I sent emails thanking people that I thought actually deserved thanks. Everyone else was lumped in on farewell email. I went in house though, so partners were reaching out to me

I sent one departure email with forwarding contact information. The people I really cared about I spoke to personally.

I did this when I lateraled, and I think it’s nice to do. I just thanked them for the mentoring/teaching, said I learned a lot working for them, keep in touch, etc.

I’m deeply honored to have made you so much money over these past few years. I hope you didn’t spend it all in one place. Best wishes.

Some care and remember. I pour considerable time and effort into associates I work with. Mentoring is one of the bright spots of this career. Having that recognized is always meaningful. But I do get your jaded outlook, as your sentiment is well earned by many firms and many partners

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
