Hi! I am asking for a friend in tax - “I’ve been in the AWM tax practice for 7 years (4.5 yrs at pwc and 2.5 at private) and am looking to switch to EY’s national tax team (passthrough group). How do they conduct an interview and how technical can it be? Also any general thoughts/ experiences on boomeranging back to big 4 after private? EY PwC

This is a no brainer.
A bad year for everyone is 0. A low performance year for any / all of them is 30%. A 'meh' performance is 50% and anything north of that is a trip to a sunny beach, investment, and/or retirement moving forward by a month or two...
Sorry to burst the bubble that HR blew at you, but none of us Directors are currently making 12%-20% bonus at KPMG
The past few years have been capped between 15% and 17% and even then I dont know of any Directors that got anywhere near the top of the VC range.
FWIW Im a homegrown Director making $295K and my bonus was around $10k/3% last year. I had larger bonuses as a Manager b4 Covid.
Parthenon. KPMG are bottom of barrel already, especially in this space.
Thanks everyone, I went with EY-P
Don’t with KPMG — the last few years on bonuses and raises are nowhere close to what they told you.
EYP and not even close. Just be eyes wide open on what it means to be coming in at a pre PPMD level.
Makes perfect sense, thanks for laying this out so clearly.
Let me ask you this....you obviously are qualified for both roles. If you have been in the game for awhile you already know that there will be lots of expectations and pointy elbows. Where do you see yourself fitting in the culture? Are you chasing the money or looking for an environment where you can make a difference with your client and your resources? Does this help?
It’s a good question. There is probably more pressure to succeed at EY-P as far as I can tell, probably matches my mindset more. Overall both teams have good people. No real red flags.
What are the targets and metrics for both? Deal flow (sales; revenue; profit; # of deals at different stage)
How are these targets augmented for Year 1 and Year 2 each role?
Same rough targets for sales and managed revenue, don’t think there are posted adjustments, but in practice expectations are adjusted for bonus conversations
What are the retirement and other benefits?
Basically same as far as I can tell
Definitely depends on team. We recently poached EY-P’s PE leadership team and their side of the ship has seemed to be very strong. Also hasn’t there been a mass exodus from EY-P since the Everest debacle?
It’s actually true the top leaders from EYP PE practice joined KPMG
