You are going to need to be working:

+For the right partners that will get you promoted to Director and get you into the partner pipeline known as PCLDE. You need to have specific conversations about this now.

+In the right industry or technical niche that is a high growth area and a priority for the firm. Doing routine tax provisions or returns that Acceleration Center can do at lower cost is not a path to partner.

+In the right town or geographic market that is hot. Better still would be a hot market with partners within a few years of retirement.

Even having said all the above the partners you work for need to be big hitters with a lot of clout who can get their way. And they have to put you up for partner instead of longtime PwC folks that have been presumably working hard for years for the same partners.

Bottom line it’s uphill but if you have differentiated expertise or can bring in business it’s not impossible. Good luck.
