I’m thinking about turning in my 2 weeks notice at the firm that I’ve worked at 10 years this week. No raise, no bonus, was told that partner track was delayed a few years for a variety of non performance reasons. I met all sales and other goals. I have another job offer I’d like to take from another firm. I ordinarily wouldn’t quit during busy season but this year busy season is literally January 2 - October 15. Thoughts?

Sounds like you've already decided but are feeling guilty. Don't feel guilty! There is always work to be done so you will always leave something undone and pushed to your teammates regardless of when you leave.

I was in the same position and made a move. There were a couple other things that rubbed me wrong as well that I won’t get into here.

At the new firm, make sure you’re getting exposure to regional and national leadership during the interview process. Yes, local puts you up for partner, but you’re golden if regional/national has your back.


Just remember grass isn’t always greener.

Congratulations on the job offer OP. Don’t worry about quitting at this time. Do what makes sense for you.

Good luck with the new role.
