Have any of you switched internal teams or switched partners you worked for? My firm has multiple teams in my practice area. I was hired for one but kind of want to work for another team that I’ve worked with a bit

I am in the process of doing that. I have asked for more with the practice area that I desire to transition to. This entails working longer hours and having tighter deadlines with more workload. So far I am getting more involved and has worked.

I tried, the partner I worked for said no, and I told him I was likely going to leave and left a few months later.

Came back to the firm a few years later when the partner I wanted to work for had an opening.

The firm welcomed me back with welcome arms, I think because I was transparent about the whole thing.

Are you really being hired to work for a specific partner? Isn’t hiring usually for a practice group?

This partner had a ton of work
Probably 7 lawyers only doing her work

A few people at my firm did this, either by getting in really well with important partners or by requesting to move to a team they’d previously successfully worked with that had a really serious/desperate need.

Hi Fellow Fishies,

I am reaching out because I was recently contacted to interview for Cigna Provider Engagement Development Program. I wanted to see if I could connect with anyone on here that I can help give a breakdown of what this program entails, day-to-day, and WLB. Any tips on the interview and interview process for anyone working in this position? I would be truly grateful for any help or information that can be provided!

Dealing with some shit. Started a new job remotely (I’ll be moving there in Jan). First few weeks great. Now about 5 weeks in I’m getting feedback from my CD like “this isn’t where it needs to be” “we need you to push this” also snarky emails about my attempts at fixing the problem. It’s not hurt feelings so much (although tbh I am a little wounded) but how do I prevent this from turning into a downward spiral? I fear the kind of spiral where his opinion of me colors how he sees all future work
