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 :)

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
