PPEDDs think so, but reality is there is a huge structure of mgmt above partners at the local level. I think of them like VPs of divisions almost. Maybe even a step down from that

They will. But in the same breath they will also tell you they are a business owner. Technically true, but no more than any shareholder of a public company

Maybe a partner. CEO is still more prestigious. I wouldn’t say they’re equivalent.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
