CONSULTING SALARIES ABROAD?

People say that banks pay the same in the US and abroad... but is this the same for consulting firms (MBB)?

And what about for all levels? How do business school programs look upon analysts from MBB that are housed in the US compared to ones house abroad in Asia and Europe?

Thanks

Why would a b-school care if you came from a foreign office of M/B/B? Furthermore, why would they care about slight pay differentials?

 

I know starting salaries are the same in the US whether you are in New York or Dallas and pretty much the same in Europe. I want to know about Asia..

 

Sometimes positions don't line up - i.e. in India, I believe most firms have a pre-associate role (Jr. Associate?) which is where hires out of college start.
