Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

He claims they compete with MBB and Alvarez.

What was the first thing you did once you become partner? I am assuming heavy pressure on selling more than what you were selling before?

Partners and MDs - a partner is trying to recruit me into a new practice they are building out. They have senior leadership support but still facing uphill political battle. It'll be a good opportunity for my path to partner if the new practice is a success. But I'm very much concerns about the downside risk. What would you suggest I consider before making the decision? A small/mid size firm if that matters

Discuss the pros and cons of a partner who boomeranged out to industry and came back vs. a partner who’s a consulting lifer. Who does better in the long run?

T3 firm reached out re: direct admit to the partnership with some runway to grow the practice. I am at a firm now where there aren’t bright line metrics to make PPMD, but think I could make it in 2-5 years. This would be a step down in brand, but might be better from a WLB and getting to start at partner. Haven’t had firm comp talks yet but range was well north of 50% increase in cash comp from current (plus LT equity, draws, etc). Anyone take $ over brand? what are some traps to watch for?

Big4 partners, do you feel the journey has been worth it when gauging by the variables of money, family, sphere of influence, and happiness? Or industry still seems more alluring? Thanks for your wisdom.

So, Partners... What's your spending breakdown like? Curious to see what expenses y'all have. # of yrs as Partner may also help.
