2018 Management Consulting Salary Discussion

Here's the annual discussion released for salaries. I can confirm a couple incorrect points on the site for undergrads: Deloitte S&O (deloitte as a whole) does not pay a performance bonus until two years later, also Strategy& does not pay 90k first year to undergrads, 75k +5k seems to be the norm. Let's get a discussion going, especially with all the talk that BCG/Deloitte are bumping salaries up for incoming hires.

(cant post the link but just google management consulting 2018 salaries and you'll find it)
