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.

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner.

The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded.

Pretty highly rated consistently and up for director this year. For years been thinking of starting a business (franchise). Pandemic has put a dent in that but still viable option. Gross profit is 350k (median) and a line of business I’d be very interested in. Clearly this is less pay than new parter (but could open more than one eventually) and risk may be higher for failure. What other factors should I consider when evaluating staying to partner or trying my hand as an entrepreneur?
