At what level did you enter your firm and what was your time to partner?

Also, do you have kids, and did you feel that delayed your time? If so, by how much?

Came as a Manager. 9 years to Partner at B4; I was 34. Had a child at 31 when I was an SM. I am a woman and no, I did not feel it delayed my time to Partner.

Yes

Entered as an M1 (manager). Made partner 8 years later. Had two kids during my director years. One more kid during my first year of partner. I would say kids definitely slowed my progression and continue to do so. I try to balance and fill my role as a dad as much as I can. That results in passing up pursuits/projects. That results in passing up weekend outings with other partners. That results in not raising my hand for visible, but “extra credit” firm initiatives. But, I really think using that time for the kids (vs progressing my career) is for the best, and wouldn’t have it any other way.

I recently took a job in a startup for a bigger paycheck and to shift to aproduct based company. I left my previous company where i got along great with my boss but the work was too much and always too busy. At the new company i learnt they let go of the product owner i was supposed to work under & this put me in a bad position as i clearly did not have enough experience to handle senior position & i was let go on friday after two months since i was not good enough to fill both roles. :(

How to negotiate salary when you’ve given them a range? I recently panicked and told the recruiter my expected range.

Btw I would be fine with the lower end of my range if offered, I’m just curious because I gave a range and not a hard number, is there a way to negotiate?
