Does taking an Executive Director role at Deloitte harm chances of Partner promotion?

There’s Executive Director at Deloitte?? In consulting there’s only M > SM > MD/P.... 🤔

like

MD then.

MD and Partner are the same level as Deloitte. Some do make the switch (they have to go through the partner/MD admission process a second time) but it’s not like other firms where MD is the level before partner

I believe at all B4, MD is a destination role, meaning that chances of you converting to partner are low. It happens but not often (this is excluding direct admits).

like

We often hire people as MDs and convert them to Partner if they meet agreed upon goals. But you should have all of these conversations and define those requirements.

For internal candidates, this is not common. I know of 2 people.

like

At PwC, we are increasingly using MD as a bridge from D to P in *some* practices. Gets people better comp/title/respect while they’re building chops to fully make P, but has scared/pissed off some good people who left

I assume anyone promoted into it feels like “oh crap, it means I’ll never make P"

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
