Exploring the sound of silence. Many partners started their careers in a more measured and predictable world. What do the partners of today really think and feel about the demands placed on them, their lifestyle and their expectations for the future? The MPF campaign "Partner Career Paths" aimed to assist firm management when planning initiatives as well as give guidance to individual partners on their future
Initial findings of the survey:
- Work / life balance? Argument rolls on with flexible working (59%) the least attractive initiative firm's offer
- Help! External career advice most "attractive" initiative firms offer partners, 24% claim that it is available, 14% using the service.
- Stay positive. 94% top score "positive firm atmosphere" as important; 70% currently satisfied in this category at their firm
- Support required. 80% score "supportive partners" as important; 46% satisfied in this category
Could you work 80% of the hours for 80% of the pay and maintain the same status at your firm?... 48% said they could, 42% said they couldn't.
