What is the best way to estimate take home pay for a partner? Apologies if this is a duplicative question, but I did search. It seems very difficult to determine when taking into account the loan repayment of the buy in and other expenses (i.e., health insurance). I am comparing equity partnerships vs. MD positions in the short term.

Anyone know what the MD pension is like at Deloitte?

Partners / MDS - Have any of you stayed with the same firm from analyst to Partner/MD? If so, what made you stay despite probably receiving offers for more compensation? Also, what benefits are there to staying in consulting your entire career?

Manager here in Big4 consulting. I enjoy the people I work for, and have an amazing MD and the best flexibility. I should be promoted to SM shortly. I don’t really care for my job but I don’t want to switch jobs b/c my situation is the best it will get (increasing salary and amazing work life balance). My plan is to stay at my company for the next 5 years, save money, get the employer match, and pension with no aspirations of making MD. Just me, or anyone else feel the same?

I want to buy a house with a pool but my husband thinks it is not financially sound and will end up being a money pit since we live in a climate where we can't use it much outside of 3-4 month summer season. We live in the DC, MD, VA area. We have three kids under 10 years of age and I think the benefits for them outweigh the costs. Anyone own a home with a pool and regret it? Why or why not? Did it increase or decrease your home value? Did it make it harder or easier to sell?

I'm looking for a new healthcare related opportunity in the MD area (open to remote). I've seen a few roles, but noticed the lack of diversity amongst leadership at a few places. I also read some reviews that concerned me in that regard. Any suggestions? Where have you guys landed and do you like it?

Big 4 partners, can you provide any insights into the Partner v MD decision when you were up? Were you given the option? Can you share the pros v cons, especially from salary and pension standpoint.

What is an MD starting salary at the Big 4? And what is the pension like compared to partner’s pension? MD worth it?

Anyone here involved in life science/healthcare PE/VC? MD working in consulting, trying to figure out how to make the jump and if there are specific recruiters I should try to network with.

Hi fish, I have master degree in Public Health and a Bachelor of Medicine (oversea and MD equivalent), 1.5 YOE in consulting firm but not healthcare. Any opening now for entry level healthcare consulting? Really wanna go back to the healthcare industry.

Has anyone left US and moved to another country? What have you done with your 401k and other firm benefits(2nd MD, counseling etc.)

Is MD (Doctor of Medicine) pretty much useless if you don’t practice medicine? Are there any other fields where it is in demand like healthcare consulting, pharma etc?

Life / Career Advice: I applied to medical school since my MCAT score was set to expire, ended up getting into 1 program. I also have an opp to join a well funded/well established Healthtech Startup (6 figure salary w/ equity + benefits) as a BD professional. I enjoy the business side of things and am unsure if I would end up practicing Medicine (medicine is also a long arduous path). At the same time, having an MD holds a lot of clout/authority in HC. Any thoughts on what I should do?

I’m 20 weeks pregnant and just told my MD. Went great. I know I need to tell my team but am really worried they will judge me. It’s been a rough few weeks and I’m nervous they’ll say “well that makes sense she is pregnant”. I know it’s insecurity. But today someone said about a client “well she’s getting back from maternity leave she won’t really want to work” (woman said this btw). I know I shouldn’t care but I do. I am the lead.

Seeking referral to Microsoft for a healthcare position. Trained MD with healthcare strategy consulting experience. Please advise on how we can connect and really appreciate your help!

I’m not sure if I want to pursue being an MD or not. I was up for promotion two years ago and took myself out of the pool in order to ensure I could be home with my family. Now, I’m being encouraged to “go for it” again this year. What are the real benefits of being an MD? Is it really the pay increase? Undoubtedly I have much of the responsibility if not the accountability, and I am ok with that.

How does retirement work at your respective firms for Partners and MD’s? Is there a pension plan for you or a buyout plan? Also if you don’t mind sharing, I would love to understand roughly how significant your retirement plans are and how that drives or has driven career decisions.

Question: Theoretically, what kind of raise (percentage) or benefits would you need to leave a role where you have *relatively* good work, a good team and great work/life balance, with the consideration that money, location and family/personal affairs aren’t issues? My MD is pushing for me to get a 15% raise in my current role, but I know I’m worth at least 35% more than my current comp.

24, one year in with my firm and just no clue what to do with myself. I have some passion for the music industry in general, studied a lot concerning health & healthcare but not sold on a MD...just feeling stuck with indecisiveness on top of the current climate. Tips?

Hey folx! My SO is filing for unemployment benefits after being laid off due to covid. The issue here is that he lives in DC as of Nov 2019, filed his 2019 taxes in MD and his tech company was based in Los Angeles but he traveled all the time. He filed in DC and got denied since they couldn’t find the job he worked?? Not sure if he should provide his W-2 to DC or just file in MD instead. Any help is appreciated as he’s weeks behind on getting benefits.

A question for those in coverage teams at Bulge Brackets: Does your team have an MD/Director who specializes in M&A for that sector? ie, in a Healthcare team, an MD who only works on Healthcare M&A

Any insights on Accenture Managing Director comp/benefits vs. PwC partner? Especially considering that Accenture is not a partnership, so will have to keep shareholders fed as well.

My friend is getting her MD but thinking of going into healthcare consulting afterwards; what firms would be good for her to look into and what level/salary would she start at?

Do MD’s at PwC’s get a pension at retirement (I saw a post from some ED at EY talking about a pension)? Or does the firm just give contribute to the RBAP - and the MD needs to figure out the rest ?

For Deloitte and PWC peeps, do MDs have a different pension program like partners do? Does any have insight into the MD pensions and how different is it compared to partners pensions.
