Which consulting firms allow you to gain equity (options, RSUs, discounted stock, etc) as a part of compensation before making partner? I know ACN does.

If you have equity in a partnership, you are a partner.

most of them nowadays are not true legal partnerships. Big 4 are notable exceptions.

Booz gives 5% discount on stock purchases on up to 15% of your salary. Not really worth it for a variety of reasons. Great performing stock though.

FTI Consulting gives equity to at least some SMDs.

ACN offers a stock purchase program to all levels below MD. Pay in over 6 months, then the purchase is made at 15% off market. You owe taxes immediately on the 15% discount. I'm in the program--it's free money, after all--but the 401(k) match (up to 6% and vested after 2 years) is a much better deal.
Some SMs get stock grants as part of their annual bonus, but my SM says those only go to the SMs who are buddy-buddy with the account MDs.
If you want stock grants, IMO you need to get out of consulting and into tech.

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well. An new job opportunity came up as a Tax Manager but in a different industry which could expand my skillset in different ways, but is not as flexible and the pay is 20k lower. If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?
