Anyone ever successfully negotiate their partner cash distributions? I’m a very new partner, yet running and growing a book far greater than average size for the firm. Am I stuck in the basic new partner comp structure for~ 5 years or is it reasonable to expect I’ll get compensated for my contributions today? I’m tired of chasing carrots; what’s a reasonable/ “fair” % of my book to expect allocated to me each year? Is 20% asking too much? I’m tax at a top 6 firm.

Being at a larger firm, I doubt you can do much to change that. While you are a partner, you don’t have that much control and influence early on. Also, generally your comment will grow at a higher rate than your growth the farther you go. So your comp may continue to grow at 15-20% while your book is growing at say 15%. You eventually get ahead, but just like making partner is delayed gratification, so is comp in comparison to your contribution.

I expect all firms are different but I assume you understood the structure when you joined. Part of being a new partner is having the space and infrastructure to be able to grow your business.

And sometimes you are in a hot space and sometimes your are not. I do not want my comp to swing widely based on routine business cycles.

Probably can’t do much. Just like NFL new draft picks that excel get “small” but veterans get more on an average basis despite the work they do

You should expect more than 20% of your book at some point assuming you are not in an administrative partner role. Making partner is part of your professional journey, not your destination.

Hey Everyone,

I will be joining EY GDS in August 2021. There's a pay component "Advanced Statutory Bonus" of around 26k per annum. Any idea what this is? Is it truly fixed or will depend on firm's performance?

Thanks!
