Not all partners are created equal - behind the scene partners have levels but to the staff they are all partners.

MD is not partner. Unless the ability to sign an SOW = Partner. An MD is an employee, albeit a highly paid one with almost the same level of influence as a Partner. However, it is NOT a Partner. You are not a Partner until you get signed up to the same level of risk and equity in a business as an owner would be.

Crowe1 thanks. Glad someone got it
Partner doesn’t come after MD. It’s a decision that folks make (however it is significantly harder to go up for Partner from what I’ve heard). Partners/principals are equity owners while MDs are essentially non-equity partners. Sometimes you’ll see MDs switch to Partner (rarely).
Tech1, while MD is a step to partner at KPMG. At the D, both MD and P are destination roles. Internal documentation can confirm.
Breaking: MD plans to step down as the MD Friday and head to Auburn to become the Tigers next Partner, according to sources
Sources say MD isn’t a partner and haven’t officially offered equity to anyone yet.
So MD to Partner is happening. Story soon.
All aboard the MD Kiffin train
We have senior partner role
Oh I was referring to UK https://www2.deloitte.com/ie/en/pages/about-deloitte/articles/richard-houston-senior-partner-ceo.html
Partner (cpa) /principal (no cpa) are equity holders, MD is a non equity holder but they’re all the same level and therefore referred to as PPMD
What is CPA?

There are 5 levels in partnership

Okay Mommy
In US, MD and Partner are same level, so we refer to those leaders as “PMDs”. There are differences between the two as far as equity in the firm etc, but you either become MD or Partner/Principal. On an engagement, you have either an MD or Partner/Principal leading it.
There is title such as “senior partner” in US.
