Starting Consulting Pay: Bachelor's Degree Holders

Strategy& offers the highest pay, with a $90,000 upfront base pay. However, McKinsey, BCG, and Booz Allen offers the best pay to top out when performance bonus is factored into the equation. Deloitte also offers the highest signing bonus according to ManagementConsulted data.

Performance bonus represents the pay ceiling. Generally, only 5%-10% of consultants at a firm make this level of bonus.
