Base salary from 198 certified Department of Labor filings in the FY2026 Q3 disclosure release, covering decisions to 30 June 2026.

What these figures include
Base salary is the fixed annual wage, and it is the only component in the Department of Labor data. Signing bonus is paid once on joining and is not in any public dataset. Performance bonus is paid against a review cycle, is the largest single gap between consulting and banking pay, and is also not public.
So the number at the top of this page is a floor on what the role pays, not an estimate of total compensation. Treating it as total compensation will understate a Engagement Manager at Boston Consulting Group by a wide margin, and by more in banking than in consulting.

Method, and what this misses
These figures come from H-1B Labor Condition Application disclosure data published quarterly by the US Department of Labor. A filing is a certified wage an employer stated it would pay for a named role at a named worksite. It is not a survey response, not a self-reported number, and not a record of a hire: a certified filing does not prove the position was filled.
Three limits matter. The data covers base salary only, which is roughly 70% of total compensation in consulting and 55% or less in banking, and the gap widens with seniority. It covers US worksites only. And it covers only roles a firm sponsored, so the role mix is skewed toward positions firms sponsor visas for. The Department of Labor itself warns the files contain data-entry errors.
One US entity. Technology and data titles are excluded. 66.0% of that entity's filings map to a role published here. Everything unmapped is held back rather than guessed at. Percentiles are computed over 2,922,613 unique filings after deduplicating on case number, because the archived quarterly files partially restate each other. No cell is published below 5 filings.
