Tier 1 obviously, if you want to live the good life. You’ll be able to live in a nice apartment, drive a German car, wear nice watches, take foreign holidays. Equity partner level deals with ministers, and titans of industry. You’ll be in the room when global M&A deals are negotiated, parties at 5 star hotels regularly.

UPSC was great till liberalisation, now consultants run the show at the centre and state levels. All this for some 10LPA salary for decades. Your social life will revolve around small town sensibilities in Jabalpur or Ranchi or some such.
OP please stop smoking stuff, UPSC is great it give various avenue to develop and then when it comes to salary there are various benefits, housing, guards, free assistance by house help, various assistance at office, great respect in term of society, people( if you do good work). ▮▮▮
