Mid size Atlanta firm here. I had graciously given my firm plenty of advance notice that I was moving to Seattle this summer (irony/no good deed goes unpunished) since I knew a lot of attorneys would be out on maternity leave when I was planning to move. I was called yesterday and pressured to move up my end date and shift to a contract attorney role (aka no health insurance coverage). Feel pretty taken advantage off / pushed out on freaking day one of this crises.

This thing is just getting started. If a big firm has already performed layoffs, those were already in the works, or the firm was already in deep trouble.

Need some advise. I am fairly young/junior in the industry and was included in COVID layoffs. While searching for new positions I worry about moving to a less prestigious agency and stunting my career or not being able to find work at all. I am leveraging connections that I can but am feeling really overwhelmed with this transition. Any tips?

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…
