2. Switch firm and start „fresh“ to avoid struggle of having to convince decision makers at previous firm and change their set beliefs that you are indeed ready for promotion?

Option 1. Sounds like all you need to do is find the right sponsor who is a table pounder amongst their peers.

Thanks. Also want to add that project performance is good and not the issue.

1 seems like the path of least resistance. And by resistance I mean being successful once reaching P

Unless you’re being recruited away to another firm with a clear track to partner id be very wary about switching. Otherwise it looks like you moved because you didn’t think you could make partner.

Btw - I’ve yet to meet a SM who doesn’t think they’re a top performer.

Wanted to know how different is management consulting in the US via-a-vis India?

Background : working as front end consultant in India. Daily routine is opening laptop at 9AM and doing work till 10ish PM, if the project is tight (which it is in majority cases) closing laptop by 1 or 2 am. Travel depends on project. Sr Managers have no sense of personal space in most companies. Money is goood.

How are things in US as I wish to join consulting in US for a few years for int’l exposure
