Hello!

Congrats! I guess this means you have the offer in the hand.

I am surprised that you even have this conversation, since most of the times salary is standard and fixed.

Can you clarify your tenure?

Cheers,

Clara

Hi, congrats on the offer! I confirm the salary is fixed and there will be some bonuses depending on the role and the office

Hey there,

McKinsey salaries (esp at lower levels of the hierarchy) are fixed. Your previous salary has no impact and won't be a topic of discussion during the interview.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Hi,

First of all, McKinsey salaries are not negotiable. Secondly, they will not ask about your current salary, don't worry

Hi there,

The salaries in McKinsey are fixed, so no need to worry about it!

Good luck for your interview!

McKinsey has a standard salary structure for all roles (with minor exceptions for back office roles) for every office. You do not need to worry about negotiating salary.

Hi A,

first of all, congrats on gettin the interview!

I agree with the other coaches: McKinsey salaries in the consulting space are definitely fixed (+ there is a variable bonus component, which you cannot negotiate either).
Also, I have not heard of anyone being asked about their current salary.

Hope this helps. Cheers,

Hi there,

You won't be able to negotiate on salary and it's fixed (i.e. they won't ask you for your current pay). In terms of negotiating, you can try to get a better signing bonus...I doubled mine so happy to talk through what to do here!

Agree with the other posts. Salaries are fixed and there is no room to negotiate. If you're an experienced hire and joining at a more senior tenure, there might be room to negotiate a sign-on bonus.

Is this an entry-level role? If so, compensation is fixed and consistent across all firms
