What is a competitive compensation according to the market after 3 years of consulting experience out of undergrad? Glassdoor suggests $92K as a market average. I am in tech consulting mostly working on the vendor selection, system and processes assessments, and ERP implementation within FS. I know that comp for pwc A3-SA1 tier 2 geo is 86-95. What about other firms?

Probably 3 tiers of salaries:
MBB money - direct promotes to consultant-level and they make post MBA salaries (145k+ base)
Boutiques/Accenture Strategy/Monitor/Parthenon - 100k+ base
Everybody else (Big 4, small boutiques) - 80-100k

The question was regarding undergrad, not MBA. No way you're S3 3 years from undergrad.

Haven't received my comp yet, but there is no way I'll hit 92k and I'm just finishing my third year in strategy.

90-100 all in sounds about right. PwC Senior 1 is 90 and it's an auto promote after 3 years.

I was at 100k base 3 years out of school. 4 years out now and 127k base

Analyst out of school for consulting should be 85-90 base so 3 years consulting should be higher

Made SA3 this year, 3 years out of school. 127k all in.

PwC 2 what level were you after 3 years and what vertical?

PwC 1 actually it is not auto promote. I know a bunch of people who got screwed and stayed at A cohort

PwC2 has been killing it! Good job

Lies. At 92k for start of year 4 with the firm

EY1 - your firm is known to pay less

I'm at 91k 4 years in because I didn't jump around...

I'm at 90k base 3k bonus , 1.4 years in ... doing strategy work ...NYC

Accenture pays the most out of any big 4 from first year through 5th year except for Deloitte who begins to pay higher after consultant

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
