Starting partner "salary" across lines of service is 350k. Echo ey4 that every first year partner will tell you they made less first year than last year at director because of all their new expenses (healthcare, buying in, taxes in every state, etc.)

It very much depends on your specialization and client/delivery capability. MBA or not you're likely at SM in Advisory a minimum of five years. Almost all new EY PP promotes make the same thing 400k less healthcare, taxes, equity buy in, etc. After three years (buy in completed), you're eligible for partner distributions based on performance (firm and personal). Assuming you meet your numbers each year and drive the market, you are looking at high six figures maybe low 7s after 10 years as partner.

On average advisory partners first couple of years will actually be making less than their sen mgr salary, no way they start anywhere near 650k try 250-300k minus pay back

Clearly a lot of people have no idea. 8-10 years, $1M is about average. McK1, what's the MBB rundown?

650 seems low for average partner comp. we start as senior associate from Mba. 3 senior. 3 Manager. Director 3-5+?

First year out of MBA is a second year senior associate for us. Can make partner in 8-10 years. First year partners make roughly half a million but it can go up very quickly.

like

^he said post MBA. So you'd start at senior associate

like

12-14 years (3 at senior, 4 to 5 at manager, 5 to 6 at senior manager) for post-MBA. I've heard $650k is avg. "starting salary" for partners in Advisory. I don't believe that is total compensation

like

For MBA hires at EY, which will be nearly identical to the other firms, it'll take between 8-12 years(could be longer). The pay stated above is probably accurate, but EY does have a very generous partner's defined benefit plan that is definitely the best of the big 4 which helps compensate for the salary differential.

Yeah 13 years was nothing for audit partners that age. Nowadays that would be very fast for audit but for bomo's age group that was nothing

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Been in Sales for 12years, done it all from transactional to complex, from 10k to 650M and from local to global, and 2 weeks to 24 months Sales Cycles - now aiming to move into a management role within the next two years, ideally mid sized business, build and execute a strategy for growth, shape a vision and drive the overall success on a more strategic level.
