I know of 2 salary points for tier 2s, which are on the upper end:

45k base+10k ish bonus+ 5-8k sign on

50k base + 10k ish bonus

Simple terms upper end is c.60k ish, think some of the Big 4 strat arms may only may 40/42 base but need to confirm.

 

Post-UG / MSc: £40-50k + £5-10k bonus + £5-10k signing

Post-MBA: £80-90k + £15-25k bonus + £20-25k signing

Was obsessed with finance, now do product in tech
 

Out of curiosity can someone clarify how MBB does pay raises for Associates who joined at UG and got promoted? I've heard that they are aligned to post-MBA salaries but have also heard others say that it's a yearly incremental (so essentially Associate pay is your base pay as a BA multiplied by each year's performance rating for the 2-3 years prior)

 

What stage is post-MBA equivalent for internal promotions?

Is it associate consultant (aka 2/3yrs in)?
