Pay is a little higher than Big 4 but the raises aren’t good, maybe 3-5%. Bonus’ would be small as you’re not adding value. The only good thing is that you would have an opportunity to buy into the employee fund which gets a small percent of income.

Source: I do audit for the management companies of multiple PE firms.
