That’s very broad. Anywhere from 80k-130k (depending on company/city/experience). Ex. Folks at Booz Allen are making like 90k/year in T1 city, while your 4th year consultant at Big4 could be hitting 115k. Be more specific and we can’t help narrow it down

But yeah, broad question is broad

85-125 is what I've seen and I've researched this a lot first hand with my peers across different firms. Non MBB

Honestly, we can’t tell you without knowing more, 5 years of experience in most places will get you a senior title and 6 figures for the most part, but entirely depends on their experience, and what work they’re doing

A1 / SA1, I'm 4.5 years in and at $140k base salary. Your upper range should be higher

Depends entirely on firm. “Average” id imagine would be low six figures, factoring in boutiques, less big name firms, along with MBB

At bcg if you make it through the promos to Project leader you will be at 260-300 all in

How do you best leverage a job offer when you don’t want to leave? In the running for a VP job (higher level than now) that pays $70k higher than what I currently make. I want to ask for more money, but don’t want them to see me as a flight risk or that I am not loyal anymore. Or my bigger fear is they’ll say they cannot offer me any more and then I feel like I have egg on my face. Any tips for delicately balancing this?
