Interviewing at PwC for SM level. First tech round with Manager and then Director. I’m asking 200k base + 30% bonus. What do SMs make at PwC?

No one at PwC can confirm a bonus like that as bonus is determined per the performance tier every year. One can ask for one time joining bonus but that’s different than performance bonus.

If you’re in the Advisory practice at the SM level, you’re going to have to be a top performer to hit a 30% bonus. That’s the high top end of Tier 1. But you probably won’t get any higher than Tier 3 the first year, which is around 8%.

$200K should be pretty close depending on location and YOE. I’m in a Tier 3 city and make a little less than that near the higher end of my cohort, but people in HICOL cities are making $200K+.

Does PwC pay 30% bonuses? I know Big D pays crazy bonuses but some other B4 firms bonuses are far less.

30% is the absolute top range of the SM bonus pool range (at least in my practice), and only about 1/3 of SMs will be in Tier 1.

I believe that is pretty close. Depending on how many YOE of course. Usually around 185-200 plus 28% at the highest tier bonus

The money in PwC Advisory is not enough to soak up all the tears shed as the next bit of your soul departs your body. Worst. Culture. Ever.

Wow, I hear the opposite. Where were you in the firm?

That should be in line

Hey OP did u already completed technical round? Or still in process

All the best… when is tech scheduled

Quite low ! Way more than that as M4
