Anyone boomeranged back to big 4 at a senior manager level? I left as a manager and have an option to go back. If someone jumped back - did you get comparable all in compensation? Do boomerangs have a chance to become a partner?

I know someone who boomeranged and eventually became partner. I’m unsure of the exact details, but my impression is they left for less than a year before coming back… maybe even as quickly as 6mo.

A boomerang’s chance to become partner in the situation you just described is probably quite small (but not 0)

I would only go back if you're willing to play the long game to get to partner or director level.
