Compensation

JTW is a meritocracy. We don't track face time or subjective metrics. Instead, we are focused on outcomes. When our clients succeed our firm is rewarded financially. And when the firm succeeds our employees are rewarded financially.

• Base Salary = Market rate and is based on experience and capabilities.
• Revenue Participation = Percentage of revenue you generate within your vertical / industry. This is consistent with our firm policy. Every one of our employees receives a portion of the firm's, or their vertical's, success fee revenue. This aligns employees' interests with our clients and firm ownership. As our clients achieve success, our employees are paid a portion of that revenue. Revenue participation varies by employee and is based on capabilities. And we don't make you wait until the end of the year, we pay you the next pay period after a transaction closes.
• Bonus = None. We don't pay a subjective annual bonus. We pay for outcomes. Our employees' potential income is much higher this way. When our clients succeed, we all make money. [See: "Revenue Participation" above.]

This job is based out of our Wayne, PA office, which is a suburb of Philadelphia, PA. This is not a work from home or "hybrid" position. We do serious work and expect our employees to be in the office five days per week. This is an adult job so slackers, skaters, and coasters should not apply.

Employment Type = Full-time.
