Hey guys - why isn’t there any activity in this bowl? I feel like we have so few platforms to have honest conversations with other staff and I’m tired of reading the attorneys’ out of touch posts in the big law bowl 😭 let’s open up a convo about about job security - how are people feeling in the current market given layoffs and that transactional deals still aren’t back? I’m currently wary but also trying to plot my exit strategy out of legal marketing when the market improves

Honestly, I believe Business Development (BD) Specialists have job security due to the high performance expectations. Not everyone is willing to do the work year long. However, my current role feels overwhelming. I'm responsible for 4-6 practice groups, and also part of the CLE, events, and marketing teams, handling tasks like alerts, weekly summaries, and other administrative work.

I'm consistently working 50-55 hours a week. Is this typical for law firms, or is it specific to mine?

Also curious to know what other firms BD or Marketing specialist are like. I don’t wanna waste my life working 55 hours a week for a low pay job (100k-115k)

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”
