Accenture and other ex-big five linked consulting firms, offer considerably less compensation compared to top tiered Mckinsey/BCG.

Hmmm, 3000 USD a month seems low? Is this for Malaysia?

I haven't looked at recent numbers, but in 2000 when I started in IB a lot of my peers in consulting were earning similar base salaries ~55-60K USD in Singapore. The primary difference in compensation was in the bonus , where consultants get very little in comparison.

The key difference between a McKinsey analyst and an Accenture in terms of compensation is the fact McKinsey kept their global USD packages for first year analysts, while an Accenture analyst would be on a very small local package.

I found some 2012 numbers....

I am sure lots of people had pitiful bonuses the last couple of years, but I do expect huge bonuses will likely come back the next banner year. As for this year I don't know, JPM and GS posted good numbers, MS less so.

Having said that in IB 1-3 year analysts and 1-2 year associates usually had a fixed and guaranteed bonus, whereas I think consultants were around 1-3 months?
