Have a great opp with a new company for a leadership role and to make a run at partner. BUT there are partners that I had a huge negative interaction early in my career (my first consulting company, we’ve all subsequently moved around). At the time I was young and in the wrong and one of the partners tried (unsuccessfully) to sack me. Should I reconsider the move? Would they block my bid for partner based on bad blood from 10 years ago?

How petty are they and how much did you mess up?

It’s been 10 years - unless you did something really horrible I would hope they’ve moved on.

That said - yes some people are really petty, so be careful if you know they’re really petty. If you’re worried about this - I would reach out to that partner, let him know you’re potentially joining and see if they reach back out.
