Not important from a firm perspective but I’ll always go to associates in my office first, then if there’s no one available I’ll see if I can do it myself, and if I’m too busy that’s when I’d start thinking about an associate in another office.

A few questions about an offer I received...
If they say they’re paying for my health insurance, does that me that the taxes for healthcare don’t get taken out of my gross salary?

And what’s the culture around negotiation? In the US I would never accept a first offer - is it acceptable to ask for an additional 10%

Danke!

Does your firm find out why you failed a clearance ? Asking bc I got fired from my first job out of college a couple years ago and didn’t report it on it company background check. I’m afraid if I fail my public trust, my current firm will find out and fire me for not reporting it on my prior employers.
