Off topic: I am stuck in a service based company for last 4 years in a shitty project. The work I do can be done by a 12th grader. Now i want to move out by learning something new & changing my domain. But the thing is I am not able to study because I am stuck in a comfort zone and learning new thing gives me bad anxiety. It feels like I will never learn & be forever stuck here. Pls help on how to come out of comfort zone, learn things and apply for the job. Tata Consultancy Infosys Wipro

I wouldn’t worry about taking an extra lap in either scenario. My understanding is that it’s ~2-3 years before being admitted to PCLDE, and then another ~3 to Partner. You should know where you stand along the way.
You find out that you’re going into the Destination phase in late summer / early fall (August / September). Your sponsor should be communicating this to you.
It’s worse to go into destination and then get told you’re not going to make it. That usually means that something structural is wrong or the business can’t support another partner.
Sorry - what is PCLDE?
This is PwC specific
The number of people who get told to take another lap in Destination are very very low. ~5% or less. By the time you make it to Destination, you’ve already been vetted by your team and your platform several times. At that point, you are in, except for a few rare occurrences such as
1) In spite of all the vetting your business case is not solid (extremely rare)
2) You have major independence violations
3) You have an ethics violation
4) There is a major downturn in the winter of the year you are in Destination and a decree comes from leadership to cut numbers
