What was the first thing you did once you become partner? I am assuming heavy pressure on selling more than what you were selling before?

Typically your firm firm lends you the capital at a very low rate, so it’s not really a big risk vs return decision.

The buy-ins vary by firm. At mine it is 30% of your earnings which you have to maintain throughout your career since your earnings change.

I was selling partner level targets or more as an associate partner before my partner appointment. So there really wasn’t much pressure on sales . But I did learn very quickly that I have no more ability to bitch and moan about things I didn’t like - now I was part of “them”. That took some time to sink in :)

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.

Hi everyone!
Can you tell me how much you make and with how many YOE?

I know I'm being severely underpaid, I just want to know the range I SHOULD be making so I can bring it up with my employer so the eventual person in this position after me doesn't have to be in the same boat.

For reference: I make about $30k and I'm a (remote) graphic designer with 4 YOE and I do all the design work plus social media management for the company and outside clients. I also have multiple certifications. 🙃
