Consulting giants offer six‑figure starting salaries to fresh grads

New college graduates in India can command lucrative entry‑level pay at top consulting firms. The MBB firms—Bain, BCG and McKinsey—offer base salaries exceeding $100,000, while Accenture and EY are close to that mark. PwC, KPMG and Deloitte provide slightly lower bases but add signing bonuses. This trend highlights the high demand for consulting talent and the competitive compensation packages firms use to attract it.
