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!
