This is all fine. Just remember: you can´t buy bottles with Starwood hotel points morons. If you are in consulting, you were not good enough for banking

Talk about retardation. I've interned at both a top bank (GS/MS) and one of the MBB's, and I can tell you the quality of people is similar.
True, you can't buy bottles with Starwood points, but at least you'll have a job. The days of the 130k+ first year banking salaries are over, at least for the next few years.
You also can't buy bottles
You also can't buy bottles if you're in the office until 2 a.m. every Friday and Saturday.
And you can't buy bottles with SPG points... but you may be able to expense them :-P

man everyone's is crazy high...i guess with MBB or the like they would be. As such im just happy to have just received an offer at a firm that i like doing what i like:
non MBB (west coast corpfin consulting)
58 base
3 signing
5-10 performance
66-71K total first year
Does McKinsey not do
Does McKinsey not do bonuses?
They do, 5-15K for 1st
They do, 5-15K for 1st years.
Though I've heard its pretty much just 10
1st years are 62K base, 5K signup, +10 K bonus = ~ 75K all in
Not bad for 60-65 hours a week and no risk
The higher ranked, the poorer the salary...
What i've heard is that the more prestigious the company, the less it pays, is it true ?

@big_unit Thanks for the
@big_unit Thanks for the bonus info. I'm 95% sure base is 65k though (at least in the cities my friends got offers in).
Ringtailuredlemur, that
Ringtailuredlemur, that sounds about right, I guess the 3K variation might be on a firm-by-firm basis and might be broken out as a relocation stipend or something of the sort for other firms.
Also, its my belief that bonus variation is lower in consulting (as in, 10K is very standard)
If any other former consultants want to weigh in, please let me know (I was in an MBB satellite office which is where I got my info from)
satellite = non Boston?

May just be a timing thing -
May just be a timing thing - I think the move to $65k happened fairly recently.

You are good enough to shine my shoes in an airport right now banker noob.
Whats the difference between a large pan pizza from dominoes and a banker? The pizza can feed a family of four.
The sell side is actually gone right now. Good luck keeping that attitude in a year. Get back to excel.
