Deloitte:
About $200K base pay plus approximately 1000 stock units @ $400 per unit. Pay varies from about $500K to $2.5M across levels - A through E.

Stay in Consulting kids. It won’t make you the next Bezos or Musk, but it helps a middle class person give their family a pretty great life.

Draw once a month. Portion of your target set aside and paid based on firm performance at the end of the year. So Target minus set-aside/12 paid monthly.

smart

At PwC: entry (first few years) 600-1.25m, mid level 1.25-3m, Senior 3-10m+ (very few would be at the top end) - also this is UK firm translated to USD no idea about the US firm... Also don’t forget the pension... pretty lucrative

Thank you again for your response PWC2.
The health insurance savings is huge. Well done.
Not sure what SS/EI refer to, but the state taxes are an annoyance to be added as well.
Still don’t get how you can pay out so generous a lifetime pension (which, by the way I cannot define, but seem to recall reading north of $500k/year) and not have it take a bigger bite from your monthly draw. It’s a huge firm with a huge number of retired partners to pay out, as well as paying a lot to the current partners which I’m guessing is in the 4000-head range in the US at least.
Is the pension the only post-retirement savings vehicle?
In any case, good deal.

Here’s the answer: 400K-10M.

I don't understand why someone would ask a question like this? First off, there are so many ifs to the compensation structure in Big4 and same exists in MBB. Clearly there is a lack of understanding on such. Maybe qualify the question - if you can't, then don't ask

Damn 😎

OP - First year partner comp is in the range of $600K-$650K at PwC. There are some additional bonus comp opportunities if we sell our products. This number doubles once you hit 5 year mark.

S&2 - S& Partners comp is no different from Advisory Partners but they get to Partnership faster than Advisory staff, hence they end up making more for the same YOE but first year partner in both Advisory and S& have the same comp structure. By the time they get to late 40s and early 50s, they have a better chance of landing in leadership roles (more pay) than others . In my vertical, many of the sub sector leaders (most of them are from S&) are in their mid-40s while a lot of Advisory partners are still “new partners” (who is on the 5 year new partner grid) at that age.
