I've become a partner in a t2 / t3 a couple of years ago. What seemed like the goal for the longest time now seems to be the cause of all stress.
There's constant pressure to get clients, admin burden and constant fear of the team you train leaving (even if treated well since t1s pay a lot more). This despite the fact that I'm getting in decent work for someone at my level.
Just was wondering that is this only me or others are also in the same boat but want to act all cool and unperturbed? I feel this all the time and it's effecting my mental health. Is it a requirement of partnership to not act vulnerable even if you are - even to your own team?
