Early in my career, I expected clarity to come with experience. Now I have more context… but also more trade-offs. Fewer clear answers, more judgment calls.
Did your job get clearer or more complex over time?

I think it got clearer but there's always new issues with new complexities!

More complex, and I think that's actually the point. The easy problems get solved or automated. What's left is the stuff that doesn't have a clean answer. You get better at navigating ambiguity but the ambiguity doesn't go away, it just gets more interesting.

Agree with the fact that it does get more interesting

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K

Hi All - I’m at a firm that has some infrequent in-house training but not enough to help me develop skills to eventually become a trial lawyer.

Does anyone have any mock trial programs they’ve participated in outside of their firms that they would recommend?
