Do you foresee our industry shrinking considerably between the advent of AI and the apparent shift towards more and more specialized consulting?

I think it will go back to valuable consulting rather than warm bodies doing repetitive tasks.

BPO is more lucrative. 200 people on a project vs. 6-10 on a strategy project. So that’s we worked to sell the last 20 years. Software conversions, implementations and new code will go to smaller teams using AI and bots, and clients are setting up their own offshore captives for this work.

So project consulting may shrink 30-50% in terms of staff. No idea what that translates as $$$ but it’s not good in the short term. In the long run, like 10+ years out, consultants are incredibly good at reinvention and new niches will surface. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Have any of your managers ask you to track every single hour you spent? It’s been pain of me for a long time. 1) sometimes I forget what exactly have I done for the day to reach 8. 2) some tasks take more time than managers’ expectation due to follow up, investigating, etc. and if you put more hours than then expected, they will then ask why.

Big 4 Partners, what is your take on mental health breaks? If an employee in your team takes a mental health leave would they be looked at unfavourably/ would someone’s candidature be shelved if they say they’re returning from a mental health break and looking for a job at your firm?

like

At some Big 4 companies there is a Partner / Principal group that has equity and are part owners of the business and an equivalent Managing Director group that does not have equity and are essentially employees.

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
