That is why jhk will always pwn sinkie because of their short sightedness.

Sigh I guess you're one of those kumgongs who drank too much Big4 Kool Aid and believe that partnership is guaranteed and can be attained just by outlasting other people.

This has been repeated many many times here: the progression model in Big 4 is LITERALLY BUILT around attrition, and leaving only a very small handful of candidates at the end of the day, to have a reasonable shot at partnership.

There is only a handful of available partner spots. A typical Big 4 firm literally cannot give out partnership spots to every SM-level survivor just because they refuse to quit. There is no business case to make every other SM a partner.

At every step of the way, the majority of survivors from the lower ranks will be weeded out one way or another. Whether by sheer burnout, or being subtly managed out (hinting to you that you will never make partner), or forever dangling the partnership carrot but never giving it to you and counting on you to give up eventually and quit.

You think you can beat the odds? The historical data doesn't lie. You think the thousands of other ex-Big 4 peeps didn't also have the same thinking or ambition as you when they first started out i.e. that they will try to outlast the rest of their peers?

Attaining partnership in Big 4 is like attaining COL and above rank in the SAF. Every sign-on officer wants to reach that rank and hopes to get there by outlasting his peers. But there are only so many COL and BG slots available.

SAF is counting on 80% of regulars to quit along the way, otherwise they'll have a big organizational and structural problem on their hands, because there will be too many disgruntled hopefuls for COL positions and not enough space to justify keeping them all around.
