People should discuss their salaries.

Whatever you feel comfortable with. Some people are very guarded and weird about money convos. Which is ok too.

If you plan on remaining partners and moving agencies, it’s helpful to get on the same page for negotiations.

Transparency is always beneficial in this industry too since there’s so much discrepancy.

Same. If you intend to stay partners for awhile it’s best to have this conversation if you are both comfortable with it.
