You can only be a partner (junior or senior) if you buy in.

This link helps explain the topic pretty well, of course the salary and buy-in amounts in Singapore and US/UK will be different.

Best case:

25 - Start work in Big4 as an associate
27 - Promoted to Senior Associate after 2 years as Associate
30 - Promoted to Manager after 3 years as SA/AM
33 - Super achiever, promoted to Senior Manager/Associate Director after 3 years as Manager
36 - Super achiever again, proposed to Director after 3 years as SM/AD
38 - Offered partnership

But this is really much fast tracked/super achiever status, can sell very well or have connections to make sales.

Most will probably be SM/AD or D for 5-6 years, so you are really looking at early to mid 40s for partnership for most people who decide to slog it out.
