I work at a small public accounting firm.

I heard a few partners are going to be retiring in the next 4 years. There are only a few CPAs that are managers.

I don't have a CPA yet but plan on getting it soon so I can at least get my foot in at this opportunity which the firm would be at transitional period with succession planning. How would you know if you're going to be partner or on partner track?

The succession plan with small firms is often to sell the firm to a larger firm.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm.

For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.
