How much does a management consulting firm charge for one case?

The rate charged is really dependent on the number of people involved, the length of the case and how much of a discount. Still want to know how much does a management consulting firm such as McKinsey, Bain, BCG charge?

On a well-sold project in a high-fee region, Tier 1/2 firms charge ~100k USD per consultant per month

We are all getting away from the "dollars per head per week" billing rate idea as much as we can. Having said that, your number is quite low for MBB. Pricing for Tier 1 and 2 firms is quite different. That's part of why they are in different tiers.
