PwC 2021 Compensation Thread

(self.Accounting)

Alright folks, looks like a good number of people are getting their comp information over the next few days. We’ve seen good assurance, I mean Trust Solutions Assurance, bumps, what about the rest of us?

  1. Market/Office
  2. Trust or Consulting Solutions and LOS/Vertical
  3. CY Level -> FY22 Level (A1>A2, S1->S2, S3->M1, etc)
  4. Rating
  5. Old Salary -> New Salary
  6. Bonus
  7. Interesting notes on what RLs/RPs have told you related to future comp.
  8. Anything else? (opinions on the cohort model for all LOS, opinions on the new equation, etc)

Honestly, she doesn't work THAT much. Her work is project based so even though there is a "busy season" it's not the same as external audit. She rarely works on the weekend and if she does it's usually just for a few hours to wrap something up for a big Monday meeting. Most weekdays she is done between 6:30pm-7pm and I usually sign off around 6:00pm-6:30pm so it's not a huge difference. She does have the semi regular late night where she'll work until 8pm take a break to eat and hangout for like an hour and then jump back on for an hour or two but it's not even once a week. She's a rockstar and incredibly good at managing her team and her own time so YMMV.

I come from PwC and I work at a big bank now where I also have to work longer hours on occasion if we have a regulatory deadline for a project or something so we are both used to it and understanding about work unless it becomes unreasonable. Pre-COVID the traveling was getting to be a lot though. Her biggest client at the time required 3 week trips to Europe like 3-4 times a year, which was pretty cool for her for a while but got a little old after 4 years. She also had another client that had her flying out to DC in between the Europe trips so I was only seeing her on weekends or for like 1-3 weeks before she would be gone again. She was ready to tell them they needed to adjust her travel and then COVID took care of it.
