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.

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

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

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

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon
