As an SM building a new business with a newly minted P (the P is also the new signing partner for everything I sell), how do I differentiate myself enough to also make P in a few years?

You don’t need to differentiate, you can just show that you’re additive. If you’re selling $3-4m between the two of you it’s going to be tough. If you’re selling $10m between the two of you and the business you both are building can support two PPMDs then it doesn’t matter how different or not you are really.

This.

No insight, just following as I’m in the same boat.

A newly minted P can be supportive and a strong advocate, more sponsors supporting the case will make it stronger, so best to branch out and build a broader book under more senior leadership and other Ps. Good to diversify pipeline, clients, teams and book of business.

What about for EP? Is it pretty much written that he will make EP because he's been IP longer and we're both building this business together?

The P needs to make you part of the growth plan and advocate like hell that you can continue selling more as a P. It’s not so much about you differentiating then. Build a team under you to support the work and the economic argument should be a no brainer.

Probably need to work for a different partner

I got a job as a infrastructure consultant right out of college 3 years ago and later became a solutions architect at the company I am at now. I have a degree in CS and never really got the chance to use my programming skills (Java, python, Springboot framework). I’m finding that I’m not really in to platform engineering or cloud infrastructure and would like to pivot to software/app development. And suggestions on where I could get started on making this transition?

The last owner bought for 35k like 15 years ago 😩 but hoping buying and holding for a few years will give a equal or greater returns over the long run.
