Why this exists
You have time.
When I was an associate, I'd just finished paying for grad school and wasn't about to pay for more courses. I learned most of what I know about pay, contracts and supervision by asking around and figuring it out the hard way.
Associate Corner is what I wish I'd had: affordable, honest and practical. Use what helps, and reach out anytime at connect@hellomaeve.com.
