Seems like PwC partner comp is much higher than other Big 4? Have seen 650-850 first year at PwC, are other B4 comparable?

$850K is possible but a stretch. Based upon our current share value, first year partner could go up to $750K. In addition to this, if they can get multiple team awards (max $60K each), first year comp can cross $850K

I feel very confident in saying all B4 pay the same give or take. Obviously there are outliers but on average I have no reason to believe one would make more or less than another as a rule.

You get a range of units as a first year partner, S& normally comes in at the top of the unit range.

It does seem that PwC pays its first year partners significantly more than the other 3., from what I’ve gathered. Coming from a year 3 EY partner.

How does PWC afford to pay its partners more? Isn’t the business model and pie the same for most big 4’s. Or are there fewer PWC partners?

The answer is digital.

PWC partners have made a religion of exaggerating “average” first year comp.
They do well, but don’t take everything you read on an app as gospel.

Tim Ryan has done to PwC what Tim Cook has done to apple. Focus on operational excellence, squeeze as much as you can and increased the share value. To be honest some of the Resource Rates we have don’t make sense ( you can’t tie it back to comp, and before folks come rushing in I am accounting for the overhead costs like Infra, benefits , IFS etc ). The share value has strongly appreciated during Tim’s reign and the partners have reaped the benefits.

This does cause pressure on the teams executing, but it has worked well for the last 6 years so it’s working.
