“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Many of the larger firms (MBB/Big Four/etc.) raised comps for juniors across the board. At the post-MBA level, MBB is now at $175k base along with notable firms like OW, etc.
Yes MBB bumped pay across the board.
Any idea what the pay should be at the Consultant level in London for Strat. At Big 4 / Accenture / FTI
Very low compared to MBB, Law, Banking and PE
How low?
