Ask to go to lunch / get coffee with them, thank them for all their guidance over the years, and then ask if they have any thoughts or advice about the upcoming meeting and whether they think there’s anything you should be doing in advance. That’s usually a good opening to talk about their support of you and can also lead to insights re next steps.

What year are you and when does your partnership window open?

In most firms, partners aren’t made out of the goodness of peoples’ hearts or as a reward for just doing what you are supposed to. To get a piece of the pie, you need to demonstrate how you make it bigger in a way that a non-partner substitute could not.

Saw someone asking about high-rise apartments in Mott Haven earlier. Just moved into a new apartment building here and honestly it’s not as bad as I thought. New buildings are safe and pretty spacious (relatively speaking). Downside is not really much to do around this area and food delivery is not great. Hope this is helpful for any one who is looking at this area.
