Looking to change B4 firms (currently at Deloitte). FDD partner with 10 years experience as a partner. Strong book of PE and corporate clients. Thoughts on people being successful in such a move. We don’t see it often, or at all. Does your firm hire direct entry fdd partners? Are the non competes enforced, and what happens the first two years in that case? Just gtm and win over other accounts?

Why do you want to leave?

The firms generally enforce the noncompetes on each other and will expect you to pound the pavement to feed yourself those first two years, unless they just happen to have a huge need for your skills and no internal option. Best way to pierce the non compete is a key client relationship and that client goes to your old firm asking you be released with respect to you doing their work. They’ll have to have some influence over first firm.

Yes the non competes are enforced.

Have the firm courting you work on your non compete. The in house counsel should guide you.

If EY splits, I could see them adding a lot of direct entry FDD partners. That said, shifting firms before you vest in your pension would be a major downside.

There is an opportunity in another office to build out their business in a large industry that I identified. The office has very little client base within the industry. The partners do not have experience in the industry and there are no senior managers or managing directors in that office. As a SM4, how do I go about asking to build out that business with the hope that it’ll build a strong case and accelerate my path to partner?
