What’s the difference in MBB partner pay vs. B4?

Saw a job posting for a new dept in a company I want to work for-I am shallowly acquainted with the owner from 15yrs ago and we have messaged each other 2x on LinkedIn over the years. He is a multi billionaire. I am thinking about reaching out to him to ask about the department with the intent to be considered for hire.

Why wouldn’t it work? Trying to hear different perspectives for and against partner job sharing?
