Received offer at firm with significant pay bump. Position is at current level but they claim that they would try to get me to partner level within a year. How do I make those claims mean something?

Ask for clear KPIs in writing that you have to meet to make partner in a year, have it as part of your offer package reviewed and signed by firm leadership.

Assuming this is a consulting firm offer, coming in as a non-partner and making partner within a year would probably require you to show that you have a revenue pipeline and the ability to deliver revenue off that pipeline (because you have the right team, tools, etc.). A one year or less runway would be a challenge unless you don’t currently have a non-compete and are bringing a book of business with you and the firm has a team and methodology similar to what you do now so it would be plug and play. Assuming it’s an equity partnership business, I still think other partners might be wary without a longer track record.
That said, if you are getting a bump and it takes you 2 years to partner, is that something you can live with?

I worked 2m for startup company and absconded due to bitter experience from Jun'21 - July'21 , later immediately joined to another company Aug'21 to present(under notice period). Now I got offer with comcast and will moving on Jan'23. I'm bit worried because I don't have releiving letter for those 2m but all other records are clear with me(includes to company I'm currently serving notice period). I yet to reveal this 2m to my Hr. Should I tell and leave as such, Kindly pour your advice.

I have so many deadlines lined up and need to work over 15 hours each day. I am already burned out and have no motivation to work. Part of me dares me to not work and face the consequences, at the end of the day its just a job. Is it normal to feel this way? I am just not able to find the motivation to work. Anyone who has felt this way, how did you get through such situations and lack of motivation?
