[Audio] The field of consulting offers endless career opportunities for MBA graduates. With a degree from a top global institution and the chance to work in a prestigious industry, it's no surprise that consulting is a popular path for many MBA graduates. On top of the prestige, consulting firms offer highly competitive compensation and benefits, with starting salaries ranging from $165K to $192K and various bonuses and perks. But it's not just about the money. Consulting also provides a fast track to leadership positions. With the opportunity to quickly move up the ladder and gain valuable skills and experience, MBA graduates can excel in the consulting industry. The work itself is challenging and dynamic, allowing for rapid personal and professional growth. And when it's time to move on from consulting, there are numerous opportunities in other sectors, as the skills and networking gained in this field are highly sought after. So, instead of asking "why choose consulting after an MBA," it's more fitting to ask "why not?".

[Audio] MBA students in today's competitive job market are constantly seeking opportunities to break into elite consulting. One of the most attractive aspects of this industry is the potential for high salaries. This presentation will unveil the average base salaries and bonuses for consulting at top firms in the industry. These numbers are subject to change based on factors such as job performance and location. First on the list is McKinsey, with an average base salary of $165000 and a bonus of $35000.
