Yeah manage your teams. Currently working with a new manager who is performing like an associate and is scared to make a decision. It is pretty f’ing frustrating.

1. Your job is to manage your people not to be their best friends. Don't be afraid to delegate down and make your expectations / deadlines known.

2. Be open to suggestions from junior team members but be careful of the mediocre performer who thinks they know more than they do and wants to rewrite all your procedures (including those on higher risk areas).

3. Watch what you say and be diligent with your administrative tasks. These things matter at the manager level and can come back to bite you if you're not careful (regardless of how good your performance is).

4. Regularly engage with your clients even when the engagement is over (too many managers are hands off in this regard). Doing so will show the client you're invested in them and ease fee discussions when they come up.

5. Make time to get / remain involved in firm initiatives. This will be key in you further moving up the ladder at the firm. The sooner you get involved the better.

Manager is a title for super senior, is what I learned

Hi! This is not 100% salary-related, but your feedback would be helpful. I was contacted by a recruiter from Pyramid Consulting Inc for a HRG position, although the agreement to represent and job posting both say HRBP2. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience working as a contractor with Pyramid. A few hours after they contacted me, I received a communication from a very similar company, Akraya, Inc., for the same exact position. I just want to make sure Pyramid is a reputable company.

Are aggressive non-competes show stoppers for direct admit partners at MBB & T2? I'm a partner at a small boutique firm and we have very tight non-competes. Biggest issue is a 9 month period before starting new role at competing firm. I'm being recruited by a few firms. The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!
