Do you mention who your clients are in interviews? I can never tell what the right way to do this is. I usually say something along the lines of โ€œa large client in X industry/verticalโ€ because dropping the client name feels tacky? But at the same time, my main client is niche and knowing who is kind of vital to understand the work.

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but itโ€™s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, Iโ€™m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, letโ€™s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
