PwC bonus ranges: have you ever received 100% of your bonus target? Only been at the firm one year and received 9% out of 20%... Wondering if this is the norm or exception?

I wish I had this question honestly answered for me before I started. My recruiter flat out lied and said that it was normal for almost everyone to get the full bonus at their level. When I learned I was rated a 1, I was confident I would be getting 20%. It was really shitty when my RP told me I would be getting 10% - and he said it like I should be proud. Well, I might have been happy, if my expectations had been properly set. As it was, I felt like I was getting slapped in the face.

2012 was close to 100%

They all flat out lie until you get on board. That's why they don't even put a range in writing when you get the offer letter. I got burned by this but much worse.

P2, remember any other years in terms of where it was? I'm on same boat as last poster... I thought we would get close to the range but not even close

OP I've been around for 5 years and 2 out of those 5 have been pretty close to the full range. You'll should understand that this is a down year for most of the big 4s and based on what I saw on D and EY threads theirs is comparable or lesser than P. Election years are especially like this. We are also getting into the cohort system so it will take a year to stabilize and we'll see higher bonuses based on performance once everyone is paid to the grid instead of instances exorbitant variations in pay at the same level.

Thanks P2. I sure hope so. For an MBA hire, they lock you down real good with the sign on bonus for 2 years and so far I'm honestly goon to make less money than year 1 which is not a good thing

I like my team and work life balance, during the pandemic was very beneficial to my wellbeing. However feel I owe it to myself now, to be earning what I’m worth in the market (I’m underpaid by a fair bit) especially with inflation costs
