When did you make partner? What’s the average at your firms (age or YOE in consulting)? On the one hand, I feel like the average age/tenure is going up, but this may vary from MBB, big4, boutique, etc. thanks for fueling my curiosity!

33. Not sure what the average age is but anecdotally I agree with you - it certainly seems to have gone up.

Made Principal at 34 in 2020. Next youngest person I knew from the US in my cohort was 36/37 with the vast majority in the 38-42 age range. I’d say it’s continuing to skew older especially over the last couple years.

I made it at 30, but that was exceptionally early at my firm. Most of my peer partners are 15+ years older, and the average age of new partner promotions is 40+ yo. Market is tough these days, so fewer partner promotions, and usually those have been in the industry for a long time and built networks, etc.

35 after 13 years at the firm shortly after undergrad. In other practices, it’s possible to make in 8-10 years so around 30. My practice trends longer path / older since most clients are older.
