Is there a variable component to Senior Managers’ / Directors’ base salary (excluding merit-based bonuses and excluding people that work at A&M)? What’s the incentive for getting as many deals done as possible?

All of the Big Four are a time and grade recognition and reward system vs a meritocracy - at all levels including partners. I can’t tell you how many times when I was back at B4 that I was told after getting a crappy raise that “I was making the most of everyone my level” - the problem is that the delta between the best and the worst performers is small and limited by a compensation band at each level. For some people that model works but for high performers it’s extremely frustrating.

Generally (at least on the tax side) we have revenue goals and higher the revenue, the better the bonus

So you can beg them to make you partner

Delta is pretty significant..at least 40k at M2 level in NYC and would be compounded for SM level

I think we have a different definition of what is significant.....

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.

Any advice on what to do?

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?
