99% of people are not going to be partner. And that’s ok. You can still be rich without equity and you will be less stressed because it’s not your business

It varied throughout my career. Up through midmanager it was my goal. Hit a phase as manager I wasn’t sure. Director was the continued roller coaster but worse. I’d say there were weeks -2 days I was about to quit, -2 I was neutral, 1 I was like go for partner ( this general went in this order starting on Monday). There’s so many variables in it. There’s no threshold anything is for sure either way

Partner 1, did you have a business case and a sponsor helping you?

Director 1 not in the manager/early director years. I was in the process when I did a direct admit at another firm. It was a guarantee and skipped the hazing process 🤷‍♀️

That sounds good to me.
