Dude, do your best to not specialize in risk & reg. At PwC (and other firms) the group is struggling with the market changes (decrease in consulting budget, "rationalization" initiatives, ...). I might be wrong, but think that risk&reg consulting will become smaller and smaller. Even though you might be able to survive on "rationalization projects" for the next couple of years, I don't think it will be an easy ride to partnership (as it was for the past decade or so).
If you're thinking about going to industry, 2nd and 3rd lines are the biggest targets for said rationalization projects, and you'll likely be on the receiving end...

Every other week, I think of leaving B4 Partnership and do something different like working for a big tech or a startup or even start my own business. I am not too much worried about sacrificing my yearly income but leaving the pension on the table is too much of a bitter pill to swallow. I am 13 years away from retirement and been a Partner for 7 years. More time I spend here, I get less motivated (financially) to leave. Did anyone of you deal with this dilemma successfully? Thanks!

Partners - could you provide some insight how much big 4 partners make? Whether you're in big 4 or not - pretty sure you'd have an idea. Maybe give some kind of a range of what new partners earn ? Just want to know if it's worth it getting to the top.

Also would love to hear your opinion if years of slogging it upward is actually worth it. Do you feel partnership is everything you thought it would be ? (Prestige, money, status, etc)?

Thanks in advance !
