Random thought but I was comparing how bougie partners at Big four or MBB firms are vs. Specialized Doctors snd Dentists, cause I know a lot of them from family and friends. I always felt that partners who are leading offerings and tenured don’t show off as much as MDs do. I don’t see them wearing fancy watches and driving extravagant cars as much, but I noticed Doctors and specialized dentists like Ortho, Perio etc show off a lot more when they get together.

Any thoughts?

It’s due to so many years of delayed gratification and staying in school for too long before getting professional experience. A lot of doctors don’t choose to pay off their loans quickly and instead feel the urge to splurge right after their income jumps 5-10x post residency. They also don’t work in the “real world” until their late 20s and not often in big team scenarios. Corporate folks build up to a 300k+ income gradually over time, so spending habits are probably more controlled.

Yeah like my first year at $75K Fresh out of college, I saved zero dollars and then I started to improve my spending habits

It's because doctors have more friends with similar incomes. If you're a doctor, chances are everyone you went through med school with ends up having a good income. Whereas if you're a partner at MBB, you don't necessarily know that many other wealthy people outside of your coworkers and your friends from university aren't necessarily as successful as you are.

Hmm, don‘t know enough of doctors to really observe a trend. I know a few but they are very down to earth. I know partners who are down to earth but also others who have a corvette. So my initial guess would be that it‘s just a very limited n

idk. the partners may be just not able to enjoy as much. I know dentists very personally as well as orthopedic specialists. they have way better wlb and pay better than base as partner at mbb. but some college fair recruiter convinced me the 8-11 life was for me 🥲

carry in a fund vc/ge/pe.

Also, once you factor in how long med school takes and costs, I imagine an MBB/Big 4 partner would have much higher lifetime earnings than an MD.
