I have been approached about the partner level at Roland Berger in the US. Can anyone provide insight on how the firm has fared the past 2-5 years? Last I remember, they had significantly shrank their US operations. For context I did 8 years at a Tier 2 (Ops/Mfg for F&B/Chemicals) before leaving for a client role in industry 4 years ago. I’ve been thinking about eventually going back to consulting as the kids get older. But that was abstract without any real timing thought out yet.

How did your process go? Any key insights to share? I've a similar story to yours. Wondering if anyone or you, could provide some guidance/insights on comp. structure. What is reasonable for a MBB firm or RB, first time partner?

I would suggest the first question is what expertise do you bring or are you a more generalized labor in the ranks? Then it’s how this partner or other partners in that sector/client has performed versus the overall Firm.

Do u have clients to get projects from clients obviously, can you deal with rotating cast of underlings, busy Hours from it, and who do you report to?

I know a few folks from other regions who recently left RB and said it was imploding, but might not be widespread so take it for that it's worth

Thank you for the input. I’ve been generally skeptical based on closer contacts who used to be there, but they left about 7-10 years ago.

I’m thinking I will go their process and see how they respond to questions. And if it goes that far, get a better understanding of the partner financials and structuring.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
