Question for partners who had or have an entrepreneurial itch. Do you find being a progressional services partner scratches the entrepreneurial itch or at least gives you a large sense of autonomy/satisfaction? Does this change based on size of firm? Eg I suspect boutiques would feel a lot more entreprenurial than a Big 4. Thank you and looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Advice for getting over feelings of jealousy? Also related for me, how can I learn to be indifferent to people I don’t like… rather than actively dislike them? I feel jealous feelings only when it’s someone I don’t like. I want to get over both feelings… learn to be truly indifferent to others. I try to tell myself I shouldn’t care, but so far I am yet to feel it. On the inside I do know it bothers me.

I’m an industry senior, manager is retiring in 2 months & new tax director is joining this week. Have been at company for 15 months. Considering talking to HR & new director for a plan to grow my career at this company; company is growing & likely we will need 2 more ppl at associate/senior levels (we have 1 associate). What is a realistic time frame to set for promotion to manager & what goals should I be setting? Company is tiered partnership, acquiring new businesses & operates multi-state.

I do things (late nights/weekends) that I don't think my managers/partner knows about since everything is running well - directly correlated with elected hours spent. Is it weird to bring this up?

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?

If there is a sought after Director for a practice being built up at PwC. Has there ever been a time that a director can go straight to partner if they have an external offer that is quite compelling ?

Partners, what's something you know now that you wish you knew when you were a Sr. Manager?

Hey Big 4 Partners, given independence constraints, I assume you buy investment properties. do you believe this to be superior to buying stocks, and what do you do to educate yourself in this process?

Is the partner life worth the struggle? How many of you had serious doubts at the senior manager / principal level but pushed through? How happy are the ones that bailed?

I’m currently a 5th year senior manager at EY - and the path to PP seems to be an uphill battle with very limited slots available in next few years- primarily because we hired many DAPs last year. With my desire to make partner, I’m considering to make the move to ACN- what level can I reasonably come in at? I know there are many factors but curious of everyone’s perspectives.

@Partners - Is it possible for your firm to match a competing offer? How would one best approach this?

Boutique partners: do you have the opportunity to buy more shares over time?

I work my best when I am busy and have upcoming deadlines. It’s either procrastination or just short of it, but I never miss a deadline and clients/partners are consistently happy with my work. I have tried forever to change this but have failed every time. Will this ever change or does this only get reinforced as you move up and keep getting more responsibility? How do you get the proverbial shit done?
