What are people’s estimates for median salary 5 and ten years out of MBA? I know there is a huge range, but I’m trying to come up with a realistic and conservative projection so I can do some planning for paying off my loans vs. investing (my longest/biggest loan is 16 years but I’m hoping to pay everything off in ten). For context I will be in (non-MBB) consulting for at least 3 years. I later might pivot to in-house or switch to VC/Startups.
