OP, you need to give us more context. The post the way it is now frankly sounds atrocious - entitled and one-sided. If you had a great sponsor and you left him simply because you didn’t get promoted the first time you were up, there must have been a reason. Did the partner explain why you weren’t promoted?
Seems like you have coped already by leaving?
Confused as to what you’re getting at here.
Perhaps it’s the way the post is written but based on my understanding:
I feel bad for the partner who put so much time, interest and faith in you. That would have been better utilized on another smart but more loyal consultant.
I feel bad for you as since you were given this Golden ticket of support, you’ve failed to realize the struggle that it takes to get this far this fast without the support. You’ve felt entitled to appreciation and acknowledgement and assume all of your advances are merit based, without considering that being on this fast track and having this support played into you and your ideas being noticed at all. You’ve created this grandiose image of yourself and at the first sign you aren’t deemed perfect you decided to leave instead of improve.
Perhaps you’ll learn now OP when you have to start at a more (relatively) even playing field. Good luck OP. No one is perfect. But I doubt this situation can be healed
you sound like a toolbox
Ok Donald
Cool story bro. Get back to work.
Get your head out of your ass to see the beautiful world around you
Wow you sound fun
Is there a question here?
Did you ever think that you may not have been ready for the promotion? Idk, maybe your immature or lacking experience at 28? Also, decision is not up to just 1 partner.
So much negativity here.
Good move OP. Firms will take advantage of you if you’re not fighting for your own career. Partners, get over yourselves and see the lesson here: if your people don’t feel valued or if that’s not communicated effectively, you lose great talent. That’s true for any firm.
I’ve been thinking about this OP. You seem driven to succeed, almost to a fault. So the only path to remediation is to prove your appreciation and loyalty to this partner and create a win-win relationship. Take them to dinner and confess your foolishness and that you jumped the gun. Blame it on being young and hot blooded. Ppl love that And try to rekindle the relationship. Then spend the next few years keeping in touch and adding value by assisting said Partner in making vital relationships with clients / your network. Find a way to prove useful and loyal. It’s a small world, you never know where this could lead. Best case - all/most is forgiven. Worst case- you tried.
Hope this helps. It’s okay OP. I’m sure you did work very hard during you time here, so by correlation you will do well wherever you go. Successful people don’t lose track of each other. Besides it’s lonely at the top

Are you asking how a Partner would handle your disappointing behavior? Likely dust themselves off and get on with it - you don’t get to Partner by being unable to cope with setbacks, leads that don’t pan out, etc. As for you, it sounds like you’ve sacrificed a sponsor for a pay bump. The bump is large enough that if you can find another equally good sponsor in your new job to help you keep growing, you may remain happy with that trade in retrospect. If you don’t, you might not.
Did he suggest that you’d be promoted, or that you were ready? Above manager those discussions need to happen or the promotion probably won’t.
Advice for you is 1) don’t burn bridges, and 2) find a better way to tell the story that sounds less entitled. (“I left for a great opportunity at an early promotion.”).
And by the way, I never do ‘gunpoint’ promotions...if you give the impression you’ll quit if I don’t promote you, I’ll be more likely to hold he door open as you leave than give in.
Just based in this post, I understand why you didn't get promoted. You sound like a jackass.
Partners, has a similar situation happened to you? Has someone you trusted with your dear life to build your practice and bring-in $ ever left the firm over title/money? How do you cope? And sage advice you might offer to the person leaving (e.g. me)?
So proud I shed a tear
What’s the point you trying to make ?
Wonder you leave your conversation with client so abruptly
Let me get this straight: a self entitled 28 year old decides to leave a firm because they were passed over for an early promotion. So, OP, what you’re saying is you elected to make partner 3-5 years later by switching to a new firm. I’m glad to know guys like you exist for those horrible projects I can contract you for to make your life miserable.
