Anyone made a jump to a different practice group? I’m about to enter my fifth year in bankruptcy and don’t think this is for me. I’ve always wanted to practice corporate law, but chose to chase the money out of law school and wound up feeling stuck in something I do not enjoy. For context, I work at an AmLaw 200 firm, was valedictorian of my class and am trying to jump into a remote position with an AmLaw 100, but could use some guidance.

I haven’t done this, but I know several people at my firm who had practiced in corporate or commercial (for several years) who then became litigators. They are very successful.

Definitely doable and I know someone in my group who made a similar jump. They had to take a class year cut though

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

Hi everyone!
Can you tell me how much you make and with how many YOE?

I know I'm being severely underpaid, I just want to know the range I SHOULD be making so I can bring it up with my employer so the eventual person in this position after me doesn't have to be in the same boat.

For reference: I make about $30k and I'm a (remote) graphic designer with 4 YOE and I do all the design work plus social media management for the company and outside clients. I also have multiple certifications. 🙃

Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
