top line advice here is that if you are interested in consulting, strive for MBB above all else but T2s can be good options as well partner comp at MBB starts at 1M and only goes up, varying on how commercially successful you are. a reasonable year as a tenured partner could mean 2-3M, a really good year could mean 4-5+. so yes, you will be easily able to afford a 2M home.

Management Consulting Mock Coffee Chat

“He was very friendly and helpful throughout the session. He provided a lot of practical advice on how to approach coffee chats with consultants. We also did a quick mock coffee chat, during which he gave me detailed and constructive feedback on the types of questions I could ask, how to follow up on responses, and how to explore topics in greater depth. I found the session really insightful and feel much more confident about approaching future coffee chats.”

Management Consulting Short Resume Review / Recap

“Matt was great-- he provided lots of good feedback on my resume and clarified some confusions I had on the experience section vs the leadership/activities one which i found very helpful, not only today, but just for the future in general. Additionally, he left time at the end for me to ask questions which I really appreciated, and I asked him some questions about consulting as a whole + his experience at Deloitte, and he was very knowledgeable about it all. He also provided me with good advice on how to navigate things moving forward.”
