Province AN1 TC 250k??

I've seen a lot of mixed posts about Province's AN1 total compensation. Around 70% of people mention ~$250K TC, about 20% say it's closer to ~$130K, and a small minority (10%) claim it's below street. This has been pretty confusing—does anyone have clarity on their actual Analyst-level comp?

Province used to do bonuses like A&M where analysts would get a % of billable revenue. If any analysts have cleared or are clearing 250, it would have been under the legacy model. All new hires now get "discretionary" bonuses ("up to 50% of base") (and they have been converting employees with legacy bonus models over to discretionary internally at year end contract renewals). The comp for analysts now is below street, around 125 all in. Source: I worked there for several years.

 

First off, Province is incredibly opaque with comp...go ahead and try to find it posted online, you'll have a hard time. Second off, there's only 80 or so people, and their backgrounds are very variable, not like you'd see in T1 RX co.

To the point of your question, one of my college alumni went through the process, and reportedly An1 was around 240 - 250k  a year ago. There were some An1s who made like 265k, but that was rarer. Sounds absurd, but I trust the person who told me that.

 

I believe I could add some color here.  My path wasn't the exact same but BB IB-->MBB-->T1 RX CO.  Over my time here, we've had a few guys jump to IB.  Typically, these were either interns that didn't take the return offer and recruited for FT RX IB or younger analysts who did two years here then made the move.  I would, first, want to know where your SA gig is. Does T2(ish) mean that you are at a newer, more specialized player that pays well but just doesn't have the platform of BRG, Province, Ankura (M3, PPP, MERU) or are you just simply not sure if your firm would be considered T2 or T3 (CR3, Teneo, Riveron, Huron, Big4).  Not like it would matter a great deal, but I think my advice for you would vary depending on where you're at exactly.

 

I have a cousin who worked there for a year as an An1. He made just under 230k tc. Of course they worked him into the ground and he quit after bonus hit. Sweatshop but they don’t stub on the pay. 

 

This is an oddly specific question, but funny enough, I have the answer. I interviewed with the firm (6 fucking rounds of hell) for FT after my graduation in September of 2023. I ended up getting the offer. It was 125k base and 100% bonus—give or take, depending on hours, but analysts told me it's almost always more. Due to health issues, I turned down the offer to take a more laid-back role in my home city. 

 

From what the analysts told me, they work more like 90-110 hours a week. It is literally a sweatshop, hence why I didn't take the offer. And yes, you can say the 250k is true. I don't know why people are in this thread trying to disprove it when they have no firsthand accounts of the compensation, but hey, it is WSO

 

What was the process like? Heard there's an LBO case study but also wondering if they ask more RX ib type questions or consulting.

 

Analysts are around ~$90k salary/$120k TC while associates are $130k/$180k. Could see some associates go higher as I’ve read bonuses for top performers can go up if they grind since it’s in part based on billable hours. Have heard they work a lot from some employees

Haven’t updated title but I moved out of banking into buyside won’t divulge more details to not out myself but I’ve seen the numbers. RX consulting posts have been popping up like crazy lately and someone keeps spreading the same “$250k TC” comp figure for Province which I’m not doubting there’s an outlier and if that person averaged 80-100 hours could totally see it happen. But that’s not what most of their analysts/associates are getting paid. Plus, they bill like 20% less per hour than A&M, FTI, and Alix Partners and pay much less than those guys too. Would also add that their associate roles are generally not entry level and have a wide range of years of experience, anywhere from 2-7 if you look on LinkedIn

Very interesting, I'm connected to one of the analysts there (not sr. analyst), and their response was that it varies from 95 - 126k as far as base.

It's wild how variable responses are on here when it comes to comp in RX consulting. There's 100% of time multiple people saying different things, almost no consensus except for the Big 3. In IB there's at least a general consensus of what to expect.
