Big 4 Partner at 32: The Secret? Clarity & not chasing every 2x job offer

• Hi, I’m Mehul Jain, Partner for International Tax Services at Price Waterhouse & Co LLP. 
• In 2015, I walked into the firm as an Assistant Manager, with a crazy vision to become a Partner in 10 years.
• In 2025, at 32, I achieved it, and it wasn’t a coincidence. 
• Hard work, solid mentor are non-negotiable, but…Clarity and the discipline to resist every shiny 2x job offer mattered most.

Back story

In 2011, as a CA intern, I was dropping CVs across Fort, Mumbai, desperately looking for a break.

My personal situation required an internship that offered a competitive salary.
