RX at AP or A&M (FTI better WLB, but less pay) - though this is a more niche service and not “traditional consulting”

Strategy at MBB and T2 (and several boutiques: OC&C, Altman, Kaiser, Etc.) - this would encompass GTM strategy, pricing strategy, M&A strategy/CDD, ops performance improvement, etc.

PE value creation, merger integration/carve out, and ODD (MBB, T2, and boutiques)

Idk much about tech consulting, but prob pays bread too

I mean he highest paying are probably famous self help gurus or professors who start boutique consulting firms where people pay millions for their advice. For anyone looking for a salaried job, strategy for MBB probably pays the most. Tech consulting also pays pretty well if you have hard skills.

C2 — yes, software implementation as well as tech strategy. I’m not as familiar with the salary ranges for them, but I’ve heard they can be on the higher end since firms are competing for talent with tech.

At Accenture that's true.

Strategists, then Songwritters.

Might be some surprises out there. I worked for a boutique firm that has a pay structure where you essentially got to keep a % of your bill rate for all hours over 40 you billed and always contracted with clients T&M so you billed actuals. Worked 'consulting hours' and was making a ton, early on, for many many years
