My hot take is that it's harder to make Manager at MBB than Partner at Big 4
Chief
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
Chief
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.
Chief
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?
Chief
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.
Chief
Not manager, maybe associate partner
What about M to principal? My manager is campaigning like his life depends on it rn.
