Less money and less security — why making partner at EY, Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG isn’t what it used to be

Less money and less security — why making partner at EY, Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG isn’t what it used to be

Being a partner at a Big Four firm has long been considered a prestigious and lucrative career path. However, recent years have seen a decline in the number of partners and the attractiveness of this role. Economic challenges and slowing demand have impacted the industry, leading to firms cutting partners and reducing payouts.

In the 2024 financial year, all four leading professional services firms – EY, Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG – experienced a drop in total revenue growth. This slowdown has not only affected the firms’ financial performance but has also created challenges within the partner ranks.

Partners are the most senior employees at Big Four firms, responsible for client networking and business development. With tightening profit margins, annual payouts for partners have declined. Additionally, the total number of partners at major firms in the UK has decreased, with significant departures at PwC, EY, and KPMG.

Former employees and industry experts have noted a shift in the partnership model. Partnerships are no longer as secure as they once were, with more partners being encouraged to retire due to market conditions. This trend is expected to continue, leading to a more exclusive and competitive environment for aspiring partners.

As more partners retire, fewer individuals are being promoted to fill their roles. Non-equity partner positions have become more prevalent, offering a salary rather than profit-sharing status. This change reflects a shift towards a more meritocratic compensation model, where performance is more closely tied to pay.

In response to these changes, PwC has introduced a new “managing director” grade below the equity partner level. This new role provides an alternative to partnership and aims to attract and retain top talent in a changing business landscape.

Overall, the evolving partnership model at Big Four firms is reshaping how junior employees view the executive role. While being a partner remains prestigious, the path to partnership is becoming more challenging and less linear. As the industry continues to evolve, the impact of AI on professional services is expected to further shape the future of partnership at Big Four firms.
