At your firm, can people on the technical track become equity partners without sales targets? If so, what do they bring to the table at that level? I’m non-technical, so just trying to understand.

Yes - technical expertise, deep content knowledge, building out the future of their field

Largely as McK1 says - but at the AP and partner level you are not expected to do the same as integrative (not generalist) track partners. So called “generalists” all need to be experts in something. But they also counsel executives across the full range of their issues (ie outside their core field, bringing in other experts as needed, hence integrative). Expert track colleagues need to be continually pulled-in - ie their expertise needs to be so good others want to pull them in - that’s the market test.

We have a level called Distinguished Engineer which is the same band as a partner . Deep tech expertise is the yard stick . No sales target . But generally lower pay than partners

IBM likely the only company where people with only sales targets have the hardest path to partner.

Yes, we have an Expert track

Thanks!

Not really an option at PwC. If you’re a technical resource, you’re more valuable to the Partner community by being billable, not as a Partner.

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
