Why is glassdoor showing such a low average salary for senior consultants? Is this actually true or is glassdoor data worthless?

That’s not low at all considering all the firms out there. Different sizes, prestige levels, clients, etc

I made $102k base at EY as a Senior 2. This was after 10 years of experience outside consulting. Made $124k when promoted to manager. Not as sexy for the amount of work I was putting in. So I left for more money in industry.

EY2 - the money made it an easy decision to leave. No brainer. But, I do miss some parts of consulting.

I make 97k as a Senior Consultant up for manager this year

Brah. That’s not low..

Who cares

4 years exp in Salesforce, at a small/startup sized firm, 100k+ 10% bonus, pretty close for me

That’s my salary lol

this includes all senior consultants, from tax, assurance etc. is not a low salary, a friend got paid 80k as a SC3 in EYP just because he came from South America. Later he got promoted to M where he now makes around 110K

Some other lines make less than consultants, in my country, Assurance and Risk make much much more than Consulting, where M3s are getting around 100k in consulting vs 130k in risk or assurance

There's also often a pay differential between public sector work and commercial work that glassdoor is probably trying to cover with this spread. When I was an SC in the public sector I made between 85 and 100

It depends if you are an MBA hire. MBA hires at EYP now start at 170. It is significantly lower for non-MBAs.

It’s often based on competence.

That ain’t low

I make $79k. Got promoted to SC during Covid and only got 3% raise from C to SC.

Lol yeah I know. I’m not happy about. Hoping they make things right with June raises / AIP. I have feelers out if not.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
