The expectation from leadership and client is extremely high. And the rigor of peer performance is also a big pressure. You just need to work harder and better to meet the expectations and let alone standing out which results better quality of deliverable in shorter timeframe.

Audit Partners — Do you see longterm profitability of audit in general? Is it going to be worth being a partner, financially, given the risk you take on, in 10-15 years? With audit bids increasingly being driven way down by competition, & lower level resources demanding (much) higher pay than it was historically, I’m not convinced the partner track is still as enticing as it was pre-Covid. Seems like the job market/higher staff pay alone has GOT to be taking a huge cut into partner pay.
