You could probably pivot to securities, assuming you have a little exposure to capital markets and are at a pubco. I'm sort of the reverse of you - I'm our securities and M&A counsel but my real bread and butter background is securities, so I try to send everything I can to outside counsel or someone else internally because I really don't know much about the ins and outs of M&A. I know enough to get by but that's about it.

Damn... 300K sounds insanely good, especially for a c/o '21. Glad you also found something you enjoy doing. I'm very envious. Thanks for the insight!

Securities is awesome at a pubco...your busy times are predictable and known (absent unforeseen events). But id think it would be hard to pivot from a different practice area....company isnt going to want to train you or absorb large outside counsel fees while you learn

Procurement? Compliance?
Both had biglaw(ish) backgrounds. One moved into product by pretty much sheer networking at the old company I was at. The other applied for years and got into a large tech company leveraging her regulatory experience and contracting work. For what it’s worth, she says a lot of her job feels like a regular product manager with a legal slant to it to ensure compliance with applicable law (which she is trying to learn on the fly half the time).

Feel like you could pivot to almost any function that is involved in the M&A process given your exposure during the diligence and negotiation process

Most of my interactions are with business dev. A lot of the diligence was farmed out to outside counsel, but I could probably spin for commercial counsel role. I've heard this is usually a step down though, or is there higher level commercial work? Not sure if I'm missing other potential types of work I can do.

I do M&A at a pubco in combo with some strategic JV/partnership work. I figure if I ever leave I’ll look for a similar gig. I wouldn’t want to do pure commercial work as I like the deal/strategy aspect. I suppose I could land an SEC gig (did a healthy amount of it in big law and keep abreast of it now) but I find annual reporting pretty boring (though I admit it’s fairly easy once you get in the groove).
