Has anyone successfully cancelled Westlaw? Budget cuts have led leadership to ask me to revert to Google and favors, but we have 2 years left on a Practical Law subscription at $450/mo.? What can I do?

Did you tell them that you will probably have to end up asking a first year associate billing like 700 an hour the same questions you could just answer on practical law? Lol. I’m sorry, have no advice but that seems like a crappy thing to cancel.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
