Why would a move from Big 4 to McK or OW be a step down?!!

like

Assuming OP is already a Partner, they could be giving up a lot of deferred compensation if they left their Big4 partnership.

I assume by exec you mean an internal role?

I’m confused how OP thinks McK or OW is a step down from Big 4 lol...maybe IBM but definitely not those first two

It’s only step down if you run huge P&L and go in at line partner role or some support role
