Outside of the B4, does “principle” mean equity owner? I’ve seen “principal consultants” who were definitely not partner level.

Outside the B4, “principle” means a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.

Well, actually it means that within the B4 as well.

Sincerely,
A Principal

Hello fishes,

I believe we need to discuss on this matter as share our experiences and knowledge around this important topic..

Now as the world recession is around the corner and Indian markets and people's jobs are also getting affected.

What will be the right choice

To stay in a good service base company? Where you can be assigned to another project if your company lost your existing project due to budget issue.

Or

A good product based company? Where the product is very strong.

What are some of the most influential factors which helped shape your career and led to a successful rise up to PPMD level ?

I am being recruited by McKinsey. I am just starting the process so who knows what will happen. In the summer I had an offer from EY, which was good, but I actually felt like my role at ACN was just too good to leave. However Mck seems to focus on really interesting problems to solve. My questions to other partners out there - if you left another firm to go to Mck, why? If you considered an offer but decided to stay where you are, why? Don’t want to waste people’s time if I’m better off at ACN

Im a fourth year partner. The clients are good, workload is manageable, have a great team and a great boss. But I'm just not motivated to go and kill it anymore. It just feels more of the same thing. Also, I keep having a feeling that I could be doing a lot more if I were in a startup or in a different corporate role. The only reason that stops me from doing any of this is that money here is good and I worked really hard to get here. Any advice?
