Been trying to lateral from PwC Deals Adv to IB and it’s been very difficult. Have the experience and technical skills, just not the banking background firms want to see. Anybody in IB willing to connect and share their experience?

Not in IB myself although trying to make a similar lateral. Have you looked into PwC’s IB? I think it is called PwC Corporate Finance LLC. I know KPMG’s IB won’t take employees from their deals practice but another friend at a different B4 leveraged a non-IB offer to get into the IB at that B4

Yeah, not a bad option but different than IB from what I gathered working with those teams. Still has a consulting dynamic, bit of a different deal process, and the services are narrowed and don’t include things like capital raising, coverage, DCM / ECM, fairness opinions, etc. Could be missing something but that’s how I saw it

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
