Audit manager here. Planning to talk to partner in charge about becoming a partner eventually. Any tips about what to ask?

Just that; I would say that you want to make partner one day and you would like to know from them what specific traits and actions would they want to see from you as you continue in your manager and Sr Manager years to be on the partner track. I would ask them for their advice on are their others you should also talk with. I would also ask if they would be willing to help coach you along the way. I am not at DT, but would ask if there is a partner form that you would be allowed to see to get a sense of the questions and information that the partnership wants to see for you to make it

That’s helpful, thank you.

Additional Posts in Public Accountants with Children

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Random question but do you let your kids hang out in your bedroom and use your master bath if applicable? My kids always seem to want to use our bathroom instead of theirs and my spouse doesn't care but I grew up with my parent's room basically being off limits and think I'd prefer it that way.
