Anyone have advice for coming into a firm at the Senior Manager/Senior Director/ Associate Partner role? I’m doing that between firms and have an idea of what’s needed for success, but would also love to hear from folks who have already done it successfully. Thanks!

All those are pre-partner roles with a heavy emphasis on selling , margin and revenue management. So first, you should be playing that role at Deloitte. Second, understand how sales is done in the new firm-processes , account structures, sales cycle etc and third, make connections with partners asap and get yourself known as a “lead” of something. Ideally you should be aligned with an account /competency straightaway , but it needs to be meeting with partners and kinda make yourself known to them

That role is about sales and/or doing everything that is asked of you and smiling while you kiss the partners' rear end.
