Hi partners, do you have an MBA? What are your thoughts about getting an MBA for someone who already works in consulting? Thank you :)

I recently graduated college last year and am trying to pursue certifications to help build up my resume. I currently hold an AWS SAA certification and Azure AZ -900. I am looking to try and obtain the CISSP next. Is there something else I should start with before diving into CISSP or should I direct my studying and focus in that direction?

What is the best way to enter S&O without an MBA but 3-5 years of BIG4 experience?

Left MBB 2 years post Mba to pursue equivalent pay and amazing wlb in a “big old tech” strategy team (think IBM, Dell, HP). I thought boring work would be fine in the context but after 1 year it’s getting to me. How would you think about exit timing to avoid “leaving too fast” but also avoiding becoming branded as an old tech guy? Does the old tech experience look bad for FAANG-like prospects?

What's the consensus on cloud certifications?

I've heard people swear by their AWS certification, saying it's opened a ton of doors for them. Others say they're useless.

OK... I am trying to practice mindfulness. Any hint s or helpful advice to keep me focused and going?

I work my best when I am busy and have upcoming deadlines. It’s either procrastination or just short of it, but I never miss a deadline and clients/partners are consistently happy with my work. I have tried forever to change this but have failed every time. Will this ever change or does this only get reinforced as you move up and keep getting more responsibility? How do you get the proverbial shit done?

Partners, what's something you know now that you wish you knew when you were a Sr. Manager?

Is the partner life worth the struggle? How many of you had serious doubts at the senior manager / principal level but pushed through? How happy are the ones that bailed?

Did you become a Partner as a second career (aka industry hire Partner)? How has your experience been? Would you recommend it?

Is it true life expectancy for partners is pretty low?

Question for some of the senior partners on this bowl: do you mind sharing what does the the top end of partner comp look like? Is it like 2-3M annually? And how many years it took you to get there after becoming partner?

Partners please I need some motivation. 🔥How much should I expect to make if I work my butt off for the firm for at least 13+ years and blessed to make Partner one day?

Spend so much time managing people’s feelings and mood to get work or get work done. So exhausting, I am ok with machines replacing us all.

What’s your advice to improve one’s executive presence?

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?

Boutique partners: do you have the opportunity to buy more shares over time?

EY MD 🐠 , I’m a newly promoted MD and have a few questions on comp timelines I’m hoping you can help answer since there have been 0 comms to MDs on this 😔:
1. I’ve heard we don’t find out new salaries until mid-Aug with others below PP. Given others new comp doesn’t start until Oct, do you know if that’s when our new comp starts too even though our new titles are already effective?
2. Does the MD rating/comp timeline continue to follow the timeline for others going forward after the first yr?

Hi Partners! Last year when there was no bonus etc, it was my best year in EY and I actually made more money at EY compared to my previous years or this year(including the bonus and raise this year). Also keep feeling like I have been taken granted and not valued. I also don’t feel mentally challenged with what I am actually doing, just burning out. Want to have this conversation with the team. Any tips?
