Could anyone kindly tell me about the Investment Management and Private Equity Audit Group at Deloitte? 1. Work Life Balance (Is it worst than the ordinary Big 4 WLB?) 2. Is it an entirely different audit from commercial/retail audits (think account balances etc.) 3. Difficult to learn how to audit clients in this industry without prior experience in the industry?(been doing commercial audits for 3 years) 4. Are there relatively good exit opportunities for this audit group? Deloitte PwC EY

Not sure what type of law firm you are at, but that is typical for BigLaw. Around 8 years, you age out of Associate comp tables. If you don’t have your own clients, you get paid less than Associates. I have 16 YoE but am paid between a 3rd and 4th year’s salary. Even fresh Partners often make less than Associates, unless they have a decent book of business.
Making what 5-8th years would be better than making what the 4-month associates make lol. I should also clarify. I’m an associate myself…

What is your comp (base and bonus)? You should definitely be making much more than a first year but it sounds like you retooled to commercial litigation which may result in a haircut in comp.
You may wish to look in-house. You’d make about the same without billable hours and less stress.
