Anecdotal but I stayed for 10 months instead of the required 12 and they didn’t make me pay anything back, though they could have just forgotten to ask. Or maybe it was my “bonus” for working a nightmare deal with a true asshole.

Clawback those fees following am early exit, you mean?

Correct

Yeah. Lateraled a little less then a year in. They asked for a proportional amount of the stipend they gave for bar study back.

Yes. I was leaving for a clerkship so I had my practice group leader (litigation) go to bat for me with the higher ups and they backed down. Depends why you’re leaving and if you have a partner you’re close to who can pull some weight for you.

Doesn't seem like the best way to get you to come back.

Anecdotal, but a friend left a biglaw shop after like 8 months and they made him return a pro rated amount of his post bar stipend.

MPLS CD salary range? CD/art relocated to MPLS during covid after a decade in NYC. I have had a unique, non-trad career. Got tapped to head/run/build in-house creative dept. at a high profile international design brand (not target). Truly a unique opportunity. Kicker—company wants to title role ACD but its not, its top creative mgmt role in company—headhunter agrees, can adjust title to CD. But, salary seems low, around 150-170k. Anyone know typical $$ for a CD in MPLS? Thanks!!

Looking at a complete pivot into a business analyst or even into a technical software role, but still trying to work out where to start.

Coming from an enterprise sales role and before that enterprise marketing. I've got a minor in accounting so have (very) basic formal commercial knowledge.

Would you recommend reaching out to recruiters to get an idea, completing a few online courses or building up my skillset on the side to eventually transition? I've accepted that there will be a paycut.

3 years of experience as a corporate lawyer.
Expecting an offer from both Deloitte India and Capgemini.
Deloitte India - Senior Consultant
Capgemini - Associate Consultant

Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.
Deloitte India has not yet communicated any offer, neither verbal nor formal.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.

Am I on the right track?
