Unfortunately (or in some cases fortunately) you rarely pay a person what they are "worth", you pay them what the job is "worth". Entry level analyst consultant whether from Boston University or London School of Economics is going to be paid essentially the same - basically - all other variables set aside.
According to Bloomberg, McKinsey is the same consulting company which advised Allstate that, here's the passage in the Bloombergu article: ---------------------- "One slide McKinsey prepared for Allstate was entitled ``Good Hands or Boxing Gloves,'' the tape of the Kentucky court hearing shows. For 57 years, Allstate has advertised its employees as the ``Good Hands People,'' telling customers they will be well cared for in times of need. The McKinsey slides had a new twist on that slogan. When a policyholder files a claim, first make a low offer, McKinsey advised Allstate. If a client accepts the low amount, Allstate should treat the person with good hands, McKinsey said. If the customer protests or hires a lawyer, Allstate should fight back.
