Yeah, I was speaking strictly on the audit side. I don't think there is much difference if any, in partner pay between the different practices, but there is certainly a difference in quality of life. I believe the average partner draws ~800k in distributions, which is nothing to sneeze at, but with a few exceptions every audit partner I know seems completely burned out and miserable. I think a lot has changed in the last 5-7 years for them.

Yeah, the pay sounds about right. Most partners I know on the advisory side, while certainly busy, seem to like their jobs.
