Has anyone ever regretted leaving big law for a midsized firm? I’m a 2nd year corporate associate who has been offered a position with a midsized firm.

Question regarding a potential writing sample for a lateral real estate associate position - I have a memo I drafted for a client discussing development options for a property based on analysis of city zoning ordinances. Can I use this without my current firm’s approval if I modify information related to the client and the property? And should I also modify the city name and zoning ordinance citations as well for confidentiality purposes? Thanks!

Just accepted a lateral role with a big firm I am super excited about! Not excited to discover this whole conflicts checks process... ugh lol. New 3rd year associate here. Fellow laterals, how long did it take you to fill out the form with all your clients and opposing parties on it so the new firm can run conflicts?

Found a really cool Senior Associate role at KPMG if any KPMG fish are willing to chat and possibly help out with a referral?

4th year big law associate here, trying to make the move to in-house. Spoke to a recruiter about a temp in house role in my field, but recruiter urged me to really think about giving up my permanent position for a temp position. My thought is I’m very unhappy in my current role and would love to do something with more balance and get in house experience under my belt to make me a more attractive candidate. Is this a bad move? Anyone try contract work to land a permanent position?

Any MBAs here? I’m 2 years post-MBA looking to pivot into a role where I can do more User Research. I hate consulting and it’s not for me. I know it’s kind of “starting over” so looking for associate roles and that kind of thing.

In the age of Covid, what are good ways for a young lawyer to get associate with organizations that could eventually lead to a board position? What types of activities, associations, and qualities would make someone a quality choice for a board position as well as an effective board member?

Are there any other positions that MBAs can recruit for besides the associate/post-mba role? Starting b-school and coming from tech w/3 yoe..not sure if some of the other groups like the digital practices or incubators (e.g BCG DV) have post-MBA roles that would be better suited to my background 🙂 . (could find any on the websites)

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.

Anyone made the exit from Senior Consultant/Associate to manager at a different firm? How was the increase?

Im an associate at a small firm. I’m potentially referring a significant contingency fee lawsuit to another firm. Can I have the other firm pay a referral fee to me directly to me if they prevail or settle? Do I have an obligation to notify my firm I’m referring a case? I know my firm doesn’t have any conflicts because we are a small firm with very few clients in a completely different practice area. My state bar’s ethics rules doesn’t address this. Thoughts?

Hi! I’ve been thinking about two possible paths to making it to a controller one day in financial services.

Path one: stay until manager in big four audit and leave for a lateral position, only have audit exp
Path two: leave as a senior associate and spend two to three years as a senior accountant in private to get familiar with operations and the close process, then jump again for a promotion. Have a mix of audit and operational and accounting exp, but no title

Which path would be better?

How many parts of an FDD case study are there for a senior associate position at A&M?

I am a 4th year associate primarily doing construction defect and insurance coverage (plaintiff) litigation. I see alot of comments that litigators have an uphill battle getting an in-house position. My exit strategy from firm life is 1-2 years. Any advice as to make myself more employable for the in-house world? Should I ask to get my hands on more transactional work? Certain CLEs? Reach out cold to other in-house attorneys to get their thoughts?

Does a lateral move make sense at the junior level? I’m an associate now and a recruiter reached out for another associate role — sounds great and all but... I’m not sure about the title? It would be about $10k pay increase. For context, I’ll definitely have to jump from my current company for my next title bump

What exactly do you put on you resume for your prior experience as a B4 associate/junior staff if you are currently a senior associate? I feel as the experience undermines my current experience as a senior associate since the tasks I performed were basic audit procedures. I am debating between only leaving the position/duration or adding one simple bullet to describe the responsibilities. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks!
