These are non binding votes so beyond some embarrassment, kpmg is still going to do that audit. But, 140+ Million Audit annuity would be great for any other firm. Per GE’s proxy there are 400 partners servicing the account globally

Not a partner but it these debacles could force us to spin off the audit biz that would be great. For all the risks the firm talks about audit is the single largest threat to the firm. That is true across the entire big4 BTW.

When having career discussions (with a HM or your current boss), how has everyone handled job-titles that weren't "Product Manager" but you were performing the functions/role? I had a role in my past where our formal job title was "Senior Consultant" but we internally referred to ourselves as "Product Leads". I don't want to mislead others.

Is it normal to wait two weeks from a final interview to get an offer regarding a PM role? Kind of nervous to be told by HR the waits a bit longer until other candidates are finished before an offer can be made.
AFAIK the feedback has been positive and the HM has been super nice, but nerves are nerves!

What is the partner compensation like at BDO? Base/equity as well as pension. I heard there is 5 years as fixed partner and then 10 as variable partner before you can earn pension. Say you make partner at 40, so can’t earn pension til 55. If you retire at 55 does that mean all you have is whatever you’ve contributed to 401k or otherwise saved? Or is there a lifetime salary if you’ve been partner a certain duration?
