What’s the best route to getting to Partner? Boomerang or loyalty/longevity?

Also curious if people get hired as Partners from outside the firm or if you have to be an SM in your firm first?

From what I’ve seen and been told definitely boomerang if you’re not MBB/T2. Others have such slow progression.

Yes, you can hired as a DEP (direct entry partner), but it’s not easy and the success rate is mixed. Best route is longevity (that being said, I was a DEP and I have no regrets…but most of the other DEPs who were hired when I was didn’t last).

I think boomerang is the best route, but coming in before partner. From what I’ve seen - start as a consultant, go into industry for about 8-10 years, come back for a year or two before making partner.

That being said the fastest route, if you can make it, is staying and grinding. I think boomerangs would be “average” pace at best. The quickest, albeit very few, is longevity.

When should a teammate go to management or HR about their partner not collaborating or contributing?

Weird question, I know, but I’ve been paired with someone who doesn’t collaborate, show initiative, communicate, know how to be a teammate, or honestly.. try at all.

We’re both new (since fall), so i had to uncomfortably call them out. I’m hoping things improve but I’m not holding my breath. I’m sure our coworkers recognize my effort, but I’m not letting this person drag me down. Please advise.
