Do you ever worry that someone not liking you at your current company could affect your ability to enter other companies? I'm not sure if this is irrational ( I hope it is) but I think about it often and wonder if anyone else has these same thoughts.

Only in the case that you’re moving between companies in the same industry - I work in a fairly small segment of the Medtech industry and everyone knows everyone. There was a recent instance of a former colleague being screwed out of a job because the hiring manager called up someone they knew who told them to stay away from the applicant.

Aim to be someone people want to work with - that’s not the same as being liked.

good advice!

Oh it happens all the time, especially when cohorts of peers join the same company together.

Not so much, but it’s important to lay low until you figure out the peer groups.

Try not to share your journey with anyone and don’t even update social platforms like LinkedIn for a while. They can’t ruin what they don’t know!

haha good point!

I don't worry about things like that to a great extent, but I am aware that people's opinions can come into play as people move around. It's like the old expression about being nice to the people you meet on the way up as you'll run into them again on the way down. You just never know where or when you'll encounter people. So it's always good to be personable and don't go out of your way to have confrontations with coworkers.

very true

No, I don't really think about things like that. People not liking me is a them problem. And I don't know how they can hinder me from being great.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
