I am a Senior Associate in the Management Consulting team at PwC AC.

One of my managers consistently underperforms—his weekly output is equivalent to what should be completed in a single day. This has been an ongoing issue for over a year. Despite raising concerns with the Senior Manager, we have only been told that discussions are happening.

As a result, my fellow Senior Associate and I are forced to work significantly longer hours to ensure projects remain on track.

What can we tackle this?

Switch to Accenture, Deloitte or other top tier firms. Anyways pwc pays all of us less money that n the competitors. Go where you earn more

I think Deloitte pays less for SA level role as compared to pwc. D could be at 28-33 and PwC could go high till 35 at SA.
Accenture pays more (40+) for consultant level of same exp as SA

Moving around underperforming people is a difficult task because of limited resources within the firm. MCs dont have "bench strength". Finding a person with right skills who is willing to work on your project and is available is a difficult task.

In fact it is much easier in professional services firm than say manufacturing because of the higher attrition rate in the former.

So first of all, recognize that you are in a better position than most people.

Second, upper management is always in a pinch in such cases. For them client relations take higher priority than resource management. Unless this becomes a client relation issue, it will never become a priority 1 issue.

Lastly, you need to ask yourself if you are willing to make this a client relations issue and risk your career with the firm. Easiest way to do that is stop working "significant no of hours" and communicate this change to HR, SM, PM, etc. with a genuine reason and keep your fingers crossed.

MBB AP about to exit to non-FAANG tech. Would you expect a signing bonus and/or pre-determined severance pay if things don't work out with the new company? Anything else that people have negotiated during their exit? I'd be leaving a large amount of bonus on the table to leave before the end of the year.

I’m currently an LLC and looking to assemble an equity deal with an advisor.

It doesn’t make sense for us to switch now and get double taxed when we haven’t lifted off the ground. This is pre launch. Any advice?
