Are there litigation jobs out there that are all/mainly writing? I kinda like getting a task, taking a position and going. I can do without client contact, absurd posturing with opposing counsel, etc.

Best way is to work for an appeals only firm or shadow someone who only does appeals. Search the hashtag appellate on LinkedIn and you'll find interesting people to ping or follow.

Law and motion jobs are going to be a better fit if you prefer just to write. You may also want to look into working as a clerk for judges.

Scenario: You’re interviewing with a Series A startup, funding was ~20 mil. Founders are Ivy leaguers, ~100 full time employees, you’re not in loveee with the role, product is something you do see some potential in being disruptive in the industry. Catch is, they switched the role on you that initially you applied for, new role is lower comp, lower equity (4 year vesting with 1 year cliff), likely less stress though. Base is a ~20% cut from your current base. Do you take the role? Discuss!

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love. Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated. I don’t wanna do healthcare, but it seems like it’s the only thing available in NYC nowadays. I also don’t have many connections in this city.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
