Any chance you have a background in cloud or analytics?? If so PWC is bringing in many partners in those areas, paying well and have shortened the interview process.

Just be mindful, they are trying to buy market share and you’ll most likely be on a 3 year contract.

How “well” are they paying for analytics partners? I think we all have different definitions.

Went through it a couple of years ago and am now bringing others in through it. Fastest I’ve seen is 60ish days, but that was an accelerated exception. Mine was 4 months, largely because I kept asking more questions… :)

Mine took like 8 months

Process is 7-10 interviews incl 4 with ‘executives’ that lead parts of the business

Thank you.

I can attest above is true, I was approached for MD but it came with significant revenue targets

Took 6 months to receive an official offer. Was told I was receiving an offer after 4 month but there were internal delays. 6 interviews with MDs + regular communication with hiring manager.

I am going through the Partner / Principal process at PWC as well. I heard there is a 2 year probation period ? For all newly admit catalyst partners and u could get voted out. Are u hearing the same? Not sure how big of a deal that is

Thanks P1 for your input. As a new direct admit, 66% is something else.

I just went through the process. Happy to answer specific questions. Mine was a rush job and still took about 3 months (longer if you include the hoops between contingent offer and start date.

Do you happen to have a burner ?

Given these positions aren’t posted, how does one “apply”? I’m a EY in cyber. I have cloud experience.. I’d be very interested in a direct admit conversation.

In my experience, you don’t apply. That is anecdotal so others may have a different experience. I reached out to partners/principals I knew at each of the Big 4 to let them know I was interested in making a move. That started the recruitment process.

That said, it is very difficult to lateral from a SM at one firm to partner at another. MD is possible.

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?
