Any tips on switching up practice areas as a young attorney? I transitioned from a law clerk to an attorney at my current firm (insurance coverage) during the pandemic. I was very grateful for the job during a time when things were up in the air, but I really do not like the work I’m doing. I’m looking to try to move into a different area of law (preferably in the real estate realm), but almost all of my legal experience is in insurance coverage and/or defense.

Currently work as a VP of Sales with 15 YOE. Im managing a large team and revenue target for a growing business. The money is good but I can’t help this nagging feeling of doing something else.

For example I know McKinsey has their implementation business where they’ll hire experienced sales and marketing execs. What other opportunities are out there? Is the pay good? What’s the WLB like?

Thoughts on leaving a new job you’ve only been in for a few months? Started at a new firm in advisory and really don’t like it. Not what I thought it was going to be. I want to get out but how would that look to other employers? Most of the reason why I don’t like the new group is because of the people/team. I wish I could go back and look into another firm. I think I want to go industry now. Thoughts on leaving so soon?

Hey fellow designers,

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

I have had a couple of interviews with good startup product companies where the main issue is my 90 days of notice period. Most startups simply run away at the mention of 90 days NP.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?

I was very successful as an internaional sales exec at a startup for 15 years before we were bought by a large publicly traded company. The culture shift was dramatic, as was the way that I was expected to work. I was laid off a tortuous 3 years after the buyout.

While I was in some ways relieved (put me out of my misery!) I spiralled pretty hard and after a while started working PT jobs, gig type stuff, etc. while I figured things out, and healed from burnout.

Got a LinkedIn message from a former coworker from my last law firm. He’s up for partner this year and asking for business. What he doesn’t remember is that last time I saw him, he was busy bussing my junior associate, who is now with me inhouse at the same company (same practice, different group). Should I give my junior the matter?

I’ve been practicing for 5 years and am getting burnt out on firm life. I would love to go in house but I don’t really have the traditional practice background - I’ve done mostly professional liability, with some labor and employment.

Any advice for a junior lawyer trying to move from litigation to corporate? My firm is in a unique situation in that the associates working in corporate have largely left (for explainable reasons) or are on leave, the partners know that they need more associates doing this work, and they’re willing to train me, but as a second year lawyer who’s been doing almost exclusively litigation, the learning curve seems SO steep. I badly want out of litigation and I’d love to jump on this!
