There are lots of choices to to transition. What makes you want to transition? What benefits do you hope to realize in the transition? Is it money, fulfillment, an interest in a new practice area? The answers to these questions will help to become clear on what you really desire in your next chapter. Hope that helps.

Get out of workers’ comp ASAP. The longer you wait the less marketable you are because if you’re looking to go into civil litigation, it’s completely different.

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
