Was getting paid 130k as an SC/experienced hire (~5 yrs consulting exp). Where do I fall on the continuum? Wanted perspective since I got laid off and am looking for a new job & don't want a haircut

Industry should be 20-25% more than your consulting gig

like

From my perspective you might get about 20% more in industry (or even more) if you get full leverage from your current role and exp (e.g. being poached by a client that really wants and knows you). Maybe about 20% less if you don't get very good leverage and make a more lateral move (e.g. job title parity) instead of moving up the ladder.

Asking because I know MBAs from top 10-20 programs come out in the low 100s for non-consulting. Guessing with 2 years experience they could expect in the 130s

For one minute I thought you didn't want to cut your hair. You are definitely going to make more in Google. Amazon maybe depending on whether you get a level 6 or 7 role (higher is better). Starbucks no clue there.

Asking bc S&O pays more. I don't think you'll get a hair cut, you'll do fine as I know of people at your level who get paid a lot more in S&O

Lateral SC here at sub 120 in S&O. You're definitely not on the lower end.

Ok awesome

What service line, OP? It matters

Does MBA make a difference?

D3, does it really matter that much? Explain? If you're going to say being strategy means you'll get more I'd still say if you don't get good leverage you'll prob still get less in industry. I'm assuming most of us are mgmt consultants and I'd think the general range of outcomes I outlined is more or less consistent with most mgmt consultants going into industry.

@D6 😂😂😂 and thanks for the info!
