That’s very specific: why Toyota or Nike?

I love Toyota’s culture and I have a passion for cars. They’re also huge in North Texas, which is where I grew up. I love sneakers and I collect Sneakers so being at Nike would allow me to also be connected to a passion. I also wouldn’t mind working for the NBA after as I’m a huge basketball fan.

I know EY loves to tag everything under business consulting. What exactly do you do in business consulting? That could impact your odds

Hey there! First post here 😊

I've done a lot of self-work this year re: where I've been most successful and fulfilled over my last ten years.. I'm 32 and have been in sales, sales leadership, and business leadership (I've been a ceo and am currently head of sales at a start up).

All that said, I'm looking for some words of wisdom on how to pivot to sales ops, Rev ops, or GTM strategy. The latter probably being my preference.

References, wisdom, and general advice appreciated!!

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?
