Looking for unbiased advice from Big 4 partners. As an experienced SM at EY in the pipeline for partner in two years, would I be better off jumping ship to another Big 4 now (delaying the promotion for at least a year or two in the process), targeting a direct admit role at a mid tier firm or staying put knowing I won’t make nearly as much as a MD in NewCo. I’ve talked to several partners and none of have been able to articulate how us heavy SMs aren’t getting screwed over.

Pregnant with my 1st, and a very career oriented gal, but will have no family nearby ever.
