I'm wondering if I'd be held back at HBS/GSB for "low" pay that might indicate that I haven't had phenomenal impact.


At an F100, started as an intern @ $17 an hour (extrapolates to ~40k a year) while in school... at this point I'm pulling just under 70 base with about 7-10k bonus and around 15k perks (401k + pension + tuition assistance) for a 40ish hour week with OT paid if I go over (just the culture here). I passed up a promotion/opportunity to job hop by doing an MS part time (would've expected around 90k base + bonus). I've had two admittedly minor title changes (Analyst/Intern -> Sr. Analyst -> Lead Coordinator).

Thanks for sharing.

Your salary figures is not likely to be a red flag. Applicants would do well to show how responsibilities have grown, showing leadership/teamwork abilities, along with scale of achievements or skills gained.

Wish you all the best!

Hi,
Your pay is a combination of multiple factors - achievement and promotion being few of those factors as well as career choices.
The fact that you have had promotions will hold you in nice stead - I am quite confident that, with the right focus, you would be able to get the adcom's attention and demonstrate progression.
Hope this helps,
