Haha no. It’s not one of the spots I’m interviewing with

You ask them to make you whole on your bonus forfeiture. You always pad the numbers. That’s your sign on bonus.

Yes - I asked and explained I was foregoing my annual bonus to come here. My old place paid the bonus in April and the new place in December.

The EA/Admin profession used to be a gateway for many people to get their foot in the door and grow into different career paths. For most organizations this is no longer the case. Do you see EA’s/Admins growing into different roles within your orgs? If so, what paths are taken? What steps are taken to get there? What I’d like to learn is whether our profession still has the capability to be a doorway or if others are seeing the same things I am; limited opportunities for development.

Anyone here counsel for a parent company with a lot of subsidiaries but the parent company’s legal department is really really small? I’m wondering if a small legal department for a large company is more of a pro or con? On one hand I suspect it’s less organized, on the other it might be a great leadership opportunity. Any insight? Thanks!
