Salaries in Tech and Management Consulting at Big 4

Hello folks,
I have a query about salary offerings in tech vs management consulting at Big 4. Are there significant pay gap b/w senior consultants in tech and management consulting?I see that post MBA seniors make ~140k.
Source: management consulted http://managementconsulted.com/consulting-salaries/2014-management-cons…
Glassdoor gives tech consulting senior salaries as ~95k (Deloitte is an exception which pays ~135).

My question is if join as an associate at Big 4 tech consulting, and I go on to make senior associate, would the pay be much less than what senior associates in MC (with MBA) are making?

The second part of the question is in that case, will be better of after getting an MBA before making senior?
Looking forward to your responses?
