Post-MBA consulting: how much bonus can you expect?

At the consulting firms, they offer performance bonus UP TO 25K or 30K for example. I'm guessing these are for the top performers ranking above their peers.

For most, what is the typical and realistic bonus you can expect in a post-mba consultant role?
