I’m a first year PwC deals partner. Stayed here because I love what I do and value the power of controlling my own schedule and professional life....but from a $ perspective, despite compelling options elsewhere, wanted to join the partnership because the post-retirement defined benefit pension oppy is just too good to pass up on top of base comp for the next 10-15 years before I hang up the cleats and go do something else. For me conservatively I’m planning on $200-300k/year pension on top of the very aggressive personal savings my spouse and I put away, which I hope will be around $7-10M...and not counting home equity, custodial accounts/529s/etc that are for the kids and charity. So not at P1/2 level but very happy where I’m at!

Similar to P4 in terms of planning - planning for about $400k/ year and savings of $7-8M (not including homes) together with husband. We live in a high COL place. Have been partner for 8 years.

Based on many factors. Not trying to be evasive, but mostly on your income/trajectory and duration as a partner.

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.
