It depends on what you call “compensation”. Bain is $400k in (base + bonus) but profit share gets you another $100k IF you get profit share that year — which I believe they have not the last 3 years. There’s also like $30k in retirement if you count that. I believe high performers are 30% more but I doubt they give that to many people.
BCG is closer to $450k with about another $50k in retirement. High performers can get 2x bonus I believe, which also impacts the retirement percentage proportionally. You can also be off axis for 1.5x
McKinsey is the lowest but their promotion path is quicker to make up for it
Accurate.
I wish 400k was light for me
It’s called work. Keeps you alive.
US? It’s between 350 and 450
That's so weird. I work at Mastercard Advisors which is Consulting arm of Mastercard at the Principal level. I made 460K last year and I am not even one of the best performers who easily get >500K. I thought for grind you go through at Big 3 it would be at least 500K for an average performer
Is Principal your most senior role?
Def 500+ for most at bcg I believe. There’s grade inflation at these levels so everyone is a high or top performer
For “partner” which is the last step before real equity partner I made 625K - this includes 401K contributions so it’s not all in year cash.
Sounds like A&M is the play
Op, what are the numbers at A&M from what you’ve seen? Also, which practice, seems pretty practice dependent from my understanding.
Why are you thinking of leaving A&M?
Not with the comp numbers on this post haha. Our guys make almost double what everyone’s posting here. I made that much money last 2 years ($450k) when I was 2 promotions away from the levels we’re talking about… worked a lot sure, but still had all my weekends and always able to have dinner with the wife.
about Tree Fiddy
Top box Pr will make ~$500K, including Base + Bonus + Profit Share
Top box Partner will make ~$650K, including Base + Bonus + Profit Share + Firm Performance Bonus
At Target performance each level is closer to ~$400K and ~$500K all in comp respectively
