Partners are obligated to bring in new clients to the business. While nurturing current client relationships, partners are often required to bring in a certain amount of new clients to keep the business running. Principals primarily focus more on internal affairs. Earning a bachelor’s degree is only a requirement for principals. Tenure within the company primarily determines eligibility for partnerships. Employees advance up the chain of command until they reach partner status. In reaching this point, some individual partners may decide to earn their degree along the way.
