Anyone else worried about getting laid off all the time?! An acquaintance billing 2000 hours at Kirkland got fired (I know Big Law but still) and I have been stressed ever since hearing that! Like, no matter how hard you work or how well you're doing, it might not be good enough in this economy. 😫

I have learned to never rely on an employer to act in my best interest. I always keep my resume polished, I always take interviews that I’m invited to, I regularly apply to interesting jobs to keep abreast of my options.

I’m not looking to leave but I’m always trying to be ready to if I need to be. In the meantime, I do my best to make myself valuable to the company. I’d like to stay but if the balance ever shifts and they don’t want me around, I’ll be positioned to land on my feet.

Also, save and invest as much money as you can. The prospect of being canned is less terrifying when you knock out your debts and build a nest egg. Make hay while you can, essentially.

You won’t get laid off if you have a book of business. Build a book and become indispensable!

I know, I know… easier said than done, but it is a solution and a possibility!

OP - Is your Kirkland acquaintance in the Kirkland real estate group?

Just do your best and you will be fine, whether it is at your current firm or at your next stop. This market situation is temporary, things will pick up.

If your more valuable then all other employees you should be doing your own thing anyway.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

-Multiple investments that investors can determine whether or not they want to invest in

-Ability for the Sponsor/Fund to invest directly, indirectly and in equity, debt, Pref, etc.
