Is there a typical quota to compensation ratio to judge "good" partner pay?

Ie. If quota is $5M and expected TC is $1M, is 20% good?

Sigh. Be awesome. Sell plenty and help others close deals. Get good people promoted and support a few into the Partnership. It’s not your knowledge or what you sell, it’s what you cultivate. Which is now and later.

I assumed it would be in the 10-15% range.

E.g., a $5M quota would equal a TC between $500K - $750K.

But I don’t know, as I’m not a partner. If anyone wants to make a partner 😎 ….

funny

My GTER/MR target is $6m and I get paid less than half of that

I wish…No, was referring to OPs TC of $1m

Idk but I billed $1.3m at discounted rates and got paid $125k

1-2 in my service line at KPMG

About 10% for early partners here

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
