Genuinely curious: are there many East Asian partners at your firm? Couldn't help but notice that most partners are white or Indian and very few East Asians despite many at junior levels (m or f).

Hmm but I saw the same issue in law firms, and being a lawyer is considered prestigious in East Asian families. I think East Asians may lack (or don't work on enough) the soft skills to become socially popular or navigating politics. A lot of East Asians I know are good at getting their work done, but you can't rely completely on meritocracy to make partner (true both in consulting and law). They often lack a powerful mentor to advocate for them at the top.

We have one black partner in my office

Bcg 2 are you from Dallas ?

Very very few. Not sure why. Actually I do know. It's too do with confidence and also probably the fact that we know we can make more money doing other things!!!

Not many, even though we have tons of East Asian consultants. It's a shame really.

I've observed the same

@SC1 yeah but the question is asking about East Asians (who are "decently" represented at junior levels but taper off at senior management levels), not Indians (who are well-represented throughout the hierarchy).

East Asian, not south

D2, we have several black partners at EY. Mostly SE.
