Comp Increases

My friends at BCG London have said that comp increased from about 90-95k pounds (1st year post mba associate) to 110K. 

Wondering if Mck/Bain have matched?

Also, have salaries risen in the US? 


Also curious as to whether the rising post mba IB associate salaries will put any pressure on consulting firms to raise theirs. 

Cheers,

P
