Anyone in a LDR ? I’ve been in a LDR for 5 years now, and I’m really sad about how long it takes for me and my partner to build our future projects. I knew it would take this long bc we live in 2 different countries, two nationalities. It’s just taking so much time and I’m loosing patience, but my partner is blaming me for being negative/not being patient and not supporting us at the moment. I’d love to discuss with someone living a similar experience.

Where does the Career Profile information from my account show up?

I recently joined a firm doing general lit. The position was marketed as a match to my skill set. I’m doing nothing related my strengths and I’m languishing intellectually and professionally. In 12 months I’ve gone from loving law to wanting to quit the law altogether. I don’t have a book at all because my network consists of broke millennials and the pandemic makes it hard. Marketing told me the areas I want to practice aren’t big money makers. How can I find a better match?

Hi there, Partners.

I'm an associate who wants to make Partner one day but whenever I talk about "career advancement" with my Partner I get the "don't rush it, it's all merit based"

I'm aware of the business goals of my organization and the different ways one should contribute to said goals. That being said, should I keep looking for the conversation to express my desire to, one day, be considered for Partnership? Should I keep grinding and save it for when I make Consultant?

Thank you

I am 28, 3 years in, and love what i do. Dont like my salary but who doesnt? I am an introvert and am not sure if i will enjoy the sales process as i grow in the firm or contd..

Partners - would be annoyed if your Directors/Senior Managers/Managers consistently reach out to you for work when things are slow on your end? (Once a week or 2x / week)?

Pros/cons of becoming a partner at a private vs public firm, in terms of $, growth, influence/autonomy, politics, etc.

Partners, how does it work when a SM like myself supports MDs and their BD teams write killer proposals (I'm a SME in a specific tech) and we win major work (last 4 months alone, I've contributed to $20M in sales). Prior to me joining we lost a lot projects in this tech because we didn't have someone like me to contribute and sure the proposals were technically sound. Anyway, do I get a bonus? A raise? Nothing? I'm in Accenture.

Hey partner 1, what is the retirement benefits I hear Partners get?

MBB partners, i hear that unlike B4, MBB partners still have strict up or out so there aren’t that many long-time partners at the firm (which is different from B4, there are tons who retire here). For MBB partners who leave, which opportunity do they typically move to? There are not that many roles out there paying similar comp?
