How does pay differ along the career curve for BB vs. strategy consulting (talking Bain, McK, BCG etc.).?
Interesting in both analyst years and future potential earning (inclduing looking at potential roles it opens up)

Pretty easy to find this info on M&I and Management Consulted.
The pay at both is more than enough for someone fresh out of college. Don't worry about the salary, worry about what you learn.
Yeah good luck thinking that is of interest to 99% of people here.
True, I feel obligated to try and educate though, boat against the current and all that.
I'd do my job for 50% of my salary right now in a heartbeat based on the experience alone.
