Hi, just got an offer from A&M as D (Performance Improvement). The base from Glassdoor is accurate (US as a benchmark). Bonus is much higher than my current. Anyway the base seems very low compared to S& SA in US.
1) is it true that the base is that low compared to junior-mid level at S&?
2) i am based in Asia, any different rate compared to other region at A&M?
3) the TC can be 3x that what I can get currently, but i can make partner in few years at PwC. Do you think A&M should be considered?

Which performance improvement. There are 2 completely different ones. Corporate Performance Improvement (CPI) and Private Equity Performance Improvement (PEPI). PEPI generally pays a lot more so assuming the latter.

1. Base is lower compared to Big 4 but bonus more than makes up for it across groups usually.
2. … of course. This can’t be a serious question. Do you think billing rate in India as an example would be the same as billing rate in the US?
3. Up to you, depends on how realistic you think you can get to partner and how long you see yourself working in consulting. If you think you will stick it out and can realistically become a partner, probably would just stay at PwC.

Thanks. Yes it is PEPI
2. Understood. I was wondering why the base is very low, which i thought maybe mainly because of different region rates, but now i understand that regardless the region, the base is often lower compared to other firms

The base is lower because we believe in having a true meritocracy. We aren’t going to pay people $$ that can’t get on projects or want to sit around like bumps on a log. If you’re in demand and highly utilized the comp will blow your mind though.

Exactly
