Has anyone ever turned down an offer of partnership at their firm? Is there a tactful way to do it that doesn’t immediately signal to the firm that you’re planning to leave? Currently at a boutique litigation firm and for various reasons I do not want to be a partner there. I have been actively looking to leave the past few months. Continued in the comments…

You’ve earned this, even if you don’t want it. Take it (as long as there are no adverse financial results). You can always climb back down that ladder, even internally. I know of partners who decided to transition to counsels.

I knew that my firm intended to promote me to partner before the end of the year, but was recently told the time line had moved up and the promotion would go into effect by July 1. Do I accept the promotion knowing I intend to leave at the first opportunity? Decline for unspecified personal reasons? Lie and say I’m not ready but ask that we revisit the topic in 6-12 months?

Is this equity partner and is there a buy in? If not, accept it and then keep looking for the better opportunity. Do you have a respectable portable book?

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute.
