London consulting comp benchmarking

After 1 year in a London boutique I got promoted from Junior Consultant to Consultant, and my total comp increased from £45k to £50k per year - how does that measure up to your experience?

Context: the boutique in specialised in a specific niche, and I joined as a new graduate with little prior experience
