For MBB, T2, Big 4 consulting firms all post-MBAs start at the same role. At McKinsey the role is called associate, but at Bain/BCG it’s called consultant. The role and comp are the same even though the titles are different.

 

would the compensation be equivalent to 2nd year analyst or in other words lesser compared to a typical associate mba grad since there isn’t relevant pre-mba experience?
