Hi everyone,
I am looking for someone to take over my 2Bed/2Bath lease in 420 E Ohio (Streeterville) starting in November (flexible). The apartment, the building amenities and neighborhood are truly AWESOME, but I got a new job outside of IL and will be relocating. Message me if interested!

I’d just appreciate the comment and move on, if you’re still in the grind then keep grinding if you’re already halfway out then a meaningless comment shouldn’t change your mind
It’s a good positive comment. And you should appreciate it sincerely. But if you’re not sure how to feel about it, and your title says manager as opposed to senior manager so it’s likely just something he’s saying to keep you working on that path (and at the firm).
So i would use it as an excuse to ask about the path to partner including timeline and what you should be demonstrating and doing. Then follow up periodically, assuming it’s something you want too.

Doesn’t mean anything
It's possible. Lunch chats can sometimes be just fillers if they have nothing else to say to me.
It means you have a strong work ethic, churn out quality work, and decent social skills.
Unless you are close to partner, they just gassing your head up. Trying to keep the better workers at the lowest rate.
Keep working those 70 hour weeks and making them rich! 😆
If you are interested, for some crazy reason, ask them (and h/r) what the best path to partner is?
And what they base the reviews and decisions on. That way you can try to meet or exceed the goals they are looking for.
Do you want to eventually become a partner?
As a former B4 employee, I am cautious of these kinds of comments, but going into a smaller boutique firm, I think this caught me off guard. Being a partner here looks like something I can achieve in the next few years, considering that the senior partners are inching towards retirement and may be including me as part of their succession planning.
