How can EYP afford to pay MBA new hires so much (170) for SMO/IMO work? Rest of big 4 lags (150)

Bill rates in SMO/IMO were pretty high pre covid. You have to understand that EYP is actually a market leader in SMO work. Pwc, deloitte, and kpmg have less market share because they invested in other areas of their business. While EY lags in tech consulting, they dominated in divestiture work for decades.

Also as a practice area, junior resources experience somewhat higher utilization rates.

This original post is incorrect.

Because they want higher quality talent and are growing faster than the rest of legacy EYP?

From my graduating class a few years ago, they weren’t getting the top talent out of the B4. This was prior to the 170. Interested to see if that shifts.

It’s also worth noting that even in a typical year, our bonuses are significantly lower than PWC/Strategy& and Deloitte (I don’t have numbers on KPMG but I think they just beat us out too). I still made less overall than my friends who were above average performers (and therefore got above average bonus) at the other firms above. If you’re an average performer at EY-P you’ll come out ahead, but higher performers lose out.

Yep spot on OP. EYP is a good place to be if you’re all about the base and know that performance bonuses and being an above average performer will only get you so much in return.

If I was to go back and graduate from an MBA program I’d join EYP with a higher base if I knew I’d be okay being an average performer, since the bonuses are so low anyway; the return on being a high performer bonus-wise is just not there.

If you do count yourself as a high performer or have confidence that you can get top tier rankings or close to them, your total Como is better off at D/PwC/KPMG where bonus ranges and rewards for top performers are higher.

Alternatively if you focus on just a good base and are okay at that point knowing that even if you’re a high performer, your bonus at EY or EYP will only be so much, then go that route.

And yes, I understand in a promo year things are different, but in non-promo years EY bonuses are known as being historically low, so your base is pretty much what you’ve got to work with.

At the others, the bonus range is higher and as a result, top performers are rewarded better. Simply facts.

Underpay everyone else?
