Consulting continues to be a dream job for many. Despite the fact that it's regarded as being demanding, the glamor, stature, and benefits linked to the position make it one of the most sought-after career options. One of the biggest drivers for this trend is that roles like Management Consulting offer exposure across a diverse set of industries - Consulting firms work with corporates, state and central governments, international governments, and even other Consulting firms! But perhaps an even bigger driver is the  Consultant Salary at the end of every month. So we know that the Consulting roles are some of the highest paid professionals in the corporate world, depending on their firm of employment as well as, to a certain extent, their respective alma maters. But what is the actual Consulting salary figure? What does the average Indian Management Consultant earn in a year? How much do Consultants earn in the US and the UK? Which firms are the best pay masters when it comes to Management Consulting roles? The five tables below provide answers to these questions and answer the biggest question of them all - what does a Consultant make in a year?
