Ability to pay for my club dues, play golf alone sometimes, and with my family all the time. Have enough money for a few trips a year.

That still requires substantial cash flow, but I am not in a rush to partner as fast as I once was after having our second boy.

Time with family is what matters most now.

I am an SM for reference.

Used to be focused on increasing my salary and KPIs. Now I am more focused on reducing my handicap!

Flexibility to spend time with my family (getting the kids into it and having the time /$ to do so)

not 3 putting and meeting great people that I can either work with or find a job with.

Now in my older years - I am looking for roles where the companies value the humans...not so much chasing salary. I want some sort of stability and decent pay with great people. When I was younger, it was chasing a title and pay.

Thought I’d be thrilled to be a 2 handicap. Now want to be a +3 or better and be competitive on the local am circuit

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
