I'm in a client-facing team leadership role, able to fully retire, and just told our managing partner I'd like to do so in 3 months. The firm would like to retain me and has proposed I consider a reduction to a 50% or 60% schedule as a glidepath for a year or 2, doing only what I enjoy. I'm hesitant as I don't know that I have the diligence to truly adhere to a modified schedule, or how to support clients and colleagues if only "working" say, 3 days per week. Has anyone successfully done so?

I am currently interviewing for a Senior Partner Solutions Architect role and want to know what I want for compensation. What would be a good range to ask for annual compensation (base, bonus, stocks)? Would it be a good idea to leave Booz and go?

Hi All. Looking for some guidance/PoV
How does Associate Partner role at Gartner Consulting compare to similar roles at other consulting organizations (like IBM, Deloitte, EY or Accenture) ? Trying to evaluate offers and finalize from Publicis (Strategy consulting), EY (Senior Director, Digital Transformation) and Associate Partner (Gartner Consulting)

I want to pursue a partnership role with another firm. However I'm stuck with updating my resume. I've held progressively more responsible roles starting with HR Consultant up to a Practice Manager / Director.

I was just promoted to partner at am law 100 firm that I’ve been with for the past 8 years, but suffering from total imposter syndrome/burnout. Billed ~2200 hours for the last 7 years and just spent. Any advice on adjusting to new role and gaining some fresh perspective?

My partner and I are finishing a freelance position at an agency with potential to turn into full time in January. Would it be wrong to try and negotiate a higher salary for being taken on full time?

I lateraled to my current firm 6 months ago. Is it too early to approach a partner about wanting to go into government (SEC)? The partner used to be in a high position in the regional office. I'm a 5th year.

My leadership wants to plug me in to DoD work and suggesting I apply for a TS Clearance and a Sec+ cert. I'm hesitant as I'm unsure as to what type of career opportunities would be available in this space. My background is non-technical -cloud pre-sales & BD. Also, have a top 15 MBA.

I intend to apply for a cloud partner or BD role with Azure or AWS next year. Any advice if I should turn down this opportunity?

Anyone have experience doing in house regulatory work at a utility? Exit opportunities? Does work get boring? Pondering an offer and move from large firm (but not Biglaw). Senior counsel role. No real partner desires on my part but regarded well and plenty of work currently. Thanks!

I feel so lost in my career. I have three years of B4 experience (1 year audit, 2 years risk compliance) and I absolutely hate what I do. I’m a high performer yet I have zero motivation. I don’t see myself becoming partner & I also dont see myself being a controller/CFO in industry. I feel like I made the wrong choice but accounting is all I know. Anyone else go thru this? What type of role/industry did you pivot to?

Does anyone know anything about the business transformation partner role at Bain Capital?

I reached out to a BCG partner through cold email. Without chatting with me, the partner connected me with a recruiter. The recruiter offered to chat and answered any questions I have but didn’t ask too much abt my background. At the end of the conversation, she said something like “lmk when you apply and I will keep an eye out for you. “The partner definitely didn’t put a referral in cuz she still doesn’t know me yet. Should I let a friend of mine at BCG refer me then let the recruiter?

I have two friends working as Associate at McKinsey willing to refer me. One is a close friend, former case partner, working at the office I want to join, and is very likely to give me a strong referral but he just joined the firm 2 months ago. Another friend is not super close but gave me a PEI mock before, she works at a different office (one of the biggest US offices) for abt 2 years, to be promoted to EM soon. She seems to be pretty involved in recruiting. Which one should I go for? Thank u!

Considering switching as a 5th year from a small litigation practice to transactional role at a different firm. The new firm has stated there will be no litigation. 90% of my current work is cases which a partner is the primary attorney so they will have to figure it out if I leave (I’ll give proper notice). However, I have a small number (10-15) of active cases which are my own. What is the protocol for telling my clients I’m leaving and can’t take them with me?

What is a typical time for an offer to be extended? Had one informal coffee, followed by a Zoom interview with four additional attorneys, and then an in-person interview with the practice head and the hiring partner (who was present at all of these). Talks went very well, and conversation ended with how they just needed to talk to the people responsible for next steps(finance). Last meeting was one week ago. Big firm. Not a posted position so I’m the only candidate. Am I am being impatient?

Help…got a great offer at a tech company (non-FAANG), know several people on the team and they all swear they do not work more than 40 hours/week. I am pretty much guaranteed to get promoted to SM this year. I am burned out and want WLB but am I shooting myself in the foot by leaving right before I get promoted to SM? My partner swears it’s a game changer when looking at exit opportunities
