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.

How long does it take for PwC to send out rejection email? I interviewed with the team like a month ago, the recruiter called me the next day and told me that congrats, everyone likes me and told that they were working on my official offer. 3 weeks later, nothing. I followed up 3 times already and got the answer that I should expect to hear by the end of the week. My last follow up email, no response lol. Should I just move on now?
