How much of partner salary depends on the performance of your specific practice (say Salesforce as an example) versus the overall firm versus how much you bring in individually?

Trying to think if “overcrowding” at the partner level should be significant concern or to view it as a growth indicator?

For context, at PwC and right now my practice had 15 partners and one of the highest revenue per partner ratios, but there’s been another 5 partners added these two years alone.

Well, it’s not a salary first of all. Most partnerships are comped based on how well the business does, so it is somewhat variable with generally minimum earnings sort of guaranteed.

So to your question, the comp of an individual partner is impacted by firm’s performance - the bigger the pie, the bigger is your piece, as well as their individual performance - if they met their goals.

But I think you’re talking about a business case for making partner including affordability, which is a different ballgame. Is there a business case for you to make it and how strong is it, and can the practice afford you. And that’s a conversation you need to have with your leadership as they’re the only ones that would know this. Strangers on the internet have no idea how big your practice is and whether your partners bring enough to the table.
