Watch out guys, there's a real badass gracing us with his presence in the consulting forum today.

 

And a ridiculous amount of airline / hotel points? And PTO? And light Fridays / protected weekends? And, let's be honest, social interaction?

McK pays 90k base out of undergrad. With signing bonus and 401k contribution, everyone's making over 100k before performance bonus.

 

that’s for a masters student tho correct? not straight out of undergrad

 

The salary seems to be pretty transparent at analyst level. Unclear how you square that $140k  # ? I guess is you add base plus bonus plus sign on plus 401K plus value of " meal /daily expense tab" you could get close.  85k base + 15K bonus + 10K sign on + 7.5K 401K + 7K (meal allowance/travel point value) = 125K .  Would be interested in knowing if 140K is a reality or if that is a bit of a stretch.

current MBB first yr max comp is between 110 and 120, depending on the specific company. M has the most upside for performance bonuses, though I hear the max first year bonus is only given out to like the top 5-10% of analysts

comp growth is pretty nice though. at M, you can get promoted to manager in 3 years and make between 250 and 300 all in. 

the lower comp compared to banking is made up for by better hours, more varied exits, and more interesting work (subjective)

 

You *can* get promoted to manager in 18-24 months. They're really not kidding when they throw around the word "meritocracy." 3-4 years is more typical but either way, comp growth is solid for those who stay.

 

110-120 is what i’ve heard as well. That’s good $$$ damn
