Waiting for some partner to chime in about how they like solving complex problems and helping clients but ignore that they are doing it for a hefty paycheck and not for free.

Point is not everyone decides jobs completely on a money basis. It's ok if other things matter to you.

I made up so much fluff about why I wanted to work at PwC when I was a campus hire. Truth is it was money

I agree with this sentiment but at some point you have enough money (I’m nowhere near that) and motivational factors other than money become primary. Nobody is going to work for free obviously, but the compensation becomes secondary. An extreme example but I doubt Tim and Bob are really in it for the paycheck at this point.

Yup.

Mr Crabs

Not true. People works at mckinsey because they love to sell opiods to kids and persecute human rigths defenders in arabia.

Money is just a nice add-on

And which firm are you at

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity.
