I do things (late nights/weekends) that I don't think my managers/partner knows about since everything is running well - directly correlated with elected hours spent. Is it weird to bring this up?

My advise is, be like Batman.

Do badass things with discretion but leave subtle clues/indicators behind so your leadership can trace the credit back to you. Eventually they will recognize your worth and consistency in performance. So when more important things start to crop up, they will turn on the bat signal to look for you.

While we are concerned about work life balance, it’s about results not the hours. Are you working extra hours because the team is understaffed? Are you going above and beyond? If you brought this up to me, I’d consider it an issue I need to help resolve (unless it’s a high burn period but not the norm)

I like D1’s advice.

That said, I like to think most of the time we know these things since we used to do them too. But it’s always good to remind us in a settle Batman kind of way.

Partners, when you identified a minor error from a deliverable that was reviewed by SA and manager. Do you mostly get upset/disappointed at the manager, SA or the associate?

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

The other opportunity should still be there for 2-3 years

Also, did you have any fear of not achieving sales targets when you became a partner?

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?
