I think people who “kiss” their dogs/pet on their mouths are disgusting

Currently in NYC. I have a good book, but no partner. I was told I won't be able to find a decent job without a partner. True?

Been working at an agency my whole career and the breakneck speed of work stresses me out. Would love to hear about the day in the life of someone in-house. I can’t decide if I want to switch environments or just pivot my career away from marketing at this point.

Partners- At what point in your career did you feel like you had financially “made it”?

Tips to build my brand and network as a junior practitioner navigates their career to the next level at the firm?

Partners with kids and a working spouse, how do you manage? Is it realistic for both people in the relationship to work full time long term? How do you keep marriage going and career progressing?

Partners,

My firm is immature in guiding development planning. I have energy to accelerate to the next level of responsibility.

What evidence distinguishes an analyst as ready for the next level?

Partners, need some career advice. I'm in a niche BU at a big 4 focusing on risk related to certain cutting edge innovations in my industry (intentionally being vague). I'm being heavily recruited by a competitor firm to jump. I have just over 6 YOE, looking to promote in a little over a year (which would still be early at my current firm). To clarify, I'm not looking to leave, but will never say never. Firm looking to poach talks big game RE comp (potential to double my high 100s salary). Cont.

Great discussion board

PPMDs, what tips you would give if your client is a Member Firm? I am an incoming project manager, lateral hired from industry. Please share your thoughts about how to make an impact from day 1.

Partners, what's been the impact to ongoing sales conversations? Do you think we're all screwed for the year?

Lateral hire, having an intro call with a Director at my new firm in an industry I want to join. How do I make sure I don’t waste their time with silly or redundant questions?

Partners - do recruiters/headhunters ever reach out to you? What types of roles/levels do they reach out for?

When you independently search for other opportunities (if you do), what types of roles do you look for?

Anyone got the skinny on Alix consulting?

Got pinged by a recruiter for an MD role in digital transformation

He claims they compete with MBB and Alvarez.

Thoughts?

Does the concept of local and high value role exist is Deloitte, Accenture or PWC?... been consulting for 13 yrs

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?

Fellow 🐠 - What qualities would you look for in a junior practitioner (0-5 years experience)? I’m updating a JD and would appreciate your collective inputs. TIA

Just got promoted, still not satisfied with the comps - will it be received poorly if I ask for my compensation to be readjusted based on competing offers ? I have 3 that are at least 30% higher...CNT

PwC is getting a lot of hate out there :(

What are the benefit differences between an equity partner and a non-equity partner (e.g. managing director)?

Partner is pissed at me & judging everything because we disagreed on a deliverable. I was at fault at not giving what was needed even though we disagreed. I respect them, how to fix the relationship?

Big4 partners, do you feel the journey has been worth it when gauging by the variables of money, family, sphere of influence, and happiness? Or industry still seems more alluring? Thanks for your wisdom.
