KPMG do specialist get equity as a director? Can they be promoted to managing director? If so, are they called specialist MDs?

Some tax MDs are in the 400-550 range for base salary ive heard. W-2 comp.

IMO they give out specialist designation to too many that don’t even have specialized skillsets

???
Equity only goes to partners.
I don’t know if they are called specialist MDs, but can’t imagine why they would.

MDs don’t get equity. Some are highly compensated, but not equity.

MDs can go way above $500 as well.

In a Big4 - no one 'Gets' equity. One needs to buy it. Only partners can (mostly have to) buy equity. So unlike a public corp - there is no RSU etc.

Do specialist get evaluated differently from traditional consultants? Like do they have different performance metrics?

Hypothetically, let's say someone had a position in government (either related to tax policy or for the SEC). Assuming they don't come in as a partner but as an MD or D (could be due to age, ie. over 53 years old), how would their incoming comp be structured at a B4 firm? I always assumed something well about new partner comp plus a sign-on bonus of $50K or more.

Other than equity, everything is on the table.
