SWE comp will probably higher initially but lower long term. Cloud consulting comp may be lower initially but higher long term.

Of course this goes with the assumption that you are willing to do sales as a cloud consultant. Either by making partner and selling cloud implementation services at a consulting firm or joining a AWS/GCP/Azure in a sales role.

Yeah you don’t need to worry about it too much until you hit SC or M. Honestly sales inconsulting isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. You aren’t selling cars

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?

I took a temporary job as an attorney advisor at the SBA this past fall b/c it offered a regular paycheck, and my solo practice was suffering b/c of the pandemic. I like the work.
