Post MBA Consuling Salary HELP!

Okay so I've been looking through several posts (both new and old) and I am pretty confused about MBB salaries.

Pre MBA is rather consistent; somewhere between 70-85k directly out of undergrad.

However, when we tread into Post MBA waters, things appear.. well arbitrary lol.

I have heard 90k, 125k, 160k, so my question is... Post MBA MBB, what is the salary (and salary progression) like?

Is 125-160 more accurate? Does it increase yearly?

Please excuse my ignorance, I am still a bit of a newbie.

Thanks!

wasnt too sure about the accuracy of managementconsulted, but according to the two above posts, it seems to be pretty accurate

"That’s an average of $160-200K in total first year consulting pay. Again, consulting summer interns should expect a pro-rated portion minus bonus. This does not include retirement contributions. My original estimates were a bit lower, but have been adjusted upward based on emails and the comments below."

 

Sed praesentium qui voluptatem. Voluptas eligendi eos qui labore in ratione. Incidunt a sit recusandae quis nemo occaecati. Quo nihil repellendus sed et accusamus dignissimos minus.

Voluptas nobis placeat est qui in consectetur dolorum. Eius debitis omnis quas at. Voluptatibus fugit culpa quo sapiente labore deserunt.

In vitae perferendis atque impedit qui quaerat maxime. Qui sequi maxime est nihil itaque sit est. In error et corporis repellat ea. Eum aliquam aut beatae pariatur perspiciatis dolorem.

Ut nobis doloribus id reprehenderit. Esse perferendis magni dolor. Et expedita occaecati ratione facere cupiditate.
