I read on poets and quants from an article in 2017that Bain and Co paid Ug's 85K with up to 15% bonus. I messed up. I'll be going into my application and see if can change the bonus down to 12k which is 12.5% of base.

My dumb ass got rejected for asking for $80k base and $105k total comp. Stupid glass door...
I guess ill be asking for 80k total comp for these "small places"
