How much does Partner compensation vary across firms and how distinctive is the PwC pension? I’ve heard a big range for comp, from $400k - $1.2M. All I’ve heard about the pension is it takes 10 years as a PwC Partner. New SM trying to think many years ahead!

Haha. Short answer is that it depends. Partner comp does have a very wide range across firms. MBB pays the most so on average a Partner at McKinsey will make more than a Partner at B4, IBM, Accenture, etc. However, roughly $400K-$2M is going to cover 80% of the Partner comps across all firms. Now when you get above the $2M threshold, then the % dwindles. I do know of some Partners in the $5-7M range but they’re rainmakers at their firms.

Agree, in 95 percent cases it’s when and not if.

At EY, I'd say fewer than 25% of partners clear $1 million a year. Those that do are rainmakers, in some sort of leadership role, both, or in a practice with really high margins. Nearly all are making more than $500K a year, except perhaps new partners or partners in small markets and practices.

This may be changing with record revenues and inflation, but this generally was true around 2019

EY2 yes starting is between 350-450k. Significantly lower than pwc unfortunately

In the UK PwC partner salary goes from around £450k to £5m (The Senior Partner essentially) which with a 1.4x USD translation is around $650k to $7m.

I am unsure about the amount of the PwC Partner pension in the UK firm but I know that it is very lucrative.

Partners year 1 vs year 20 make very different amounts. You'll get a better comparison if you think about it by years in the partnership. Year 1 at pwc is about $650k currently

Not sure this figure is accurate across all practices. Advisory partners I know have made in the 500 range year 1
