EYP has higher bonuses. Because they operate at a higher margin/ rate , aka profitability. That is why MBB gets to pay much higher bonuses.

Bonus at EY is tiny. But even less is the bonus at Accenture. Bonuses are much higher at tech firms and boutiques. As are base salaries in general.

Wtf 3-5%…that’s highway robbery
