EM1, I’m gonna assume you’re not aware that principals and partners are essentially the same thing at KPMG. You can’t be a partner if you don’t have a CPA at an accounting firm, hence the term “principal.” Principals are referred as partners here. But hey, what do I know?

Y'all know that a "principal" at BCG is the big 4 SM/Director equivalent, not PPMD, correct?

There are many levels of partner.

The prototypical partner that we like to think about with regards to comp has survived and been around 6-10 years (tough to do) and likely makes 700-1m depending on how many shares they have.

New partners bring in a lot less 400-600.

These of course depend on firm, what you’re selling, performance, etc.

I’m sure the answer OP is looking for is a lot more nuanced and dependent on what level he/she would enter at

smart

Upper end is 500k... for principals according to other bowl

Lateral move folks. Principal to BCG principal which is not the same thing as Partner at BCG. principal at BCG is the level right below partner.

@PWC2- if that were the case I wouldn’t ask. Other threads disclosed for other levels, not principal.

BCG1 - that was not necessary - OP - definitely try it, if you are good you will get the job no matter what and coming from a boutique it will definitely also add a lot to your personal satisfaction and pride working for a top tier firm trust me.
So all the best for the process from my side

uplifting

@OP, it's worth your while. Pay is definitely competitive if not better than what's estimated here. There also has to be something said about the culture and ways of working at BCG that is difficult to beat by any other firm. We've had lots of lateral hires that can attest to that. I'm sure you'll have a chance to speak to them if you get an offer - best if luck!

For what it's worth, my offer as an experienced principal at BCG was exactly the same as my current comp at ATK/OW (within 5k)

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

How do you think about carried interest as a factor in total comp? Getting 69bps (memelord GPs) in a $420M (see above) fund, which vests over 8 years. It’s a new fund, so won’t be paid out until liquidation 5-7 years later.

Assuming I stay at the fund for two years, and the fund returns 3x, that’s 300k (obviously subject to big change depending on my tenure & returns). When benchmarking against other offers, how should this be valued? Is TC 450k (300k salary/bonus + 150k carry), or less?
