Considering a move in finance from a mid-tier uk to L+W. Does anyone have insight on the uk practice wlb? Also I’m aware of their stealth layoffs during previous downturns. Would you consider it high risk to move now and be exposed to an easy sacking during the 6 months probation?

I’m a 3rd year lit associate in BigLaw and fortunate to have earned substantive early experience—taking depos, arguing discovery motions, full ownership of briefing, case management while working closely with the partner on the strategy. I burned out and the pandemic reminded me it’s nice to see my husband. I’m considering a (nonBigLaw) transactional role. I’m nervous- of course I have transferable skills, but I’ve been living off my lit skills. Any advice or has anyone else felt this way?

I work in customer service and I'm considering a role at another major airline. It pays more as it is a full-time role with a rotational shift pattern (4on/2off). At my company, full-time might not be an option soon and the shift pattern (5/2) is fixed for a whole year. I am unsure because although I am very attached to the airline I am working with, I really would like a more flexible approach to my work/life balance, considering I am living abroad for this job. Would this be enough to switch?
