Is it worth it to try to negotiate with my current firm tor a counter offer? Somehow my coach, Talent manager, and comp partner all disappeared/MIA when I tried to reach out this week? 🙄😅 The deadline for offer is Sunday

If I’m 100% sure big law isn’t for me (i.e. don’t want to be partner), is it stupid of me not to take a signing bonus to lateral to another firm?

I’m a rising 3rd year and can probably stick it out 1-2 more years max.

Received two offers 1) Deloitte Specialist Leader C&M North America and 2) IBM Associate Partner IBM Consulting North America. Which one would you rate higher and why? Compensation comparable in both. TIA

Received an offer from a similar practice at another Big 4, including promo. Who do I speak to at EY to see if they’ll match salary/bonus and some promise of making agile promo? Counselor? CCL Partner? HR? Head of my (small) practice? Partner I work with most closely?

Can anyone help?

Does anyone know what a fair ratio is for the amount of money you bring into a company VS the amount you should be paid (i.e. salary + commission)?

I work for an IT partner / Tech company, and from outbound cold market selling have added over 40 companies to our books, which over the last two years has generated €850,000 revenue, and will likely be in excess of €5 million in the coming years.

What do you think I should be earning?

How did you set your rent budget when moving in with a partner? I make £125k base (£167k inc bonus), and my boyfriend makes £95k base (£105k inc bonus). I’m used to allocating 30% of my take-home pay to rent, which is about £1800/mo for a charming neighbourhood in zone 1, but my bf’s used to paying closer to £1000/mo to live in zone 6 and balks at the rent prices I think are reasonable given our incomes and locations we want (zone 2). We both wfh so ideally want a 3BR. (Continued in comments)

How did you set your rent budget when moving in with a partner? I make $170k base ($225k inc bonus), and my boyfriend makes $125k base ($140k inc bonus). I’m used to allocating 30% of my take-home pay to rent, which is about $2400/mo for a central, nice neighbourhood, but my bf’s used to paying closer to $1300/mo to live in an outer suburb and balks at the rent prices I think are reasonable given our incomes. We live in a very HCOL city and both wfh so ideally want a 3BR (Continued in comments)

I’m up for partner next year at my Am Law 85-100 firm, where I’m quite happy, other than with respect to comp. With this market paying what it’s paying, I’m getting a lot of interest in other firms. Two Am Law top 20 firms have shown serious interest. I would get market pay, work the same number of hours as current, but partnership is several years away. What’s the right move here? Compensation and supporting my family are top factors.

I've been working in this new law firm for a couple of months and I've been approached by a former client for which I was working for in my old firm. He was basically asking for a fee quote (nothing crazy). We have a meeting planned with that potential client.
My question now is, what type of compensation should I ask to my Partner for (potentially) bringing a client? What amount would be reasonable to ask?
I'm a junior lawyer (in the EU).

Hi Everyone,
Plz help me out.. I have an offer at Accenture strategy with 29 LPA fixed, with position as Management Consultant. My partner at EY has offered Manager position in the next cycle with good increment and bonus. What should I do??

My partner is always busy doing something with his kids or wife, I end up doing everything in the ‘selling phase’ because multiple times a week there’s a dentist appointment or school thing that he’s at for half the day, then he’s unavailable after 5:00 every day. He doesn’t really do anything until an idea is sold and he has to comp. This has been going on since we were paired up. What’s a nice way to say ‘your family isn’t an excuse to pin all this work on me’?

I just spoke with a KPMG HR person who told me the bonus target for directors is 15%? Is that really true for all directors? What is principal comp like and how hard is it to become an equity partner?

How much does Partner compensation vary across firms and how distinctive is the PwC pension? I’ve heard a big range for comp, from $400k - $1.2M. All I’ve heard about the pension is it takes 10 years as a PwC Partner. New SM trying to think many years ahead!

For those in consulting: do you have an equal path to partnership? Is your partner role the same (comp especially) as general consulting?

Any info on how partner comp at Grant Thornton compares to Big 4?

I have a follow up meeting with a Partner from Guidehouse- in case compensation comes up what salary range should I say I'm looking for? For context- I have a little over two years of experience on various Federal Government IT projects and the interview is for a Consultant level role.

Hi,
Any tips for Cross Google Partner Manager interview? Also, can someone comment on expected compensation range?

Does anyone here have any guidance or experience in moving from big pharma to VC-backed biotech/ med-tech/ next gen healthcare companies on the west coast? TIA
Former consultant with 3+ YOE at 2 big pharma after my consulting stint.
Now I am looking for something more exciting, with more ownership, more nimble and of course the equity upside. (Ps If you don’t have anything valuable to add, it is better to hold off on your opinion)
Comp does not matter, due to my partner’s high income.

Question about mentorship: in formal mentorship relationships (for ex. Where your mentor is a partner you work for and there is no personal friendship or friendliness), how often would you expect to meet/ talk to your mentor? And what kind of issues do you think should be discussed or not discussed? For ex. If I’m facing a particular issue while working with another member of our team, or I think my bonus needs to be extra good this year, are those topics that would be appropriate to discuss?

Hey! Have been interviewing for Partner at IBM - they came back with Associate Partner but at the lowest band of Partner comp. What should I do?

Had a really weird interview with RSM recently that’s been bothering me. For my last interview, I spoke to the partner. Towards the end of the interview, he asked me my salary range. I gave him my range based on my conversations with the recruiter and my understanding of the role. He basically responded saying that the recruiter must have been looking at the high end of the range and asked me what my personal expectations were. Con’t…

What's partner comp at Gordon Rees?

Anyone migrate with a partner/practice group to a new firm? Is it usually a standard interview process? Opportunity for signing bonus?

Anyone notice how the odds of making partner and lifetime partner comp are about the same as the squid game!

How do you get your client to hire you? I know technically they aren't supposed to poach you... But if they're looking for someone to fill a role you're super qualified for and willing to double your salary... How do you subtly imply to them that they should talk to the partner so they can poach you 😂

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?

Does anyone know how it works if you refer a potential audit client based on your personal network and the firm wins the audit? As a non partner, being in a non-audit group within the firm? Is there any kind of referral bonus or are you just building reputation and goodwill by doing this?
