Child on the Way - Standard Compensation in Management Consulting?

Hey all,

Have a child on the way so money is now top of mind. I am graduating in 1 year so really need to start making some important decisions in life.

Just wondering what would be standard compensation (base + bonus) for management consulting. Would love if you guys could provide info on MBB/T2 and boutiques.

FYI, really just looking at the Canadian scene.

Thanks!

Management Consulting LinkedIn Review

“Jaden has been incredibly helpful with reviewing my LinkedIn profile and supporting me through the application process. I really appreciate the time he takes to catch up with me, understand my current pace, and offer guidance that feels relevant to where I am right now. His feedback has helped me feel more confident about how I present myself and approach applications. It has been reassuring to have someone so approachable, supportive, and willing to help me keep moving forward at a pace that suits me.”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“Adam was extremely clear and structured in his communication, which was particularly helpful as market sizing was a type of case that I had never practised before (and have interviews coming up where I have to use it). He explained how to approach the problem step by step, including which clarifying questions to ask, how to structure the calculations and how to approach the maths logically. His explanations were easy to follow and I came away with a much better understanding of how to tackle market sizing questions in future interviews.”
