I always stay the weekend when it’s go-live. I didn’t think there was any other option 🤣

Reason being is that the hotel costs more than the airline fare

Work partner or living partner?

Typically staying over to work a go live is fine. Airfare is usually more than the hotel.

Partner at home, that’s between you. They know your line of work.

I always stay the weekend of go-live. Sort of have to....

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm. My caseload is almost entirely made up of clients who were referred to one of the partners but the partners are too busy so I end up taking the case. The clients are told up front that an associate, rather than a partner will be taking his/her case. I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?
