At PwC they are phasing out the MD role. In the past though it was only really used if someone wasn’t going to be a partner for other reasons (one prime example would be someone who joined the firm later in life and wouldn’t have enough years before partner retirement)

That was my impression as well. Thank you for the comment.

I don’t know that they are phasing out but in client service in Assurance they don’t make sense in the PCAOB realm. They are still being made support roles (Inspections, Chief Auditor Network, etc)

Agreed ☝🏻. Should have clarified to say that in Tax they are phasing out the role in the practice offices. To answer OPs question, no, most people don’t have the “MD or Partner” option

Scenario, interviewing a candidate that has great experience for the role however candidate has a lot of tattoos. Nothing crazy or derogatory, would you pass on him/her? Not a customer service job either. Specially manufacturing…. Have you ever passed on a candidate because of tattoos?

Hi All,
I wish to join one of the top consulting firms like McKinsey, BCG, B&C etc. I am currently working as a Business Analyst with a work ex of 3 years.
I have started exploring on my own and one thing that came out different were Case Studies interviews and I have started reading and preparing for them.
I will do MBA also post working in one of these firms.
I was hoping if anyone can help me to prepare better or suggest a plan to land a job for a role that aligns with my ambitions.
Thank You

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
