Salaries at OW in Riyadh

Question

Hi guys,

I'm currently applying to OW in KSA and was wondering what was the average salary for an experienced (Sr) Consultant with a 4 years experience in a management consulting firm.

We're talking about implementation here rather than pure strategy.

Also, if you have any tips for the interview, I'm all ears.

Thanks for your inputs.

Hi Ahmed,

Management consulted tends to keep good track of this. In general, implementation pays ~20% less than strategy at the consultant level.

Answer 3

Ahmed,

100-130k.

But do google it and make a gross average from all of this.

In the end, you should at least get a directional idea of what the right number is.
