If there is a sought after Director for a practice being built up at PwC. Has there ever been a time that a director can go straight to partner if they have an external offer that is quite compelling ?

Basically that offer would be 1st year partner salary and build off that ? Or PwC likes to stick to it's process and only other option is down the road consider direct Admit partner?

In this hypothetical situation, the answer is MD promotion. PwC will not flex its partner admission process.

yeah I figured as much but MD just wouldn't cut it for me considering the external role is partner in a non Big-4 firm that is specific to my industry. But worth asking to see if anyone has heard

What’s the other place?

It's pretty specific to my experience. If I said it - basically would be extremely easy to find who I am at PWC as there are really only handful of people that sell the specific offerings

@OP when did you make it to Director? If more than a couple years ago, may be a strong case to consider in the next 18 months

I was hired in as a senior director with the promise of partner in 2 years. It's been 2 years and I delivered on what I said I would do. Now they are telling me PCLDE next summer (or summer after - feel like a carrot being dangled in front of me which I don't appreciate anymore) which would make it another 3 years ..

This external role that I have been offered pays a lot more than I make now, and is very specific to my industry and in end will compete against PWC - so if they were to say we can get you to partner I would consider sticking around but not for MD as I would be a partner at the other firm.

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?
