What’s the 1st year partner Comp in your firm? I am at a top firm (outside of MBB) and looking at a total Comp of just above 500k. Getting vigorously approached by a T2 firm for 650k, better role (mandate wise) due to specialized skill set. Trying to get a complete picture

OP - genuinely curious if moving from 500k to 650k is going to give you incremental happiness? Aren't both a LOT of money? I would have thought that at your level the more interesting/ impact creating role would win..

I don’t think money should be a factor either, but moving from $500k to $650k ain’t buying you a second home or ultra-luxe first in HCOL cities.

like

What you get in your first year is not a useful yardstick . You need to figure out what partners in that firm tend to make over 10-15 years to make this decision . 500K+ ish is very good for a first year partner in B4 and ACN/IBM .

likefunny

I heard ACN first year MDs make less than $350K

Wow people care about “tiers” once they become PPMD’s? I thought that was a scam sold to 23 year old analysts to make them work more hours.

My guess is you are being recruited by PwC but I could be wrong. PwC (including S&) is probably one the very few “tier 2” firms that pay $650K for first year Partners.

Not every firm pays on that basis, P3. Some are more heavily weighted to firm performance.

Surprised we’ve gone this far without talking about the network and clients. They’re the ones who got you to partner in the first place, don’t forget.
You’ll have neither when you move.

What’s it worth to potentially suck for a year or two when you could have been doing well and progressing at your previous firm unshackled by non-competes and buoyed by peers and Junior’s who know you and you know?

At that raise, given the increased proportionate tax load, you’re barely making more money net - not too attractive a move purely on the $ math. Type of firm, role, impact etc. should shape your thinking here instead of $ only.

Your market value is not on your base pay - that thinking should end when you enter partnership. A partner’s market value is from how much you sell and are able to take home as share of earnings.
