Wow. By the powers vested in my by nobody, i hereby declare PwC as officially being at the bottom of our big 4 stack. EY suddenly looks a whole lot better. I almost joined PwC a few years ago. Thanks dog to the kind partner who counseled me to stay.

I understand how this can be demotivating. Without knowing current salary and years as mgr though it is difficult to say how much you are getting worked over. At some point any job has a max it can pay and raises only come via inflation driven band adjustments. It's clear since they rolled out cohorts this situation is expected - drives up or out if you want pay increases. In theory it can be fair if cohort is banded to market pay and bonus is reflective of performance for year - not convinced we have these right yet though

No one makes that OP, that's the jump from M to D. From the sounds of your message, you may have screwed yourself by not going up this year. You sound like a shoe in for next year. Leaving now would seem like a waste of years of building your network here. Have another good year and make Director. Chin up 😁 positive thoughts

OP - correct. In your group you'll make 185 as a D1. You are capped right around 160 as a M. In between that range you'll have diff geos, diff groups with slight diff bands, and purely for an equivalent local/group perspective experienced hire Ms who came in pre cohort that were overpaid to get in the door (a practice which supposedly stops with cohort)

What's your current pay at? And what about bonus?

Unbelievable.... waiting for the same people who are drinking the koolaid in other very similar posts to defend why this happen. Sorry OP

Yes top of cohort band but stayed the same band from last year.

But you got the max bonus right?

Please tell me you got a nice bonus tho

So demotivating, sorry OP

Happened to me last year too, top rating and no raise since I was at top of Salary band. 😤
