Ok, maybe this has been done before, but I want to get a real life sense of the difference between EPLI and Private L&E (management side) practices. Let's do a poll:

1.) Primary source of business: EPLI or Private Companies?

2.) Number of matters you are currently working on

3.) Average billable rate (your year)

4.) Normal working hours/wk

5.) Percentages: Litigation vs Counseling

6.) Type of firm: ID, Big 4, Boutique, BigLaw, etc.

I'll kick things off in comments.

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

I'm burnt. Attempting to figure out how to pivot.
Over 50, I've been a COO, SVP etc at mid-tier orgs ending in B4. Technical enough to call BS, ops expert, excel at organic sales. Systems engineer at heart - by SE I thrive building systems designed to produce results. Brainstorming, idea generation, jumping on the box strategy for me is thrilling. I want to build people not revenue. I want to develop solutions to problems that aren't billable. Yes, I understand the...

Hello! Looking for A 3-4 year SALT senior manager in Boston. Specifically at Big 4, RSM, Grant, Ryan and/or BDO. I’m currently a senior manager in NYC and know the Boston salary will be lower but I’m not sure how much.

Do B4 personnel have any pull in referrals for offices that they aren’t located in? Want to relocate and have some connections at the other B4 I’m interested in, just not @ the office I want to go to

I’ll be putting in my two weeks notice to join a competitor. Is there a polite way to deflect or refuse to say when I’m asked where I’m going? I don’t want to say which B4 I’m joining - would rather folks find out when I update my LinkedIn profile. Hint* it’s not PwC 😀
