Have any of you done anything unconventional with your career after making a partner (other than experiment with roles within the firm)?.

I will take any advice on getting up early

What kind of car do you drive and how much did it cost? Obviously this depends on a lot of other factors like other expenses (mortgage, student loans, kids, etc.). I've been driving the same car since high school, a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. There isn't anything wrong with it, but I kind of want a car with the newer safety features like blind spot cameras and lane assist. I'm just curious how much other people are spending.

Could you please share the MBB salaries for 2nd year associates in London? Considering leaving the US and coming back home.

Still struggling a bit w breakup from early December. I posted earlier abt the guy who wanted me to dress femmy/sexy and ignored my issues. 3 months. I made a list of the top 5 reasons it wasn't working out for me and still I'm second guessing myself. I did break up by phone and felt good about it. I clearly told him the reasons. He called back abt hour later and ended up yelling at me about Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn's style and saying he wouldn't call again. Cont'

I’m starting my first year as partner and really underestimated the cash flow challenges I’ve always heard about. With 3 kids, my health insurance is 5x, plus the tax burden, and despite a $100k bump, my cash flow is less. Aside from just being conservative, any advice? My spouse is really confused why a promotion causes financial challenge!

I am so tired of Deloitte allowing bias towards MDs. Only because you are not an equity partner, your voice is automatically muted, you can contribute but you don’t get to decide. The minute a senior manager gets promoted to a principal, he gets on top of an MD with 15+ years experience and treats you like he is your boss. I mean this is a cast system at its best! I can’t wait to leave this firm, COVID can’t end fast enough.

How differentiated are your base salaries across the globe? Here we have the same base in San Francisco as Warsaw, regardless of cost of living / competition etc. differences.

Is anyone here a member of Zero Bond club? I am interested to hear your feedback and value you get. Thanks in advance!

Partners - how does your firm incentivize Partners to collaborate and bring the best of your firm's thinking to each account without getting into a turf war?
Why would a Partner at your firm reach out more broadly and pull in more (v. fewer)? At my current firm, I am seeing some information / relationship hoarding. I recognize this is common across the board but I am curious how your firm is tackling this institutionally.

Im a fourth year partner. The clients are good, workload is manageable, have a great team and a great boss. But I'm just not motivated to go and kill it anymore. It just feels more of the same thing. Also, I keep having a feeling that I could be doing a lot more if I were in a startup or in a different corporate role. The only reason that stops me from doing any of this is that money here is good and I worked really hard to get here. Any advice?

I am being recruited by McKinsey. I am just starting the process so who knows what will happen. In the summer I had an offer from EY, which was good, but I actually felt like my role at ACN was just too good to leave. However Mck seems to focus on really interesting problems to solve. My questions to other partners out there - if you left another firm to go to Mck, why? If you considered an offer but decided to stay where you are, why? Don’t want to waste people’s time if I’m better off at ACN

How many of you donate to your alma mater? How much per year?

Partners - I’m entertaining a couple of offers to join other firms. What are the details you’d look out for in a potential new contract? In my specific case I’m an income partner but welcome insight related to equity to so this thread is more broadly useful.

Considering an MD position at Accenture and need to give comp expectation, its on Strategy side. Of course its based on my own need and desire, but like to hear from (ex)MDs at Accenture if 400k sounds like a reasonable ask for base. And can anyone help me understand the difference between L4 and L3? For reference, I am a Senior Principal with almost 2 years executive industry experience post consulting. Thanks for any insights!

A senior partner is leaving for another firm. He’s been a great coach and always had my back. Want to give him a farewell gift and looking for ideas. Any suggestions or something your colleagues gave that delighted you?

What is the Partner culture at McKinsey like right now? I am considering making a lateral move.

Joining ZS … what are few things I need to keep in mind to become successful and flourish in the firm? Would like to hear from partners who are direct admits and have been successful at ZS

What are some good questions to ask your interviewer (post recruiter screen) when interviewing for a partner/MD position? Appreciate the support.

Do any of your firms have a Chief Revenue Officer in title and/or practice? What’s the reaction from clients to a role like that if it’s external facing?

Genuine question. How do you feel about a looming recession? What are you ways to prepare for it? What are you telling your teams?

Anyone here moving from Big4 to Genpact SVP? They seem to offer a lot to move but wonder how the transition has been on née growing consulting / digital services? Also worry about brand downgrade but then compensation upside is 2-3x. Appreciate candid feedback.

Any recommendations on professional recruiters for lateral partner moves. Considering leaving my current firm. I’ve been successful, but the politics are a killer. I’m in consulting.

Any suggestions on how to get an adjunct teaching role at a university. Don't need money or prestige. I enjoy teaching and gives me something to do when I retire in ~10 yrs. Many colleagues who do this are big alumni donors. My Alma mater is too far away to be practical option. I'm an expert in a very in demand field - get quoted in articles all the time but have not been able to connect with anyone in academia.
