Is this serious? It can't be.

Those are not mid level firms...and you're deep into this career to be looking to transition to an entirely different practice

That's a bit different. GL has transferable skills to Littler's EPLI practice.

Time for a bit of a reality check. This is going to be a difficult if not impossible move at this point in your career. There’s nothing “midsize” about K&E or White & Case, and they aren’t going to take an 11+ year lawyer as a corporate first year. Most of tech is in hiring freeze/layoff mode, and you’re going to have the same problem switching practice groups there as well.

I guess I should have reframed there question, I’m simply asking if anyone has referral to those companies. I’m coming from a small to mid size firm.

No, I believe OP can do it. Maybe not exactly what he wants, but something similar, if he frames his practice and experience correctly to fit what he wants. But this will be hard - OP will have to put in the hours to do that. Forget WLB, weekend, evenings. But if you make enough sacrifice, you could do it.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

What are the best responses for “a time when you led a team” in a consulting interview, for someone who has not had a managerial position (1 yoe) before?

And how would you differentiate this vs “a time when you worked in a team”

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
