Can anyone comment on the life/structure/size for Oliver Wyman's North America CMT practice? I'm perusing the individual practice pages, and it looks like there may only be a handful of partners (like two to four total) in each of the sub-practices in this group. OW is a big firm though, are they just that concentrated in international and/or financial services; and that's why NA CMT has a small partner count? Or did another firm poach everyone? What are the implications for juniors in NA CMT?

When PTO is paid out during a exit from a company, do they take pre-tax deductions for insurance and dental etc? It has already taken from that months salary. Why is it being taken twice?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
