Has anyone just tried to work less? Idk how much longer I can take it so thinking of just taking less deals and seeing what happens. Probably more applicable to m&a tax since we won’t on multiple

Try just being honest. Tell your partner you want to scale back and target 50/week. I’ve had this conversation with my Deals partner and several MDs and they’re supportive. They just don’t put my name in the hat for everything under age sun anymore.

The firm has hired all these new people and most don't understand the pace of the work and nobody wants to critically think anymore...spoon feeding has become the norm.

Yeah I agree, I worked with some of the worst new hires I had ever seen in the last year. On one of my projects, the new hire basically signed off at 5 everyday and took half a day off on Friday without telling us while the rest of the team were grinding. Another new hire kept messing up simple analysis but blame it on me for not teaching him about the industry (which is manufacturing…)

Deals/projects at once. I’d imagine the partner would rather have me at 50/hrs a week than at 0 (quitting) hours a week…there was one person in our group who had 65% utilization last year and wasn’t fired as well…

Same boat. Not sure how you can take on less deals though?

Yeah the idea is to say no to the staffer, instead of just taking everything that comes your way.

Firm needs you more than you need them

Set boundaries. Don’t ask anymore, just tell them.

The only way I’ve accomplished less hours is leveraging those below me more and staying with them (e.g., thoroughly training the associate/senior and any oversee staff)…. I consistently work on multiple deals, but don’t feel the burn as much anymore because those below me are delivering consistently. Obviously takes some up-front work, but well worth it.

Just became SM - I did projects with India only after the Covid brain drain but now they’ve started giving me new hires

I think my utilization was like 70% in M&A Tax last year and I was promoted.

I had similar in FDD and was tier 2

When salary will be credited and the time??

Hi ladies!
I’m interviewing next week for a Sr Account Manager role @ a digital mkt agency.
The interviewer asked me to send in my salary expectation before we talk. This is a little bit challenging to me. Talk numbers.
The position ask for at least 4 years experience. I have 6.
I want to ask for a fair amount because I do think I can bring much value to the company.
Also don’t want to compromise just because I’m out of work at the moment. Do you guys have a suggestion ? TIA!!!
