Any tips on how NOT to micromanage? Especially when you're managing someone new and you aren't sure how reliable they are yet. How many check-ins/reminders are too many? Would love your advice!

As somebody who has worked for her fair share of micromanagers, I would encourage you to make it known that you're available to help, but not ask for constant updates. Give deadlines, offer support, and let them do their job. If they aren't doing their job, that's when you can intervene. But micromanaging is really bad for morale and teaches your employees that you don't trust them to do the job.

Good advice from HRG1! I’d also establish a cadence of connection points consistent with the rest of the team. If your team is big enough, you can provide a peer mentor for the new person - someone on the team that can be their first point of contact for questions they have while coming up to speed. That enables the new employee to ask questions and get help when needed without you having to be all up in their business, which demonstrates trust in them and in the team as a whole. That also helps build rapport in the team.

Does anyone have any insight into partners retiring early? I am at a point where I need to consider leaving if I am not aiming for partner. I don’t see myself working past my 40s. My partner and I are not big spenders and anticipate have enough to retire comfortably in 40s (obviously a lot can change). I have been assured I will become SM in next year (currently 31 years old).

Phone addiction. I truly feel like I have one now and I hate it. Is anyone feeling the same or possibly improved your phone addition? I am constantly on my phone and my usage is averaging 5.5 hours per day. I wake up to my phone and it's the last thing I see before bed. On it between meetings and any moment that I don't have to be focused. I will say that my phone doesn't get touched when I'm with people. Almost at all. It is a cycle of insta, snap, and FB. With LinkedIn and this in between.
