Be smart, have credentials, have some work experience that's relevant, intern your way in. I work with a number of dudes straight out of college and I think they're happy with it. They aren't really responsible for anything important and just do grunt work no one wants to do. They make 45k -- this is public sector (government) consulting. Private sector pays more but I think you work and travel more

If you make less you get taxed less. Not sure what their take home pay is but it's enough to live in D.C. With roommates. Not saving or paying off debt but in a few years they'll be making more

That depends on a lot. I assume you're not talking about MBB

For Booz Allen and big 4 consulting shops it's more regemented progression. If you put in a few years at one of those shops and transfer over to a small shop you can increase your salary more quickly. I'd probably say someone with 5 years experience but no masters would be making 75-85k or so. I think after that you'll probably hit a ceiling because without a masters or MBA youre not going to get to a senior consultant/manager level. They also care about BS certifications like PMP and lean six sigma in this industry so that can help you get more $.

I think I poasted a bullish salaary projection here a while ago that I found on a great thread but a public sector consultant on Wall Street oasis

You must be joking about "being smart" and "having credentials". It's a job for 120IQs with my masters in philosophy

I'm talking about how he should market himself in the interview process. Consulting shops love the "jack of all trades" "don't know how to do that but I'll learn it overnight" kind of attitude. Of course the job isn't that hard after you get the basics.

My basic responsibilities of my job are mainly administrative and support for clients and I'm mid level. You have to be flexible and just do what you're told/instructed... it's a service industry

Welcome to the white collar service industry.

Lawyers are fretting over commas to create billable hours. Consultants are making PowerPoints and excel tracker documents to create billable hours. We will have to be hyper responsive to anything our clients want for a number of reasons, but chiefly because it creates more billable hours
