What have people been able to take with them as prep for a job / guides along the way? Like if you’re taking a role leading growth strategy, are you able to ask the firm for a couple playbooks you think will help you be successful? (Obviously you can’t just download a bunch of KNOW docs and take them - talking about asking for stuff that prepares you for the role you take)

Talked to a few SPs for the morons who laugh and assume here:

1. When you’re getting the offer and still on search, talk to sponsors about the role and what they’d do

2. When you feel like you’re ready to take it, have a P or SP send you anything you want as preemptive client development. We want our people to succeed and the magic isn’t just in whether you can remember it exactly, it’s in a McK team and pace to execute things.

3. You know what happens when you assume…a lesson for some of you here!

I highly doubt youd be able to take any of that. You can read the relevant know docs before you leave, but i havent heard of anyone getting playbooks to help them prep for future roles. If you end up in a role where youre considering hiring mck for a project, you might be able to get a partner / senior partner to send you some of that (and theyd consider it investing in potential clients), but it feels like itd be a very case by case basis

Yeh obviously…..

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

I’m in an interesting dilemma. Very interested in leaving my company, but I am also going through IVF. I know most new jobs require a year wait before you can go on maternity leave. Does anyone know a great company to work for that does not require this? Obviously, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, but if this works, I don’t want to accept a job and not be paid for maternity leave because I am doing this solo. Appreciate all the help!

Curious to know what you've seen as working to non working dollars split in Canadian agencies. Reference any specific brands (or categories) if you can.
