PBB percentages and amounts will be available on 7/29. Look for the percentages to be modest and dependent on rank, rating, and performance against quality gates. Anyone’s guess about percentages is just that - a guess. If you are making financial/life decisions based on PBB, you are probably setting yourself up for disappointment. We make great salaries in this profession and bonuses are intended to incentivize certain behaviors. Public accounting offers a challenging environment with low risk on the salary side. Other professions offer high risk and high reward where the salaries are low and bonuses are structured such that the majority of one’s compensation accumulates through the bonus in a windfall year. If that’s what you are looking for, change professions and don’t look back. Over the course of a lifelong career in public accounting, one can have a fantastic job and salary. There just are not that many windfall moments along the way. Instead, the salary accumulates over time and savings and purchasing power increase. My lens is 25+ years. I’m earning 25x what I earned when I began my career. My peers thought I was foolish for sticking around between years 10-15, but they all now see the wisdom in my decision. Try not to think too short term and good things can and will happen.

EY18 are you a partner speaking from experience or simply talking conjecture?

Only way being a partner isn’t worth it for the 300-400 is the artificial bull crap they are made to do to get there…. The current state of auditing there’s essentially no risk in signing an audit opinion as long as there wasn’t amazingly large amounts of negligence…

It’s not like you’re managing hedgefunds and getting a bonus. The PBB is nothing like that. If you’re going to leave anyway just go. It’s not worth losing a good offer.

Hah maybe HR is tryna save the firm some money by tricking you to leave.

Yes you need to be at the firm to receive the bonus.

Do you have the email response or chat screenshot from HR or is it thru verbal communication?

It was only verbal. I feel like they wouldn’t be able to give it in writing.
