Bain) levels.

Thanks guys

Unless you are an exec, you basically join MCK as an associate with the MBA hires

^ correct. Consultant is the post-MBA level (undergrad is called Associate)

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
