Is it possible to be “partner track” without drinking the Kool Aid? More appropriately, to be a senior that sticks around until manager?

You ain’t partner track if you a senior

A lot of people make it to manager and leave right after. I wouldn’t say they drink the koolaid.

Can you elaborate on the Kool Aid and which floor has it?

Not all seniors and managers are partner material. The important thing isn’t whether they drank the Koolaid, but whether they did good work .

I feel like it would be hard to stick it out for that long without drinking the Kool-Aid?

Careful. Might be koolaid... could be a carrot on the stick. 🥕

We had a senior manager work 16 years (entire career) with this firm only get bumped to Director. Became a partner at a rival firm.

Another SM has 19+ years (also entire career) with the firm just made Director. Still waiting in the parking lot.

Figuring out partner track at BDO = finding Big Foot
