Hi Partners! I am sure there were many moments in your career where you thought of leaving for an industry job or try something different (tax specifically). What made you stay and do you have any regrets in not trying a different path? Or are you happy with your choice to stay?

Regret-free!

Totally at this point now…. In business consulting and looking to maybe get out of the consulting game. It’s not for everyone and the politics can be exhausting.

I agree with PWC 1. Different game.
Also, some places are more political than others. I found EY to be very much so. But every place isn’t.

If partners move from one firm to another, what exactly the new firm they join gains from them? I don’t think partners will be able to take clients and business with them while moving between the firms. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi there, Partners.

I'm an associate who wants to make Partner one day but whenever I talk about "career advancement" with my Partner I get the "don't rush it, it's all merit based"

I'm aware of the business goals of my organization and the different ways one should contribute to said goals. That being said, should I keep looking for the conversation to express my desire to, one day, be considered for Partnership? Should I keep grinding and save it for when I make Consultant?

Thank you

Partners, what is your experience dealing with HR? I’ve recently felt like partners are increasingly becoming powerless from a talent perspective(advocating for raises and promotions etc) as the firms are all growing… essentially more bureaucracy and more powerful HR departments - and honestly it feels like the HR talent is mediocre at best compared to the high performing talent that these firms staff in their projects… hope to be proved wrong or just not have the right perspective
