Started consulting later (35) currently 39 & SM. I was due to go up for D last cycle but delayed for personal reasons. If not promoted this year, I’d likely make D at 41, and with firms often keeping Directors there for 5–6 years now, I’m wondering if the partnership path is still worth it.

For those who started later, are you still aiming for partner, or choosing industry for higher pay with equity?

I’m in my 40s and currently Manager. Prob D next year or 2 years and I personally don’t want to do Partner/Principal. In 10 years, I want to be thinking about winding down and doing flexible hours (my firm allows us to choose our working hours if we don’t want to be full time)

Not sure how partnership works at PwC but for our firm, you would want to be in that role min 10 years to get your money worth. Don’t let age be the thing that stops you, if that’s the path you want to pursue.

In the US, we go from SM directly to PMD; 1) Partner/Principal (equity), or 2) Managing Director (non equity). The firm recently introduced some new career designations to offer more career choices.

Yes ours is also 10 years. We go SM > D > P or MD.

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes. In downtime, go through your notes and come up with questions by reperforming old work. Set up recurring question sessions with your team so you know what to do next time. Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance

Does anyone know how to go about providing a writing sample to a potential new employer while going through the application process, without letting on to my current team that I am applying for a new job? I understand I would need permission to use a redacted memorandum or document I’ve written during my time a PwC, but to ask for permission to use one of my writings as a sample would basically admit that I’m applying to another job. What is the appropriate thing to do in this situation ?

A former client director colleague has gone in-house as CMO. They are now asking me (currently ECD) to join and set up an agency-like creative team to up-level everything from brand to sales materials. It's a good mgmt opp and good creative is a definite possibility, but I'm conflicted. Aency BS would be nice to step away from, but I think I'm still bought into the notion that agencies are superior and in-house is where washed-up creatives go to die. Any regrets from those that made the jump?

What will be the case if client doesn't like my performance.

Will they release me from there project before contract ends or any action in terms of termination from job will be taken by client or Nagarro.

Just wanted to know, has anyone went through this kind of situation???
