1) I doubt the spread across firms is very big, the spread within a firm is likely far larger
2) to the extent there is a spread across firms, it likely goes by size: Deloitte slightly higher than PwC, both meaningfully higher than KPMG and EY

I would assume target comp per partner would be higher at the firms that make MD (or equivalent) a required step to partnership, given that average first year partner comp would be higher at those firms.

I doubt there is a way to find that out - but from hear say my bet will be on Deloitte

Any idea how comparable the mid tier firms are? GF / BDO / RSM

We recently did a market survey, and RSM pays around 90-95% of what you will get in B4 as partner. B4 is obviously higher, but having worked in both, the work in middle market is more enjoyable and less stressful.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

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?
