How difficult is it to advance one’s career beyond that of a normal consultant role and become a manager/partner? I’ve been told that very few people are able to become partners and that most employees remain at the consultant level. Just out of curiosity, how much would a typical manager/partner earn at a top consulting firm?

Also, a few of you mentioned the rigor of the consulting interview process. How exactly are the interviews structured? I’ve heard that prospective employees are presented with mock cases which they have to analyze and solve.
