Since there's no search feature.. what does it cost to buy in as a partner in a Big4? Does it depend on practice? Is it like stocks (where the more you own, the more bonus you can take home)?

It's mostly irrelevant as you can borrow to finance the purchase of shares. It's a mostly a tax play as the interest is deductible as a business expense. More partner shares = more leveraged investment = more income. The higher you rise up the partner ranks the more shares you acquire

These are not answers. Seriously want to know, not trying to out anyone. Ranges fine.

Heard it's a $500k buy in minimum, but like folks say above you pick shares in relative BUs and then obviously have an incentive to generate business/returns

I'd thought at PwC it's $1m buy in that you pay in annual $200k increments.

500K for D, less is you opt for Director over Partner, but your return percentage is lower at Director

D1 isn't Director at Deloitte non-equity like MD at PwC or KPMG? I'd expect there to be no buy in for those levels.

SC2 - you are right. Directors are salaried and have no stake in the firm. Hence no buy in.
