Consulting MBA/UG Offer Thread

Hey all,

Long time lurker, first time poster. As this site has been a invaluable source for me during my "formative" years as consultant, I want to contribute by starting the "Consulting MBA / UG Offer Thread". This post will 1) allow me to share my offers for other's reference 2) hopefully allow others to do the same.

I received 2 FT post-MBA offers:

1. MBB - $25K SOB, $140K base, $35K performance
2. Big 4 - $25K SOB, $135K base, $20K performance

I also heard that one MBB is going to $147K base - anyone have data points to back this up?

Anyway, best of luck with your pending (accepted?) offers.

Can confirm from multiple sources w/ direct knowledge. I'm interested to see if the others follow suit. Also, don't forget the performance bonus #'s are usually max potential targets that are rarely reached, even by top performers.

There's also great salary data in WSO's Company DB and here:

The comments on that link have 2015 #s starting to percolate up.

 

Parthenon UG is 90,000 and a signing bonus of 10 and potential EOY i think

from what I understand - they're operating independently under the Parthenon brand with the same leadership. They absorbed about ~50 people from a small group in EY into Parthenon .. which is like 200 I think. different from strategy&/monitor, which seem to be integrating soon/completely integrated already. Parthenon doesn't even fit into EY's "advisory" practice... might explain why salary figures are the same as before since it seems to be really doing its own thing (smart move on EY's part since it seems like no Parthenon partners left and I heard almost none to very few people left post merger)

these are all US numbers
