I left the asbestos world as defense counsel in 2019 because I thought the field was dying? Asbestos was banned so all the Plaintiffs are either dead or really old. Further, I heard Covid killed the travel that I liked because now everything virtual. However, I'm sure others with more recent experience can opinion.

I left because all the partners at my old firm were mid 60s and about to retire. I was too young to retire with them. All of the younger folks then left

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
