This is 100% true, McK does not do year-end bonuses. BUT, if you are highly rated (I think a 5 is the highest), you get a 30% pay increase or something like that. So in year two, you would be making 30% more, and if you are the highest rated person again in year 2, you do the math.... so in year 4 plus a promo, you are doing cooler stuff than a banker and you are bringing in more than 200k a year or something close to that.

Guys, I don't know where you are getting your info, but in some offices McK has always included performance bonuses in BAs offers, even before 2013.

I have heard BA's getting bonuses in previous years as well. But the counter evidence is mostly coming from the aggregate of the link I posted above.

I always thought it should be an all or nothing thing, because it's almost always represented in the contract. It would seem pretty questionable (potentially creating a toxic work environment) if some first years got bonuses in their contract while others didn't.

My post was specifically referring to U.S. offices and I believe that's what Sour Patch was referring to as well. It makes sense that compensation would vary across geographies/countries.

I've been told that McKinsey pays its associates and EMs the same salary across geographies. I'm a little skeptical though. Can anyone verify if this is true?

100% true for associates. Not sure anyone can say for certain for EMs since there is a natural range due to performance/advancement differences. From what I know, however, seems to be true for EMs as well.
