Is it “easier” to make partner at T2 or Big 4? From what I’ve seen it seems like everyone gunning for partner at Big4 creates a hyper competitive environment and requires both politics and numbers. At T2 it seems like partner is given less politically and can be achieved as long as you hit the numbers.

I came from big 4 and the path to partner was a lot less clear - a lot of jostling and paying your dues with sales targets on your head

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying their audit/tax season. I’m going into my 4th year as an audit partner. Let’s say the firm is in the top 5-10 range. Comp is $365k (draw plus distributions). Haven’t had comp discussions this year, but historically, it’s been 50-60k increases YOY. I’m sure this is under Big 4 salary levels, but for any National accounting firm partners, wanted to get thoughts. Thanks!

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

I'm always on the look out for my next opportunity or passively job searching.

However, at times, it feels the communication is coerced and there is a lack of rapport. Anyone else struggle with this? Thanks!

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
