Am I crazy and killing my career considering a part time remote role? It essentially only drafts position statements and participates in mediation.

Unless you’re going for partner one day, no, especially if you get to be on the website (I.e., outsiders can’t tell whether you’re a normal associate/counsel or something else.

I mean, as referenced by the other commenter, it’ll make it hard to become partner, so if you want to make $500,000 or more a year someday and run the place, this is a bad move. But if you just want to work and get paid a middle class salary, this seems fine.

That sounds like a chill role.
I’d make sure you’re ready to retire like that. Years ago, when I was killing myself pulling all nighters all the time, my husband was really bored (working like 3 hours a day at a job that loved him and paid him very low six figures) and I thought he was crazy for wanting to be challenged, but he really did want more and is happier now even though he’s got a real billable requirement.
Personally, I’ve gotten challenged enough, especially now, and would be fine coasting for the foreseeable future. I’m planning on a part time transition now but I’m pretty senior and will still have a lot of responsibility, so not as chill as what you’re considering.

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
