Hi Fishes, I have received an offer from Barclays for AVP position. But the role discussed during interview was for Tech Delivery Manager whereas the offer letter mentions it as Tech Delivery Lead. Can you guys please suggest if it is the same role or should I request recruiter to get the role updated? Moreover it would be great if any of you can shed some light on the prospects/challenges of this role based on your experiences. Barclays Barclays global service center

Never a competition in my eyes. Becoming a partner is not about which director is the best but more about your own business case. If you were lucky to be on clients that are growing and need partners it has nothing to do with competition. If you networked with the right people along your career it has nothing to do with competition. I don’t wake up in the morning and say let me sell more work than my peer, or let me make more connections than so and so. If you just focus on your career and not about everyone else then everything will fall into place.
There is a lot that goes into being admitted as a partner, not least of which is luck. There is no doubt that it feels competitive at times, but can also be collaborative in working with friends to understand the best approach to a conversation or a new role. It’s also helpful to see the strengths of some peers that are your weaknesses so you can improve
I can't shake the competition mindset.
Yes but I don't focus on what they are and aren't doing. I'm not out to "get them". I focus on my skill set, business case/strategy and the cards will fall where they fall. The people that I know who have made partner are the ones who work well as a team and bring whomever the right person is to the table (same practice group or XLoS, it doesn't matter).... It's about the "firm" not me approach.
Yeah they are the competition but they will also be my fellow partners once most of the ones that are in position to make partner eventually do. Friendly and collaborative with them all
Yes
I have a partner that goes out with another SM to dinner along with his wife. Been rolling together for years. I joined a couple of years as an experienced SM. Who do you think is going to make partner first? 😓 No matter how hard I try it’s not going to matter.
