Would greatly appreciate any insight into 1) the average tenure for an entry-level consultant at a B4 firm here in Chicago; 2) what % jump in salary would justify leaving (either in a normal/pre-COVID world or keeping in mind today's current situation).
Just curious to know how my career plans shape up with what's going on around me.

Tenure 2 years (really 18 months) before you start thinking about grad school. Staying if you make more than $100K+ at 2 years. Leave if you didn’t get promoted to the next level

Making just about $70k now (no raises due to COVID) and figure I'd go up by no more than ~$10k if I get promoted in Sept/Oct (would be my 2 year mark). Any reason you mention grad school vs. a job elsewhere?

But most of peers are now managers, senior managers, directors, controllers, etc. I really don’t want to compare, but how do I deal with this so it doesn’t bother me?
