Partners, what were some life changes that making partner brought about. Thinking mostly in terms of pay increase, additional security of retirement...but interested in other impacts to your lifestyle

Now I light my cigars w $100 bills, before it was $50s.

In seriousness, the only major change is the peace of mind that comes from defined benefit retirement plan (assuming I hang on the few more years until I vest), which in turn made it easier to write checks for kids’ college....they will graduate debt free. Otherwise, still live in same house, drive same level of cars, same type clothes, trips, etc. not trying to be a baller.

I feel a greater responsibility to our people that aren’t my direct reports. I used to only be responsible for my immediate team as a member of management. Now I’m responsible for a much larger population and am privy to a lot more HR issues. I also feel under a microscope sometimes. Everyone is looking to see how the partner responds to things, what does the partner say in reaction to things.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
