I tried to reach my partner yesterday and today to give notice. Quite uncharacteristically, he has not responded at all. Would it be okay to give notice by email? Ideally I’d want to do it over a call but don’t want to keep delaying this…

I did the same thing. I left a voicemail about how I didn’t want to give notice over email first, but that I was going to send an email after the call.

Well I told him in the vm that he would make an excellent mentor who was interested in the practice area. I left bec of practice area. I spoke to him then 3 days late, but in generally he was never that responsive. He reacted maturely. He understood these things happen.

Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?
