That’s about all I could come up with. I’m in a similar position and am struggling. As long as you resist the pull of fleece sweaters (just say no to patanorthface), you’ll be in good shape

You’re insinuating tech clients don’t have style?

I may look broke and hippy, but I paid thousands to look this way.

When did I say that? Tech clients are not suited as most of my other clients have been. Fair?

Can someone explain the difference between FB’s Partner Solutions Manager and the Strategic Partner Manager? From an initial recruiter call, it seems the SPM provides the consultative product recs while the PSM onboards the client onto that product and tracks performance to provide actionable recs as needed. Anyone know career growth and salary for these two? I don’t want a sales heavy/only lateral growth role like their client solutions manager roles so these seem like good compromises?

Has anyone received equity as contingency comp? I have a potential client with a founders dispute. He doesn’t have cash, and the other founder ripped him off and is now running the company.

Any insight on negotiating Westlaw or transitioning to lexis?
