Senior Managers, are you usually very sure about making Partner? Meaning two years into the SM role, do you have a very clear picture of whether or not you can make a run for Partnership?

No. a good percentage of people don’t know if they’ll make it even two years in.

It took me more than 2 years to definitely know I was on partner track. Another bunch at SM and up for partner this year. It’s a journey

Roughly what % of SM make it to partner?

@Op what level are you?

Usually after 1-2 years as SM you should be having very frank conversations with your counselor and other senior partners about setting an official target date (2-3 more years out) and what is expected from you to actually make it happen. EY has the nextgen program that formalizes some of this, and I’m sure other firms have similar

It depends on the firm. Timelines are different. Here, if you are a suitable candidate in a growing practice, it's possible to know 2 years into SM where you stand with regards to partner track. Other firms where you take 7-9 years to make partner probably will start those discussions 3-6 years into SM.

Currently at the SC level and up for Manager. Lifer so far and hoping to keep it that way, just have no idea how the SM to Partnership happens

Holy crap, 7-9 years at SM? You make partner 7-ish years after starting at BCG post MBA; if you haven’t made it by 9 you’re fired
