pwc post-MBA starting salaries

Sorry if this has been answered before. I did a quick search and couldn't find any info on this year's starting salaries at PwC advisory post-MBA. At least a couple of people have reported $135K base + $35K sign on in the comments here: http://managementconsulted.com/consulting-jobs/2013-management-consulti…

Is that accurate? Seems a bit too high for PwC!!

I can confirm for PwC full-time MBA hire (from a top 10-15 ranked program) in the NYC office into a non-financial services management consulting role: 135k base, 35K early sign-on bumps down to 25K for late sign-on; up to 20% year-end bonus

Good information. PwC only hires MBAs at the manager level, correct?
 

I can confirm with Masters degree (non MBA) with about 4 years professional experience they will pay 125-135K plus 25K starting bonus - this is in NYC and in technology consulting.

 

@Blueapple, you;re right in that the pay-band forthe SA is pretty wide. If you're an organic SA (meaning you made SA joining in as an undergrad, or experience hire with no MBA) then you're pay will be signficanlty lower than an MBA hire.

I know some first year SAs w/ MBAs making 135K as stated, and other 2nd Yr SAs in smaller towns making 80K, due to low CoL. So the range can be pretty drastic.
