Never underestimate how much the seniors and managers above you can control your narrative in the firm. If they dont WANT to help you succeed, leave that team. Who agrees?

Quiting is for quitters that want more money, less toxic environment and less hours.

100% yes. I am an A3 and have been working under the same manager since I started, across different jobs. Though he isn’t my career coach, I whole heartedly believe he has had the biggest impact on my career round table discussions, far more than my coach and RL. He goes to bat for his people who earn it - even though he isn’t obligated to participate in the CRT process for me since I’m not his coachee, he makes sure he is involved and everything I’ve contributed is fairly considered. He genuinely cares about his teams and not only wants those who earn it to succeed, but does things to help us get there.

Agreed. And if you don’t have a solid coaching relationship with a manager or senior manager above you, you have to find the right person. Someone that will go to bat for you.

I agree though, if you want to stay with the firm, you just need to move somewhere you want to be (same for leaving the firm)

Hello Fishes,

I have an offer from HSBC. My account manager (not my manager) is talking for retention. I have asked 2l more than what it was offered in HSBC or on-site. He told me he will can try for Malaysia or Singapore or hike.

My offer is 20 lpa
I have asked for 24 lpa ( yet to get confirmation)

Should I stay back if they offer 24 lpa/ Singapore or go with my HSBC offer

I’m looking for advice. I’m with a company that will be going through an exit soon-ish. It’ll be big. I have a fair amount of equity and I’m fully vested.

I know there could be a bonus at the time of the transaction or benefits of staying after the transaction, but I am not doing my best work and I want to be motivated and inspired again. Cont’d:

How ‘locked in’ are you - either electively or contractually - at Partner grade?

I’m going through the Partner process at my firm but am getting really interesting offers from industry that I feel I’d be missing out on.

Part of me thinks ‘make it to Partner first, tick that box, then jump’.

Should you only embark on Partnership if you’re sure it’s what you want to do for the rest of your career?
