Seems like EY would have an exodus of employees post-split. We will get randomly assigned to assureCo vs newCo by leadership and expecting many people going to assureCo will try to flee to other B4 especially for senior and lower level.

What are typical hourly billable rates from big 4 for external audit services by role? New York or California.

If the average pay for Big 4 partners (I’m in regional firm) is 1.3 million annually, why do I see Big 4 partners living in such modest houses. I am having a hard time believing that Big 4 partners really make that much.

Ok, maybe this has been done before, but I want to get a real life sense of the difference between EPLI and Private L&E (management side) practices. Let's do a poll:

1.) Primary source of business: EPLI or Private Companies?

2.) Number of matters you are currently working on

3.) Average billable rate (your year)

4.) Normal working hours/wk

5.) Percentages: Litigation vs Counseling

6.) Type of firm: ID, Big 4, Boutique, BigLaw, etc.

I'll kick things off in comments.

Hello, folks! I wonder if you have any advice/info for a person who is looking for an "investment associate" role in Dubai. I have a financial audit background (4 years Big-4), 1,5 year in deal advisory (half year financial due diligence department, 1 year valuation department). I have experience in TMT, retail, Energy and Utility and other industries. Currently I'm living in Eastern Europe.
What is considered to be normal in relation to WBL, compensations in Dubai for such role or similar?
