I know a very low percentage of people who start at big4 make partner, but how common Is it for people to think they will make partner, stick it out, and eventually be told it’s never going to happen for them? Trying to figure out how many don’t make it cause they can’t vs self selection out

Being an MD is not bad. A little less pressure.

If you do what you’re told to do and pro-actively manage your career, which includes making sure you’re currently in or planning a switch to a service line with the enough revenue and growth to justify new PPMDs, you should at least make MD. No guarantee of partner/principal.
