For audit - How’s your firm’s data and cognitive technologies? Which tools/capabilities are you actually using in practice? And what capabilities are just hype right now?

I think what you find in practice is that few companies are willing to hand over all their data to a third party without lawyers being involved and haggling over liability for breaches, losses, etc. Ditto for us placing our software on their network. They want to be made whole if we introduce a virus into the system, etc. At its heart, audit is a risk management business. We don’t want uncapped risk should that occur. They want us to have uncapped risk. As a result, even though we all have cool tools, their application is a lot lower in practice.

Is there anyone that works for Gallagher Basset as a claims adjuster and willing to share their experience? I’ve been receiving quite a bit of contact from multiple recruiters over the past several months. I am concerned from reviews I’ve read and it appears they have a very high turnover rate.

Partners/shareholders - how many hours are you expected to bill on work vs client dev and firm/associate management? My firm keeps saying that "there's no such thing as a relationship partner" and everyone top-to-bottom is expected to log 2000 hours/year on real billable work. Marketing etc is done on top of that. Is that normal?! If so, I'm going to have to totally rethink my life goals.

Would it be fair to say that Big 4 new seniors are underpaid in this market? I ask because I was planning my exit and thinking 80k (expected senior salary) to an ideally 95-100k jump to industry was possible.
Now that seniors are really only around 70k now, is it fine to keep the same standards for pay when exiting?
