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

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
