Been looking for B4 exit opportunities, but when I find opportunities I always start 2nd guessing myself on whether to leave. Then if I pass on a opportunity (because comp / role isn’t a fit or they pass on me), I feel defeated and keep thinking “can’t wait to leave.” Ultimately, while I think I could make Partner at B4, I really don’t want the “always on call” and daily grind that comes with it. Anyone else have this inner conflict that feels like a lose-lose?

PMD 🐠: looking for entry level Partner comp comparison at Oliver Wyman vs B4 vs MBB. Can you pls share broad benchmarks and any qual insights / pros - cons. Background: I’m currently B4 SM and going to promote to D in 12 months. Have reasonable senior cover/ sponsorship but is the track to Partner super clear - prob not. High performer but lagging in trajectory (part COVID/ part politics). Hence evaluating options and planning my next move/ optimising for my next 5 yrs. thanks 🙏

Partner asked me if I could help with a pitch. I said “yes but won’t be able to finish as I’m approaching project closing next week”. She said that’s OK I’ll find somebody else to finish. Final feedback from RT: “he does not finish work he starts”. And given this was the only partner I worked with this year. This was the final verdict. I’m worried how it will reflect on raise and bonus although all reviews are flawless.

Would you hire a pregnant woman? Dilemma. We are TTC. But my job of one year is stressful, toxic, making me sick. Need to devise an exit plan...but what if I get pregnant?

Pros: if I stick it out I’d get 5 months full pay. There again, if I left, my partner’s salary alone could (just) cover us.
Cons: not actually pregnant and we don’t know how long it’s going to take! Finances aside, would you just grit your teeth and stick out a bad job in case you need to take leave in 9–12 months time?

Ok I cannot be the only one thinking this but I'll be the one to ask -
While I'll acknowledge that mbb has better talent are you trying to tell me that a 30 year old partner is bringing in more value than a 50 year old partner at t3?
If not why is there such an insane gap in the compensation.
