Fellow SM or directors, what would you do. 10 Years all with PwC. Got an offer for direct admit into a smaller firm. Was told for new partners the first few years will be around $330k. Not significantly more than what I make now after bonuses. What you you do?

You make 330k at PwC as Director?

likehelpful

330k is not high for directors. My base more then 330k plus bonus and with tier 1 rating it gets close to 90 -100k of bonus. My best year was 445k base plus bonus.

On thing to consider is the status of the smaller firm and the trend of PE deals and mergers among the smaller firms. Not sure which firm you are thinking about for the move but I would want to try to understand that aspect before I made the jump. You could potentially go back to being salaried and the equity sharing upside is gone.

What’s the ramp up period and potential income growth?

But will you share in any growth for the overall firm and your specific book. Play out the worst case scenario (growth and your book don’t happen), best case (you build a book) and something in between that becomes projections.

You want to understand how profits are shared between partners, clear expectations on what’s expected of you in year 1,3, and 5, and if you’ll receive the support in achieving goals.

Cool opportunity!

Will certainly be different. I know each firm is different but be prepared to lead in a more sales-generation type role at a smaller firm.

I did something similar and it worked great for me. Cash comp went so much higher within 2 years. My personality style is a relationship builder so bringing work to the firm is very natural. Others have struggled coming from an environment where they were technically excellent, but relied mainly on brand name and the firm to bring the work to them.

Best of luck!

The firm is looking to expand their clientele in a certain industry, which is my area. I would need to buildup the book of business. They currently have a few clients, which I will take on. Alot of risks in building this up, but worth it? Growth could be good...

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.
