Partners, directors, controllers, CFOs, etc. out there: at what point in your career did you realize that you were going to accomplish such a high position? I’m staff 1 and feel confident in myself, but don’t know if I have the qualities to move so high up. I wonder what your experiences were just starting out

AD 1 that is so great to hear. As a 25 year partner at PwC retiring on 6/30/21 it’s refreshing to hear such positive comments. Regardless of which firm you are with I wish you continued success as you move towards potential partnership.

Cheers to AD1 and PwC 1. These are the people I’ve been lucky enough to work with and for, and that made it an inspiring place to make a career.

When I was an associate I felt like I could have a long career with the firm just comparing myself to my colleagues. When I became a senior associate and discovered how much I enjoyed the job and how little stress I felt about the job compared to my colleagues I realized that I could probably become a partner in the firm. Nine years in and I still love the job and feel like it is not that stressful. I am more confident than ever that I will be a partner at the firm.

Good to hear. Cynicism, in my opinion, doesn’t reflect well on you. The humor is more flattering.

McKinsey internal offer. Am level before partner at small boutique firm. Work in tiny but hot area (non-strategy). No desire to make partner as I don’t enjoy selling. Fewer YOE than most at my level. Exp mostly at small companies except for a B4/ACN. No MBA, masters from an Ivy but a less competitive program. Offer is similar to other industry offers in the past but haven’t looked recently.

In the past I’ve worked in consumer lending and have been trying to get back into that field of work.

Does anyone know of any potential work from home and/or office positions open for consumer lending with good pay and benefits? I’m a quick learner, knowledgeable and hard working.
