My brother is getting an offer from IBM GBS. They are ready to offer her Associate Partner role but need some clarification before accepting the offer. She has been working as a Sr. Manager for a top 25 tech firm currently. 1. Is the Associate partner role is equivalent to "DIRECTOR" role from outside?2. What's the difference between Sr. Managing Principal Vs Associated Partner in terms of sales revenue target, direct reports, career band?3. What's the difference between these two roles in terms of managing/owning a project?4. What about the traveling requirements between these two roles.Highly appreciate if you can share your insights.

Weird that IBM GBS needs these clarifications before they accept their own offer.
