[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went into corp fin year 1. $105k + 15k bonus + $40k sign on bonus. Hated it. 
Moved to corp strategy at another firm year 2. $115k + 12k bonus + 100K sign on bonus 
Year 3: $125k + 30k bonus
Year 4: $140k + 50k bonus

If I went to mgmt consulting id be closer to $250 to maybe even $300K by now, but the hours are brutal. I prefer my 35 hour unlimited vacation, unlimited sicklifestyle.

Also depends heavily what MBA. Wharton vs AU is no comparison. [/quote]

What work experience did you have prior to this, because this sounds too good to be true if you are just freshly minted MBA without much or just with a couple of years of junior work experience.[/quote]

Really? I'm on the low end of my peers actually. Most of my friends did better than this. I had about 7 years WE prior to my MBA, but honestly that's not the key. In fact, its not even a benefit. Starting salaries are the same at most firms regardless of work experience. You can see this or yourself if you look at Wharton, Kellogg, HBS, booth etc. They all report salaries by years of experience ( or did).

Starting salaries at McKinsey, Bain and BCG this year are in the $130K base range for instance.

The trick is going to a prestigious program. [/quote]
