The big 4 (KPMG, EY, Deloitte, PWC) pay about £55k to start, no bonus, no expenses. Other firms provide you with corporate accommodation, comprehensive expense package, and negotiated bonus. Obviously base will be lower as a result.
how about McKinsey and BCG, Bain? any info on analyst and assoicate pay?
55K isnt bad since at todays fx rates thats $88k AND BCG pays $98K in NY and OWFS pays $100K. Does london comp benchmark the NY scale?
There is no way the big 4 give you 55k on joining after an undergrad degree. I assume that is after a couple of years/after an mba.
Straight out of undergrad MBB all offer between 30 and 40k, with a sign-on bonus of a few k and and annual bonus of a few k.
The pay is MUCH less than the equivalent positions in the US.
Hello members, I am very new to this forum. I would like to know the salary break up of a manager audit in a big 4 in London. Glassdoor range is around 55k so does this include car allowance which is normally 4.5 to 6k? or the car allowance is part of benefits hence the normal salary is 55k+4.5k. Thanks, really appreciate the help.
I heard from a friend that consulting pays ZERO
haha just had to flame, on a more serious note i heard something in the range from 35k to 37k for non MBB in London.
Yup, that's correct or even lower. Think Deloitte London pays £32-£35k for their analyst program. When you get to consultant, it gets to about £42k then senior consultant starts at £50k. Little to no bonus.
