Th value lies in job security. Once you get a “C” or “E” in your title, people are looking for your head and your seat. You don’t have that in Big 4. You do your job and you’re straight.
Not if you do it long enough. First couple of years are tough, but after that you should have it under control. If you don’t, you wouldn’t survive in the near of vipers that is Corporate Politics.

Average/median B4 equity partner comp is in the 1M-1.6M range but it takes 4-10 years to get there after admission. Once there, hard to beat the consistency of cash income from annual distributions/retirement benefits accumulation.
VP in a Fortune 500 is a much lower “base” and higher variable / RSU upside. Less reliable year to year in terms of total comp. Some years could be 7 figures some years mid six figures.
MDs in finance go through a similar ramp we do but average is about $2M+ for the bulge bracket banks (just hearing from peers/friends. Could be off here), yet are subject to more year to year variability.
WLB all depends on the individual situation. Finance probably has it the worst.
Big 4 Partners have lower upfront pay (~$500k starting) but build wealth through equity stakes and pensions over 20+ years, but with public firms you earn higher short-term cash compensation, without the profit-sharing upside of partnerships
