Make life easy for those around you and the level right above you. When you succeed at something, spread that around and give credit to everyone around you. Always take the high road. Make sure the firm always needs you more than you need them. Remember that no one will remember the "things" you did at work. They will remember how you treated them.

Obviously get along with everyone (internal and external), and sell. Bring in $ and demonstrate you can do it year after year and you will get there

What is the partner compensation like at BDO? Base/equity as well as pension. I heard there is 5 years as fixed partner and then 10 as variable partner before you can earn pension. Say you make partner at 40, so can’t earn pension til 55. If you retire at 55 does that mean all you have is whatever you’ve contributed to 401k or otherwise saved? Or is there a lifetime salary if you’ve been partner a certain duration?

Are there any additional tax deductions that Partners can claim compared to regular employees? I hear of business owners being able to deduct so many expenses that corporate W2 employees cannot deduct. Since a partner is the owner of a firm, do they get the more expense deductions that regular employees do not get?

For partners at Big4/ ACN/ other T2 firms:
Does your WLB improve after you make partner but stress levels increase since you are responding for revenue and for people. But in terms of delivery it’s the M/SM/D handling the work and the long hours?
Is that an unfair assessment? Is it a false goal to aspire to to become a partner?
