Is McKinsey’s partnership structure & requirement different to other big 4? If people at 29 become partners, aren’t there too many partners by now? How’s it sustainable ?

I believe average tenure of a MBB partner is 3 years, meaning it’s still up or out. B4 is pretty metrics driven (at least at PwC) but once you’re in it’s more difficult to fire and the expectation is that you’re there for awhile

29 may be the bare min age and not mean age? Secondly Its up or out culture. Lastly, the size of the org matters as well? Thoughts?

MBBs and B4s have different comp structures for partners. B4 is backloaded and current partners pay for retired partners, although that is changing.

Which firm is that being offered? I’m unaware of that for any of the B4 in the US.

It’s not like B4 with the lifelong pension and “tenure track” type of model Very common for partners to leave and join high profile industry jobs that are more lucrative than MBB partnership.

B1: Out of curiosity, what are the high profile industry roles you are talking about? I assumed that MBB partner pay is the one sole motivator for people to stick around.

Why do you think having young partners inconsistent with having an appropriate pyramid structure (by that I mean having a good ratio of partners to consultants)?
