Am i the only one who has zero desire to get promoted? I see my SM and his stress level and I just don’t want to live that life. I want to learn as much as I can until my sign on bonus clawback is gone and then go to industry where they work 9-5.

I mean yeah it’s not for like 80%+ people who join Big 4. There are certainly reasons to stick with it though - mainly the buckets of money.

I am well aware. But this convo is about why people stay, and that is the reason why they stay. Speaking as someone who is likely going to boomarang back in the next year.

I see quite a few SMs around here that might be making good TC in Tier1 locations, but also don’t seem to have much of a balanced personal life.

What’s the point of making all that money if you have no life? I’d rather have balance.

Im at a boutique and even the partner doesn’t work more than 55 hours a week. I do barely 40. It’s a cushy job with some sweet exit opps. There’s no secret, simply the lack of bullshit bureaucracy that’s rife in the larger firms. At our firm, we do away with anything internal that gets in the way of delivery and try to be super efficient.
