12 total= 6 Partners/Principles & 6 Managing Directors-4 are heavy users but since the travel ban its been quieter...I am ok w my pay and just grateful to still have a job

like

6 total. 2 EVPs , 2 SVPs and 2 VPs. I like having a lot of people to support because it gives me a sense of better job security. Especially in these times.

like

I’ve always been a firm believer of this!!

11 - 1 Director, 5 MDs, 5 Partners/principals. Still not 100% utilized.

like

It was 7 but one left recently so 6 - 3 partners, 2 directors and 1 MD. I wish I was compensated more, as I'm sure we all wish, but right now, I am thankful to have a job.

like

1 senior partner, 4 partners, 2 svps that aren't partners plus some mid level staff, which hovers around 18-22 people depending on staffing. Calendar management for partners and senior partner.

I used to make way less at my last place, so I was super excited about the increase, but there are definitely times where I feel under valued.

That is insane!

8 partners /principals

I’m happy with the pay , 4 of those are heavy users and international travelers , 2 use me frequently for other admin document support and 2 are practically ghosts .

I support only two partners, but one takes up majority of my time. He is lead consulting partner for a platinum account. I get paid very well to support my two and am happy. I would always welcome the opportunity for more pay though.

Two MDPs (Managing Directors and Partners), sometimes three temporarily if we’re short-staffed. It gets busy, but definitely manageable. Pay isn’t bad, but can be more.

We just switched to a 1 to 8 ratio and only partners and managing directors get admin support. I am hearing that it really depends on how needy they are.

4 partners and some support to the wider team. Pretty standard for our location. Most support 3-4, some support 5. And some support 1-2 only for the high users.

I have 6 partners with 5 heavy users

10 - 8 principals, 2 directors

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
