I’m assuming there’s good work life balance, but enjoy yourself now that you don’t have to go 1000mph anymore, you’ll figure the work out just fine. Take as much time as you need to decompress from the years of PA and get back into for fun things later on, no need to rush back into those things right away. You have the time and freedom to do you now

Sleep. It was mind blowing to see how much clearer my priorities could be when I wasn't running of 4 hours of sleep. Congrats on the move!

Be friendly to your co-workers. you do not switch teams, they are all you have until one of you leaves. I made a point to watch my face as I walk the halls smile and great everyone you see in the break rooms and halls, or my cube mate a good morning. When you leave, say goodbye - have a great night/enjoy the weekend.

Remember, the little things: if they have dogs, kids and ask about them periodically.

Work is work no matter where you go, but the relationships you build on will last forever - on Linkedin.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long.
