I’ve been noticing an uptick in job postings for partner roles at national and regional firms. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Boomer retirements. Many more of these to come.

PwC 3 - what are you talking about? You seem like the dude that always has to bring politics into anything and everything. Get real lol.

Firms are growing, boomers are retiring, and the millennials are all leaving for more money and Work life balance. You can push people along at staff level and get by. but pretty bad for business if you promote people that aren’t ready for partner.

That said, I think bigger issue is that people are leaving earlier and earlier, lowering the available pool for internal promo to partner, because the Public Acct industry, no matter how much it talks about WLB, is pretty 💩. The industry as a whole needs to make a change at this point and stop bending over and taking it from clients with the excuse of “well, that’s professional services for ya 🤷🏼‍♂️”

Yes, which also makes me wonder - why aren’t they promoting from within? Did the senior managers all leave? 🤔

We are hiring a lot of partners as well. Usually it’s to expand our skill sets. We are still promoting from within at normal rates. But in order for us to grow we have to bring in talent in areas we haven’t already had. So it’s more for strategic growth.

maybe for specialty practices they are trying to grow? if for audit then I agree would seem something is amiss

Yeah we are burned out and everyone thinks we do nothing and get paid all the $$, so we are quitting!

Hi Fishes,

Is there a minimum tenure that one has to serve in ZS to ask for office transfers? (within India)

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!

Any recommendations for good videographers in NYC/Tri-State? A lot of the affordable ones I find make the cheesiest videos. I’ve certainly found some good ones but very expensive. I know you get what you pay for, but there has to be someone reasonably priced out there that delivers quality work. I am splurging on the photographer so this would just be an extra.
