I am deeply influenced by the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) principles.. wondering.. have people seen young partners (say A level partners) retire after a couple years? How does it affect pension for such partners?
Context: I'm trying to retire in the next 10-12 years.. which (if i stay in consulting) will probably be y2 or so as PPMD. Trying to gather some historical precedence info from the expert here!Deloitte

Definitely not black and white. I use to think the exact same thing. Not anymore.
Timing is huge and so I jumping companies. I hate the idea of jumping companies but the numbers don't lie. You get paid more to jump especially if you time it right. But the jumping will also require more developing in you network. So pros and cons.
If stayimg at the same company and grinding it out, you need to make sure you get noticed for the right things. How do you get noticed. You strategically toot your own horn. How do you know what is the right thing to focus on. That's the hardest part. Figure out what the decision maker want and do that.
At big companies there is so many factors that happen above your head and above your bosses head. That raises and promos ofter have to align with the boarder service line as well as your performance. And even then sometimes it's just a quota on who gets a good review.
What you're saying makes a lot of sense, and it reflects reality. Things in one's career are often not linear, and a lot of success can be attributed to chance. You may happen to hear of an opening and things work out great. Or you wind up in the right niche. Coincidence can often play a role.
There is money, but it isn’t as black and white as I thought, either. You have to make strategic moves. Sticking around one company forever is an artifact. Plan and make moves for what works.
