That you become wealthy on day 1. It takes a very long time to accumulate wealth! Equity has to grow and taxes are significant!
That you will be consulted on how the firm is run.
This is particular of larger firms. With scale comes a need to streamline decision making. You may get to vote on some things but the choice you get is streamlined beforehand without meaningful dialogue every time. This is true of a variety of matters: from by-laws to CEO election.
This.
That it’s a reward for a job well done. It’s not. It’s a responsibility to grow and run a book of business and the firm.
That you can truly make a difference. You can have an impact on a small group of people you supervise, but getting real change at scale is incredibly difficult.
Your autonomy is limited to your book and team and everyone will doubt you when you lose a client even when it’s no fault of your own. The second guessing is wild, all in the name of covering their own asses and hanging you out to dry.
That it’s easier work
The cost of health care and taxes. Also, the various tiers of partners and the mystery behind who gets selected in various leadership roles
Health care is 3k per month for a family. Taxes are 44-52%.
That I learn more about what is going on at my firm from Fish Bowl than directly from the leadership of my firm.
