I am a Partner at PWC. Ask me Anything.

It would be easy to find out who I am if I say anything more but I have worked in cross-collaborative roles across my careers spanning multiple decades in Big4s. I have led several projects for Govt of India and Public Sector Organizations. Personally I have worked in multidisciplinary fields mostly in IT and Databases. I have recently worked in Solution designing and Enterprise Architecture for many large orgs. Most of this is Digital strategy for many offline first businesses.

Ask me Anything!

How do you find clients for your vertical?

@polyesterking At this stage, our practice does not require as much active outreach. Additional business comes primarily from expanding existing clients, and good wom between similar clients. The space is large but tightly knit, and hence different vis-a-vis other sectors.

Salary slabs exist everywhere but tend to be flexible. It also depends on the vertical so I can't comment on the specifics.

Worked in Big 4 all my life. First 10 years I did not make more that 15L per year. Then it sky rocketed in the last 5 years to where I am right now. It is a massive power law.

Someone can figure out how old I am. But safe to say I became partner at 39.

I have two questions
What is your education background? Can a person who has done forgein accounting bodies course like cpa/acca /cfa become partner in big 4 or it's only for Indian CAs

BouncyRaccoon

CA background. Becoming a partner is less about the education tbh. Yes, there is a threshold but most importantly it is about optics and how palatable your promo is.

MBA grads also become partners? The ones with no CA background?
