Lately I have seen a lot of leadership coaching ads popping up on various social media source. They talk about coaching on Leadership roles like VP, Director. Have anyone tried leadership coaching. How helpful do you think they are?

Some thoughts:
1. As you can imagine, this is a space that is relatively easy to get into, so it would be important to make sure the person has the right credentials and references. I would do your due diligence. Most folks I have run into it are frankly not that impressive.
2. In my opinion, consulting and professional services in general is a unique industry and even within that MBB vs B4 are unique. So if you’re looking for broader help with let’s say soft skills, that experience may not matter as much. But if you’re looking for help navigating, etc, I’d make sure they have that expertise and at the right level. Eg someone who left as a Manager would not be able to help you navigate going up for Partner.
3. Whatever it is you’re looking for, I’d encourage you to make sure you cannot get that within the firm for free. It takes time to find the right people sometimes, and it’s not always the right solution, but I have also seen it work well for many folks.

Thanks for the candid reply P1. A lot of these are not that impressive

Generally poor experience with leadership coaching. You might find taking a critical eye to your own situation to be just as effective.

Current expectations set at 140-160k. Reasonable?

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

If a firm has multiple openings that you’re interested in, is it a good or bad idea to apply to more than one position? I’m a third year interested in retooling from lit to general corp, but they prefer someone with 3+ years of corporate experience. They’re also looking for an M&A with 1+ years, so it may be easier to aim for that, but I’ve heard horror stories re WLB for M&A. Would still try it out tho bc I’m desperate to leave lit, but don’t want to make a faux pas. Any insights appreciated!

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
