Asked about his profession by the Salary Scale interviewer, the man replied: “I work as a management consultant.”
He added that he has eight to nine years of work experience in total. “In India, salaries for management consultants are very standard. So across the top three firms, a person like me – so I’m like a senior manager – someone like that can expect making ₹80,000 to ₹1.2 crore per annum,” he revealed.
The interviewer described that as “a crazy amount of money as per Indian standards.”
The management consultant added that the figure can go up depending on the performance bonus. He said he is “obviously very happy” with the salary he receives and it motivates him to do his best. The Delhi resident also explained that recruitment is typically done through campus placements.
