US COMPENSATION
Published consulting salary figures with the role, location and pay component attached. Start with the level you are applying for.
Recurring annual pay before tax. A posted range is not a prediction of your offer, and its midpoint is not an average salary.
A one-time amount. Check when it is paid, whether it is prorated and the conditions for repayment if you leave.
Keep target, maximum and guaranteed amounts separate. A discretionary bonus may be lower than the number quoted in a salary report.

KPMG
Early career · New York City
Summer/Fall 2027; UTA Advisory Fulltime Category 2

No disclosed roles match both filters. Try all levels or all firms.
We leave a gap when a current, appropriately scoped figure cannot be verified. An expired listing can still be useful context, but it is labelled as a past recruiting cycle.
Compare the same start date and period. Record recurring base, one-time payments and variable pay separately; then compare role scope, location, travel and development opportunities. Do not add the maximum bonus to base and call it guaranteed pay.
Each entry links to its underlying employer disclosure, including clearly labelled university-hosted listings. Job pages change and may close after our check date. Our ten-firm directory is a shortlist, not a compensation ranking.
