Do other firms have policy where you can’t solicit your coworkers to leave? Recently left BKD and got an exiting email from managing partner says: it has been a while since you signed the contract where it states you can’t solicit colleagues to leave. Just want to remind you of that. Also my coworker got reminded in person when she was having exit talk with the group partner. Do you guys have similar policies?

You can't prohibit people from hiring your coworkers to work for competitors in California. Its against state law.

PwC has this - people who leave cannot solicit existing employees for employment

I guess it depends on the place of business. I haven't come across that.

I did after reading this. There's a disclosure to not compete with the firm, but nothing on soliciting coworkers, aside from soliciting to sell something to them in the office (i.e. girl scout cookies, etc.)

I understand you can’t solicit to your client but not your coworkers

It’s common to have non solicitation for colleagues. Generally comes into play at manager level. However, as others have said, check you’re agreement. But remember the best asset of accounting firms is you ( and your colleagues) so it makes sense they want to protect their assets

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

Hello All,

I bought CER006 on Nov 21 with my current company email id and completed one certification. I am leaving my current organization and I still have 9+ months time left for CER006. My company says the s user id provided by them will get de-activated once I leave (in a week). I have not claimed the amount also. Is there any way I can transfer the certification to my personal email I'd so that I can write other exams in time left?

I’m honestly tired of being at an agency and not feeling as fulfilled as I used with strategy as a career. Have anyone here make a career change? if so, what other jobs out there - outside of agencies and client side - can you apply what you know as a strategist? Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.
