They make great money, but that is not a reasonable field for people without prior connections and family money.

That sounds so high. Is this fake?

Management Consulting Salary – 2020 Guide - CaseInterview.com
Jan 9, 2020 — Most mid-tier consulting firms pay a salary between $65,000-$70,000 for entry-level financial consultants. Senior financial consultants at these firms earn a salary of $112,000-$120,000. In the top three consulting firms, you can expect to earn $80,000 as an entry level salary, and $149,500 as a project manager salary.


You’ve quoted more junior level roles. My husband is higher titled than a project manager and has been doing this since he graduated, at the same MBB.


How are you making 150 doing HR?

31, $130k, International Business Growth Advisor for a foreign government. BA in Communications, MS in Ag Comm, spent the past 6 years working for the largest independent ag software acquirer in the world. I actually took a pay cut for this govt job (used to be $150k), but I would have paid $20k to have the stress level and lifestyle I do now.
