4th year general commercial lit asso in NYC looking to retool to transaction. Current firm is lit only so I cannot retool internally. Open to take as many class year cuts as necessary. Any leads on firms / specific practice groups opening to retool? Appreciate any success stories / insights / suggestions. Thank you!

I was at purely litigation firms and transitioned to a more full service mid sized firm and did both litigation and transactional work. I didn’t have to take any class year cuts or anything like that but never made a full switch over, just added like 30 percent transactional. My goal was to go in house and I needed transactional and employment. I’m in house now and I love it so it worked for me.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.
