Haha, 5 years to what? If you are a superstar and the starts align you can make manager. 10 years is the fastest I can imagine anyone making partner. Honestly haven't seen it in true big 4 advisory. Mostly see faster progression in assurance or tax.

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?

For partners at Big4/ ACN/ other T2 firms:
