Any tips on leaving a firm “correctly”? Was about to go “of counsel” with my firm of 6 years, but then another firm whose partners I really respect (and personally like) offered me a partnership position. I predict my current bosses will *flip* (cut off file access immediately, try to beat me to calling my clients, etc.), so how do I set myself up for a successful transition?

Obviously download everything you need. If you’re worried about him trying to beat you to calling clients, check his calendar and look for a window to tell him when he just won’t have the time to go around calling your clients. You can also prepare a merge form to go out as an email to every client, or use a software to pre record voice mails and just deposit them in their voice mail boxes as soon as you tell parter

And sounds like you’ve been practicing long enough for this to not be an issue but if you have a set start date with your next firm make sure that you have enough for expenses if your firm cuts you off right away and you have to skip a pay period at new firm.

I was just promoted to senior. I would like to leave public after obtaining my CPA/having a busy season as a senior under my belt. PA wrecks havoc on my anxiety and I don’t know how long I can realistically last in this position. This might be horrible to say but I would honestly love a job with structured hours (ie just the basic 9-5, maybe some overtime here and there but not the norm/expected) and the work is also very boring/similar day to day. Can anyone recommend positions that fit this?

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.
