2018 Deloitte S&O MBA Salary/Comp

My MBA friends who are sponsored by Deloitte S&O all got their offer information today—$140K base, $25K signing, $20K early signing, $10K relocation (or $2.5K if local), and variable performance bonus (edit: up to 22%, not 25%).

Management Consulted had $149K base for 2017 and $147K for 2016 though. Anyone know what's going on here? Is Management Consulted just wrong, or did Deloitte really lower the base salary for 2018? The only other change is early signing bonus up to $20K from $17.5K.

This info is across schools and US offices by the way (it's all the same).

edit: Management Consulted was just wrong, and they corrected the 2017 numbers after I asked about them.

I think the offer information on Management Consulted has just been historically wrong for at least 2016 and 2017. I've seen the 2018 offer document and it's indeed what I posted above, except max performance bonus is 22%, not 25%. I can confirm 2017 base is also $140K, not $149K.

Makes me question every other salary data point on Management Consulted...

 

Depends on how the partnership wants to extract money. Paying higher salaries means less money for the partners or other investments. MBB needs to pay the most because they have to boast with having the best people and toughest problems. Deloitte doesn't have to do so as they do different work or they know they'll lose anyway against MBB even if compensation matches.

ATK internally thinks or used to think they can play with MBB hence why their salaries are high. Accenture is starting up their consulting arm and is in high need of reasonable talent, hence why they pay the mark up. Deloitte has a solid base from the 2000s and doesn't have a similar need for rapid scale up.

Not sure what you are talking about. ATK competes well with MBB for Operations Strategy work which is becoming an increasingly important business segment for the pure players. And Accenture Strategy has been around for years. Several years ago, they just separated Strategy's P&L from the broader Management Consultant practice to give the Strategy leaders more control but not much else changed.

 

Is this for DC Analysts who are getting sponsored to go to B School?

Or MBA Summers coming back to DC after finishing their MBAs? I ask because OP mentioned the word "sponsored".

Or is it because if you accept summer return offer at DC, they "sponsor" the 2nd year of B School?
