Partners are the GM’s. They run the high level operations and hiring/comp decisions.

SM’s are the Quarterbacks. They run the entire show/engagement from top to bottom.

We would be so lucky to have quarterback senior managers. "Irrelevant sports blog writer with incorrect predictions" is more like it.

Managers are WR’s. They catch what SM’s throw at them and move the engagement forward.

Seniors are Running Backs. They are relied on to move the stick. A little too much before they burn out and a new RB is waiting to take over.

Staff are Offensive Line. They do the dirty and gritty work and often go unnoticed.

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?
