Yu asked on Sep 24, 2022
Hi, looking for case partners also targeting post-MBA positions for MBB

Hi, can anyone share the compensation estimates for MBB consulting post-MBA entry roles for South East Asia regions, in particular Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Manila?

I am a Japanese currently enrolled in a target MBA school, and looking to apply to offices outside Japan, preferably SEA. I would like to know how the compensation levels differ to Tokyo offices. Singapore offices would be the most desired in SEA, but I understand there are VISA issues and MBB does not sponsor.

Thank you very much in advance!

I want to be notified about updates regarding this question via email

Hey, 

Estimates on glassdoor are in the range for a post-MBA hire. I was from the Bain SEA office (Singapore / Thailand) and part of the final round interviewing process. 

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

Hi there, 

Your best bet to get the most accurate estimates is to check on Glassdoor. Also check on the blog section of PrepLounge - there are a couple of articles that cover compensation topics. 

Best,
Cristian

I've found glassdoor to be quite accurate for salary data for standard roles at MBB (e.g., Generalist Associate)

As long as you have a few answers on glassdoor, it is usually accurate. Particularly if you look into the three firms in each location (compensation tends to be aligned between them).

Hi - Just check Glassdoor. From my SEA experience, this gives a good indication.
