For zoom calls, I have the webcam clipped to the top of my monitor. I don’t really like that because it looks like I’m looking down when I am looking at my screen. Any ideas for a better option and good quality webcam?

I wouldn’t worry about it. Direct eye contact with zoom participants isn’t necessary. That being said I’ve seen people stand up their iPhones under their monitors behind their keyboards so the camera is pointed up at them. But then this just has the opposite effect you described.

We have teams and you can add the main monitor to the call and share that

Great! It’s a little awkward especially at first and maybe works better in a Zoom versus Teams call but it’s been helpful. I just slide it off to the side when I’m not on a call.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law.

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
