You can cruise as a MD in the group.
Or you could take an actual operating role down the road.

Partner or MD depending on the firm. Or CEO of a company

This is accurate and, honestly, why I got into consulting post MBA. You likely don't go straight to CEO, but stay for the duration of the hold and do well - then off to another company.

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE. People may arrive at different destinations at different times while being on the almost similar path.

Has anyone ever asked to be taken off of an account or project? For months, I've been working with the most difficult client with the most vicious attitude. Most of what they're frustrated about isn't even our fault. I was recently promoted and don't want to make myself look bad, but the thought of doing more work for them makes my stomach turn. Is this a valid reason to be taken off a project? I'm not used to working with such rude people.

Stupid question. In the H&S salary report, are the splits by size of the fund based on the fund itself or the PE firm? For example, Blackstone has 800b+ aum but any specific fund within Blackstone manages something less like let’s say it’s a $30b fund or a new fund that’s only raised $2b so far? Would the salary report be based on the company level aum or the specific fund (even if it’s a brand new fund that hasn’t raised much within a larger firm)? My guess is the latter or somewhere between.
