Partner/MDs: in which year of your partnership/role did you hit the $1M gross income? Would you mind sharing? I heard the average is Year 5-6 for Big 4/ATK/OW etc partners and Year 3-4 for MBB. Is that directionally accurate?

Just remember that we have to pay tax in every state so $1m is not anywhere close to what we take home.

Nor is it comparable to ACN MDs who get a W-2, so partnership $1m is probably 500-600k of W2 money.

like

SC2, seems like flawed logic. "1m but only net 700? Hard pass."

Lots of year 1 answers. Is most everyone else afraid to embarrass themselves? I am good at that so I will go, year 3.

For those who answered year 1, do you believe this was atypical or the norm for your firm? If atypical, what is the norm (if you know)?

like

Typical although they did make some adjustments recently that might make it Y2 (since early comp is mostly lockstep) if the year isn’t so good. In good to great years would expect it to be Y1.

Year 4 while I was at Accenture and only because I left mid year and made more joining another firm🙂 Accenure has four levels of MD and to make that kind of money you need to level 2 or level 1.

First year.

Not at MBB, T2, or B4/ACN, but I'm expecting to clear $1M gross in 2 years, which would put me at Y13.

I'm now at a regional firm with slower comp trajectories than the brand name firms, but I've been totally fine with my comp since Y1 as a MD, so it's all been cherries on top since then.

All of us partners here are W2 employees, as a point of reference.
