BCG Vietnam (SEA) Salary Progression

Hi, I just receive an offer to start at BCG Vietnam as an BA. I know about the BA salary. But can someone give me advice on the Associate and Senior Associate level. Just to see what is the difference and compare that to Bain/McKinsey. Is that large?

 

P/s: I’m in Vietnam it would be great if u know exactly but otherwise i guest SEA kind of the same

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the offer from BCG!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, associate-level compensation seems to be almost double the business analyst-level one.
  • Moreover, however, I would advise you to focus less on compensation development and more on fit and learning opportunities at your future employer.

You can find more on this topic here: Salaries in the consulting industry.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

In most geographies, based on salaries reported online and also by candidates on the platform, you can expect the Associate compensation to be almost double to that of BA. 

Check online for other sources, and there are also several articles published here on PrepLounge about salary ranges in consulting.

And congrats on receiving the offer!

Hi,

Salaries in SEA are not the same across countries.. it is adjusted for cost of living.

I used to work in SEA. Feel free to drop me a DM and we can chat more.
