Any exec comp associates between years 4-6 willing to chat via DM? Trying to gauge whether my knowledge base / experience is on par with other associates in that class range.

Any thoughts from those more senior to the above class range, but who can speak to experience/knowledge expectations, would be welcomed too.

It will vary by firm. Are you strictly EC or do you also cover EB? Does your firm also handle disclosure and other securities issues? Bankruptcy? Some firms have the ECEB folks handle a lot of the labor issues, too. It's not really one size fits all. But the only thing I ever hear partners says is that they can't find associates willing to do it, so as long as you're making hours and feel like you're getting good work and experience, I wouldn't sweat comparing yourself to others too much.

Strictly EC, but some EB in the deal context. No pubco work. I do some of the labor issues as eell.

Reps, you have a client who you’ve had for less than a year. You’ve helped them secure a couple small jobs in that time span. They book a big job with an agency that isn’t a house account but certain producers and clients at that agency are noted as house accounts. The job came through a reco from one of those house account producers. Do you charge the full 25k commission, even though you didn’t really have a hand in the sale, and the client already had a strong relationship with the agency?
