40 partners from EY Germany. Honestly surprised even after the Wirecard AG fiasco.

For those of you who completed AOS, in your I-944, did you only include your income (assuming it was above 125% of poverty line)?

Or did you include all information of assets and liabilites too even though your income is greater than 125%?

The form is really confusing, not sure if I need to include both income and assets/liability. My income is >250% of poverty line.

Question for funds attorneys: Do you know how your clients track and implement LP side letter requests? What system do they have in place to make sure that they don't slip through the cracks and the right team takes ownership?

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two. And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box. So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …

The two top UK based insurance firms are Clyde and Co and Kennedys. Any ideas whether a long term career path in insurance is encouraged given there is little room to move around?

When your Senior Management, Manager, Colleagues and all are ok with muliple rework without proper planning on what to develop (just for demo itself) but you are the only one who develops and meet the timeline after which they come up with another new design, how will you manage?

What is the pay for Senior Analyst at DI in internal audit non CA profile?

I heard that recession may going to come ahead in near future. In that case, how is the job security at vois? Will they fire employees in that case?

I am being recruited by McKinsey. I am just starting the process so who knows what will happen. In the summer I had an offer from EY, which was good, but I actually felt like my role at ACN was just too good to leave. However Mck seems to focus on really interesting problems to solve. My questions to other partners out there - if you left another firm to go to Mck, why? If you considered an offer but decided to stay where you are, why? Don’t want to waste people’s time if I’m better off at ACN

Has your firm gone woke? My leadership is consumed by virtue signaling and social justice to the point where nothing else (even our business) seems to matter. More importantly, they seem oblivious to the fact that not everyone shares their woke sensibilities and they’ve said some highly divisive and offensive things. There is no vehicle for dissent. Thinking of leaving a firm I’ve dedicated my life to as a result. It’s a sad realization.

Any partners transfer from Big4 or Accenture to MBB and live to tell the tale? Did you like the change? Did you fit with the culture?

Any suggestions on how to get an adjunct teaching role at a university. Don't need money or prestige. I enjoy teaching and gives me something to do when I retire in ~10 yrs. Many colleagues who do this are big alumni donors. My Alma mater is too far away to be practical option. I'm an expert in a very in demand field - get quoted in articles all the time but have not been able to connect with anyone in academia.

Thoughts on Korn Ferry’s consulting practice? Partner level. Thanks In advance

Folks - who do you use for your financial planning and wealth management advisory? Yourself or a form? Anyone you recommend?

Any folks have interesting alternate investments that do well and you would care to share? (e.g. franchises, non-financial market investments)

Im a fourth year partner. The clients are good, workload is manageable, have a great team and a great boss. But I'm just not motivated to go and kill it anymore. It just feels more of the same thing. Also, I keep having a feeling that I could be doing a lot more if I were in a startup or in a different corporate role. The only reason that stops me from doing any of this is that money here is good and I worked really hard to get here. Any advice?

Partners - how does your firm incentivize Partners to collaborate and bring the best of your firm's thinking to each account without getting into a turf war?
Why would a Partner at your firm reach out more broadly and pull in more (v. fewer)? At my current firm, I am seeing some information / relationship hoarding. I recognize this is common across the board but I am curious how your firm is tackling this institutionally.

Anyone else feel more disconnected from the younger people after mid 40s? I understood their plight, knew the lingo, knew what kind of in-person gatherings would be fun, etc. All of a sudden I feel like I have no idea how to connect. I want them to get off my lawn and I’ve never felt that way before. Just looking for an ear.

Partners - I’m entertaining a couple of offers to join other firms. What are the details you’d look out for in a potential new contract? In my specific case I’m an income partner but welcome insight related to equity to so this thread is more broadly useful.

I’m interested to hear from anyone who has stepped away from being a Partner. I am finding that I simply cannot balance work and personal life and be a good “partner” in both aspects. We’re you able to find a new career which enabled you to fulfil your ambitions whilst being a good husband/wife/parent?

Joining Accenture as a lateral MD next month. Any inputs on how to build network and connect with fellow MDs, especially in a remote setup? Are people open to collaborate with “outsiders” at a senior level, or should I expect friction with people protecting their turf and sticking to their own connections? How is the work culture like at MD level? For context, I will join strat and consulting.

Here’s an entirely unrelated to work question, but one that’s entirely “rooted” in vanity. Has anyone had any experience with Bosley or other hair restoration procedures? If so, what was your experience?

Anyone have a child in Avenues NYC? Thoughts? Worried about English Literacy given they split time with second language immersion. My child is already fluent in Spanish so that is less of a gain.
