I worked at Deloitte and now A&M PEPI. It’s not even close. A&M 100% better from a culture and comp perspective. And I plan to retire here.

Planning on it, and earlier than anywhere else because of the comp

Depends on what A&M practice

For the journey, A&M. However, long term partner comp at Big 4 is a significantly better value proposition than long term comp at A&M.

Most people who leave for there do not see a path to partner at their Big 4 firm though.

A&M MDs are making over $1m in their sleep. $400-600k can be made at manager/director in pepi.

How much are we talking in total comp in a good year? Isn’t it 30-40% of your collections? So if you collect $1m, it’s $400k?

Varies by group within A&M, but 400-500 is normal at the director level.

What did you do at D before making the switch?

It was awhile ago so I’m not sure the org is still structured the same, but I was in Strategy and Ops, specifically working in a team called SCMO. I left as an SC. If it helps, I came in as an experienced hire and I think that’s incredibly difficult at D so it may have colored my experience more so than others who grew up in the org.
