Please give me the inside scoop on culture at PwC. Considering a slight pay cut to make a move. (Not in a great situation where I am.) Is there upward mobility? Is Senior Manager a good level to come in at? (no big4 experience)

Without knowing your vertical, a senior manager position is good to start in. Mobility within biz services can be harder (it all depends on openings and team budget), this is the same for bonus pools and salary increases at the end of year.

There a lot of positives to PwC, the culture is positive, lot of smart people employed by the firm, inclusive (it’s not performative allyship in my experience but others could have a different experience) but if you’re considering a pay cut (anything more than 10%) personally I wouldn’t because the compensation and upward mobility can really get strangled unless you’re desperate to get out of your current role.

like

Upward mobility in business services is generally pretty significantly slower than client facing (not sure where specifically you’re looking in BS). And the bonuses and salaries are a lot lower than client facing (although don’t equate a SM role in client facing to SM in BS in terms of experience).

Team based. Either it clicks or you split. You have more WFH options with PwC.
