[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a top 5 (Ivy League) business school.  Hugely worth it for me coming out of a liberal arts undergrad with 2 years of work experience.  Have been in consulting my whole career, now on my own.  Have been earning in the mid 6 figures the last decade.  Currently work less than full time, have tons of flexbility, and still in that earnings range.  Some/many of my classmates have done way better of course - but most ended up in NY post graduation and that wasn't a path I wanted to take.  I don't regret the MBA for even a minute, and I paid for the degree myself.

Mid 6 as in 500,000? That's solid...[/quote]

I would love to know what kind of consulting pays that much.  A lot of finance and accounting consultants are lucky yo make $150k.[/quote]

Big name strategy consulting for sure-

Bain
BCG
McKinsey

Or even the mid-tier can pay like that-

Deloitte
Prophet
PRTM
Charles River Associates
etc

Just for example:

First year Bain consultant (post MBA associate level) will make $130K base + bonus, which will be north of $150 already. Plus sign on bonus of about $40K. 
A Manager (cast team leader) at Bain (or McKinsey or BCG) will make $240 to $270 on average. Hitting $300K+ just means you are management... even at the A "principal" at CRA or Prophet is in the $250 to $300K range....

Bottom line, consulting pays well, if you dont mind the travel, Russian roulette projects, and clients that generally like working you to death.
