What's the pay progression like for associates at PwC the first few years? Not interested in bonuses or benefits, just base pay. I can only find good info on MBA progression, not Associates out of UG

Jesus. Don't know why you guys are in consulting. Not worth the effort at those salary bands. My total comp has more than tripled in 5 years at ATK out of undergrad. That's pretty standard for what my friends at LEK, OW and MBB have done as well. Even boutiques like AlixPartners and Oc&c have a strong and similar salary progression.

And I'm asking about Advisory specifically.

Most will double their starting pay during their time at manager.

Pwc1. That was the old rule. Not anymore as an undergrad hire to manager. Maybe a1 to m3 will be double.

PwC1 - I know that it jumps up quite a bit by then, but are there decent increases the first few years?

For more context, I'm an intern and am fairly certain I'll be receiving an offer. Last year's offers were like $72,000ish I believe, so this year should be in that neighborhood. But I can't find how that generally increases with experience as an associate.

I live in an extremely high COL area and have a family, so just trying to get a better idea of what my next few years could look like financially with pay progression.

There are plenty of variables I know, but any insight in typically pay progression sans incentives is helpful.

Sa1 in high cost is 99k.

@P2: correct. During time at manager, not M1.

ATK1 assuming you started around 70.. you're making ~210 as a SC?

I was talking total comp. - I'm actually over 3x on total. Base went from 70 to 175ish. I'm a manager now, but even the slowest promotion path people would be at the associate level making 150k base at this point.

Yeah big 4 pay sucks.

Shit I need to look at AT or LEK... Any of them have a strong tech presence?
