Management Consultant 1 · Answer

Underpaid for sure. Especially if you’re a good analyst. How is your data analytics skills? SQL, R, Python etc. If they’re good, apply aggressively with a salary target of $110k with room to negotiate it down to $100k. Alternatively, if you’re work life balance is good. Build a freelance business on FIVR. The cache you built in fivr could actually set you up much better off than chasing the corporate ladder, and give you room to learn new skills.

Deloitte 4 · Answer

I mean….you make so much money for the rest of the country and that’s a fantastic place to start. But you’re in the consulting bowl bubble which means those numbers are basically poverty. Can you even afford a 10k watch that sits in your closet display case?
