It is actually quite hard to fire a partner. Lots of legal crap. MD's on the other hand...

Deloitte does it. I'm sure we can too.

My partner was forced out last year. And I know he was for a fact Bc there was this big stink about it 2..:.. They call it early retirement ...

Seems hard to force out equity owners. I suspect the bylaws make it enormously difficult, especially when the reward for the investment is effectively delivered years down the line.

I've seen them "shuffle" a low performing partner to a new area and remove responsibility/scope over resources

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
