Thoughts on MD vs Partner route at EY?
Partner:
- higher comp
- first class citizen
- pension
- tied to firm
- higher sales targets
- less wlb

MD:
- lower comp (30-50%?)
- second class citizen
- lower sales targets
- easier to bail if you hate it (?)
- delivery focus
- slightly better but probably still terrible wlb

Am I missing anything?

I’d imagine WLB is worse for MD than Partner. Also partners move all the time so you aren’t set in stone

Is there even an MD pension? I assume not.

EY moved to defined contribution pension for P a few years back if I'm not mistaken.

No buy-in for MD. Also, you’re salaried so theoretically your comp level is preserved if the firm has a really bad year.

Fair, should update to say “comp preserved if you survive layoffs”

MD is an employee role. Partner/Principal less viable for entry after age 50 due to ramp.

All Big 4 partners I know (4) entered via industry and are all 50+
