Got an interview with Amazon within their Advertising department. I hear working for Amazon can be great if you get into the right department. Anyone have insights to their advertising department? Good or bad? Also, would love some interview tips if you have them! (It’s for an Executive Assistant position) thank you!

I've lateraled twice and both were the best things I could have done for me. I think it all depends on why you're lateraling. The first time I lateraled I was getting zero substantive work and was not growing. I was afraid I could stick around for a few years, but have no actual transferable skills. The second time I lateraled was because I wanted to specialize and was way too busy but mainly because I felt like my group was way understaffed and I was the only mid-level.
If you're lateraling strictly because you're too busy and going to another biglaw gig where you'll be equally busy, it's not really going to solve your problems. If you're lateraling because your team culture is toxic, then maybe lateraling makes sense.

Not what you’re looking for, but I went to another firm in hopes of better lifestyle and just felt like worse work, worse colleagues, just as many hours, way less pay. Hated it. Back at my original firm now with newfound appreciation and liking it.
Went away - same hours. Came back. Mid level (especially upper) transactional face supply issues. Can’t avoid it (as far as I can tell). If your not getting PAID don’t leave. If you are getting paid - how much worse could it get - money = freedom eventually if you don’t blow it
I absolutely loathed my old firm and my new firm came with a better work-life balance AND double the salary. Wins all around!
I felt very underesourced where I was (no lateral or vertical support other than the one partner I worked with 98% of the time, who did not like to do any drafting or substantive work). I was working from 8:30 AM to midnight or later daily during the week plus ~5-8 hours a day over the weekend. There was little to no hope for real help on the horizon (we were not competitive enough to hire useful lateral talent in this market).
So far, I'm working a lot at my new firm, but not nearly as much. I'm hoping this is not 100% a temporary condition due to summer. Fundamentally, there's a much deeper bench here and some actual structure to group management that has worked in my favor so far (I've actually been able to say no to work and that's been respected).
6th year associate. Lateraled from coastal big law back home to the Midwest equivalent of big law. Money was really similar. COL went way down. Hourly expectations went way down. Got my daughter close to family. Worked out incredibly.
I’ve placed a number of associates who’ve straight out told me it’s for the signing bonus money. They often had never moved, or if a mid-level/senior associate they might have once. They were also more likely to go to a firm with a shorter, more rigid partner track. But really, money was a huge factor.
A6, I’m in a corporate support role. We have like 0 corporate people left, which makes it hard to staff deals… so the corporate team turns down deals, which means we get staffed on fewer deals.

I’m thinking of lateraling again in the new year, after bonus time. I’m getting senior enough that my next move needs to be my last if I’m going to join another firm. Currently at my second firm. Maybe it’s because I joined right before the pandemic, but I never really found a place here. The work isn’t more sophisticated, the office isn’t more collegial or team-like, and the support staff and resources are worse even though it’s a higher ranked firm. It’s just… not a good fit, after all. Also, the hours have been insane, and all we get are platitudes rather than help. I figure I could get a few more years of Biglaw salary if I take advantage of the current market, maybe get bumped back a year or two.
I actually miss my old firm and colleagues, but the reason I left is still a problem, so I can’t really go back… (Practice leader is close to retirement, and the young partner set to inherit her practice is a sexist prick who I hated working for.)
I know four mid levels who moved in the last 6 months (from my firm). They all moved because of how this firm treated them, the quality of work, and money (in that order).
I lateraled to new firm to broaden my practice area. It has been the worst decision I’ve ever made career-wise — I’m staffed as a junior associate under people who have no clue what they’re doing so I’m not learning anything, and my day now consists solely of ministerial tasks that my prior firm would have had a paralegal do. It feels like a total dead end job.
I lateraled once from a secondary market big law office to a large regional firm. It is lawyer utopia. If you are willing to move to a secondary market, check out firms’ reputations - rankings for top work-life balance put me on the right path and I’m so happy to be at my firm. It saved practicing law for me. Otherwise I’d have gone back to my former career in sales or just stayed home with my kids - neither of which is what I wanted. I genuinely enjoy being a lawyer, but only because I love my firm.
ETA - I’m a 7th year corporate lawyer and I’m about to make partner next year. I’ve been at my current firm for 5 years.
I lateraled from one PI firm to another in Seattle, and the bonus structure at the second firm is much more beneficial to me and the attorney team meetings are great, the caseloads are bigger (but you want that with bonuses based on settlements) and I just feel like I fit in better
I lateraled about 8 months ago from biglaw to a large boutique. Things are rough for transactional folks across the board. I don’t regret moving though. The percentage of partners who respect weekend time is higher here than at my previous firm. I’m also on track to bill 1950 this year (pro rated for when I moved), whereas last year around this time I was on track for 2500. It’s not ideal, but it’s definitely better.
I moved 6 months ago and it has been great. Also a mid-level transactional associate. I felt super confident about the group I was joining because the interview process was so long I had gotten a chance to know everyone and talk to them multiple times. I miss the people at my old firm, but the move was definitely a good choice.
