Partners, are you promoting yourself all the time when you meet other partners? What else do you talk about when you meet with other partners?

I introduce myself with "Hi, I'm MD1 and I sold $63M last year, nice to meet you."

I've also perfected the slight sneer when someone mentions selling less than that or is a noob partner asking noob partner questions. I'm tall, so that also makes it easy to literally look down my nose at the peon partners.

Promoting yourself all the time can seem a bit too irritating in my opinion. Although you can promote yourself but don't do it all the time. Just talk about how both of your days went, experiences, family...

It’s my birthday in a few minutes. 2021 has been a terrible year for me. My marriage ended. It wasn’t a bad end though. We are still close, just not romantic partners anymore. The very first dog I ever had died and I couldn’t go see her because of the quarantine. I didn’t get a promotion that I more than deserved. I don’t think I get paid well. Most of my friends moved out of the city and I’m having to meet new people at 32. I love my job but it’s incredibly stressful. I’m terribly lonely.
