Post-consulting salary expectations

I’m moving back from Europe to the US and want to know what kind of compensation I should expect as I move from consulting to corporate/industry? I’m not yet 100% what role I want to pursue after consulting.

My background:

- BA in the US and master’s degree in the UK

- 2 years as Business Analyst at McKinsey London

- 1 year secondment at a mid-sized consumer/tech company 

- 1.5 years as Associate at McKinsey London 

Thanks for help.
