Yes, considering we (Bain) pay £52k, and BCG & McK also pay £50-55k
McK pays £48k, BCG £55k
Wait, I thought McK raised BAs and As 9% last year. No way that only got them to 48k? Is this for 2023? BCG, I saw the figures, but McK I guesstimated based on what I'd heard about raises and the fact that they had to be "somewhat" aligned. Really surprised by this.
are these base salaries?
Bro how are salaries so low in London…
It's outrageous when you think about it. Supposed to be same level and prestige of work as NYC yet get paid substanitally less.
Below MBB and T2 average but still not a bad offer all things considered
