Hi there,

I don't have the exact pay for Riyadh McK BA pay, however I do know that Bain Dubai pays around $85k. MBB and the ME are normally comparable in pay so I would be surprised if McK Riyadh was outside the $80k-$90k range.

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation by McKinsey!

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

Generally speaking, I would highly advise you to get in touch with employees of McKinsey Riyadh, politely ask them for a coffee chat and properly time your compensation question in there. This way, you will get a lot of useful information for your upcoming interviews either way. They are also most probably the only people who are able to tell you for sure.
Still, compensation normally is around $80-90k in Riyadh for undergrads and Master's student.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best network with employees of your potential future employer, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Pay in Dubai is around USD 75K base and USD 5-10K bonus. In the first year you also get a signing + relocation bonus of around USD 10K. So In Dubai, TC for year 1 is approx. USD 85K.

Pay in Riyadh is around USD 85K base and USD 6-12K bonus. The signing + relocation is same as Dubai. So in Riyadh, TC for year 1 is approx. USD 100K.

Note: these numbers are for Bain & Company, but McKinsey's pay should be similar. Also, McKinsey has stopped hiring for Dubai, not sure if this would affect above numbers.

Good luck!
