Rockstar partner or top out at VP in CorpFina
A friend of mine and I were talking about whether we'd rather be a top level rockstar partner (lets say by 35) or pretty much top out in a VP of finance type role in corpfina (same age). Which would you guys rather do?
I'm operating under the assumption that this is a hypothetical situation where I am magically transported to age 35 and don't have to go through everything leading up to it...
In which case, I think I'd go with Partner. Not to sound like a complete douche here, but it sounds/seems cooler.
That said, I have no intentions (although I always keep an open mind) to shoot for partner. VP of Finance seems to more fit my ultimate goals. I'd rather work up the ranks working normal hours with a life than busy season hours at a Big 4.
Top level rockstar like Bono or equivalent? How is this even a question? I would definitely be a rockstar over some stupid job in finance.
lol
Is this asking if I would want to be an equity partner in a baller ass firm/fund or a VP of Finance?
...really?
Isn't that something like $3,000,000/yr vs. $300,000/yr?
I think those figures are slightly exaggerated.
Partner for sure, but partner status can vary at different firms. What type of firm are we talking?
Certainly some interesting answers here.
I'm thinking at a top firm so PwC or Deloitte and a F1000 type VP of finance role. The real question is would you rather pretty much guarantee yourself senior partner type money (Hypothetical $1.5 million) versus a job that you may find more interesting and work less hours. So it boils down to whether your thinking purely from a money stand point or from a job satisfaction standpoint.
I have no clue how interesting being a partner would be but I have to be honest and say I find the prospect of working through the ranks at a firm to be interesting. Yea the work sucks and everything but I feel it's competitive to move up and that challenge of trying to be the top guy at your firm is something I would enjoy.
