Hi everyone! Looking to get some insight towards Optimus Sbr (boutique firm in Toronto). I’ve finished my 2nd round interviews for associate position. I’ve read some negative reviews re: toxic environment and work hours. For some context, im currently full remote at my job. At optimus, i will be required to come in office 3 days a week and only 20-25k bump in salary. Any comments are appreciated as i’m very conflicted in making a jump, thanks!!

Can anyone provide any advice, or has anyone successfully moved away from sales?

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.
