A Strong Quarter Does Not Mean You Were Building One. 

There is a version of a good quarter that looks exactly like the version you actually want. The matters moved. The clients were served. The work got done. From the outside, and honestly from the inside too, it can be difficult to tell the difference between a practice that is growing and a practice that is simply running at capacity.  This is the moment when a lot of firms turn to search.

The second quarter tends to be a clarifying moment. The energy of January, the resolutions, the lateral move conversations that started over the holidays, has either translated into action or quietly stalled.
