Are you taking clients w you? Just go - you’ve mentally already left, don’t stick around to let your production take a hit because your mind is somewhere else. Good luck on the new position!

Be nice, professional, thank everyone for the experience you have gained where you are. Do t get trapped into discussion on why you are leaving and why the new firm is better... vague comment about how this opportunity came up... smiles and lots of thanks to your current team

Prob won't be backlash-your former co will be happy they don't have to pay you a bonus this year!

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out?

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

CFP study programs:

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
