I’m bound and determined to get some folks talking! Let’s talk agency search consultants. I feel like they are mostly for large agencies but do they want to hear from smaller shops ? Do they get rfps that may not be big enough for large shops?

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay?

Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave

I’ve learned recently about some traumatic events that family members of mine have gone through but I had no idea had occurred.
