My hot take is that it's harder to make Manager at MBB than Partner at Big 4

likefunnysmart

If you have a real 8 figure book of business, (outside of large scale IT and even then), you generally would have made it anywhere

Have been partner at both, currently Big 4 partner.

It is far, far harder to make partner at big 4 in the sense that they’re bigger businesses with slower growth and slower promotions, so you have to hang around for kind of a long time in order to make it and there aren’t many spots.

It’s also hard to make partner at MBB, not trying to say it’s easy, but the growth of the business generally means if you have what it takes and a reasonable amount of luck, you can make it.

Sure. You’re a director now? Lateral at that level is very hard

I got hired as principal from a tier 2 to partner level at Big4 which wouldn’t have happened at MBB

D2 what do you think he was trying to say?

What’s the max age limit to be considered for partner at MBB vs Big4?

like

There’s no official max age limit to make partner at any firm I know of. That said, most partners make it in their late 30s through mid-late 40s I think.

There’s also an age beyond which making partner doesn’t make economic sense, like if you won’t have time for your pension to vest — but that’s not a strict or official rule.

Not manager, maybe associate partner

What about M to principal? My manager is campaigning like his life depends on it rn.

Thanks P2.

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!
