Hi all! I’m a recent transplant to the USA, foreign qualified in New Zealand. Worked on global issues with counterparts across the world. Have experience in startups, international contracting, litigation and foreign policy. Finding it hard for someone to take my experience seriously. Ideally would like to work in-house as I have experience. I’ve interviewed with a few tech companies with global offices but nothing has progressed. Am now reluctantly sitting the bar. Any advice?

About to hit my 6 year anniversary (fully vested 401k) and I'm frustrated by the lack of upward mobility and the terrible splits in revenue vs compensation but I'm worried about giving up job security. Honestly, complacency has gotten the best of me and I'm looking for some advice.

I am a fairly new corporate counsel for tech company. What does “career progression/growth” mean or look like on average?

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I'm the only consultant on a small project. I'm a new college hire. My SC is 29 and had 5 years of experience at a startup before coming to D. I am literally the fucking village idiot. Nothing...

How do I go from SDR/BDR to being a Sales Engineer?

Is a Business Analyst closer in job role to a Consultant or a project Manager?
I have recently joined a service based consulting firm, with my role as a BA in Banking domain but wish to get into PM roles in the near future. I'd deeply appreciate your inputs from your career journey or any suggestions to eventually create a strong profile for PM roles in Big tech firms.
I'm sure this thread would help a lot of aspiring PMs learn from your journey

Hello fishes,

I have 6 and half YOE in front end development. (angular and hybrid applications). I joined my current organization ( product based) in Feb for 24LPA. The work here is too stressful and there is absolutely zero WLB. So I decided to start looking out again. However I am not getting good interview calls. Are most companies not hiring now ? Or could it because my CTC is too high ?

Is it unprofessional to do an online interview from your phone?

I'm a new adjuster but have great metrics and feel I'm doing fairly well. My family is struggling living paycheck to paycheck. I've been with my company about 7 months but I feel other companies pay more. I don't want to leave though. Any tips for asking for a salary increase? I was promoted a few months in to a tier 2 but no pay raise goes with that.

Thanks for any advice.. I'm at 47k a year. I wanted to go SIU but obviously there is no immediate significant pay bump. Ultimately aiming for 60k

I’ve really lost my confidence in the last few years on some awful gigs! I’ve been @ this a decade+, produced jobs up to $1M, but just can’t get back on the horse. I need work, more freelance or staff. How do I approach a HOP for a producer or Jr role instead of a Sr? I’ve trained so many PA’s, I want mentorship too. A prior HOP had me almost running the Dept, they were so stressed but now I don’t want that pressure. Would it be so bad for your AP to have Sr prod skills?! Or let me Jr BA. Help!

What's the point of asking to write code in an interview, if all we do is search in google or stack over flow. 🤔

How do you get better at interviewing?

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

I'm assuming that every week on the bench drops utilization by ~2%. Am I correct in this assumption?

Hey there - anyone has taken indeed’s apm assessment?

I graduated from GSU majoring in Film and Art. I have begun studying Art Direction at a portfolio school that is unexpectedly closing down.

I’m currently on a secondment to a client in a lit/regulatory role and this is so much better than life at a firm, I love it here. What are the downsides that I’m not seeing? Is it just the money or are these positions just really hard to get?

I’m going from law firm to in-house in a few weeks. Any tips? Advice? Dos? Don’ts?

Anyone have insight on working in-house at Tesla?

Let’s talk Salary. I’m seeking an in-house counsel position as an Associate at a large financial institution. Headquarters is San Antonio, TX. I have 13+ years of Regulatory experience in other industries and 3 years at a large financial institution. I researched on Indeed and there was only one salary posted. I’m currently employed at the company in the legal department in a non-attorney position. I’d appreciate any feedback on salary ranges or strategies on negotiating a pay increase.

What is the hierarchy at your company and the salary differential for each position? We have staff attorney, associate general counsel, assistant general counsel, deputy general counsel, and then general counsel. Thx. I would guess that the ranges are about $25k differential per position.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good recruiters for someone going from a law firm to an in-house position?

What is your legal department’s structure? It’s time that I restructure my department of 4, about to take on two new hires and I need inspiration. Does the commercial vs corporate structure work? Do you have dedicated legal ops and what do they focus on? What are your tiers and qualifications for each? Does everyone work on the sell side? I am curious to know what works for everyone’s department.

Are there any good networking associations or opportunities for in-house counsel? I’ve heard of ACC but that it’s not super active in my area (Boston)

Anyone ever leave a job and come back within a few weeks? If so, do you regret it? Were people excited you were back or did you get the cold shoulder? Im in a situation where I was basically sold a lie and now I’m distrustful of the new employer. I was actually happy at my prior job but couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Had I known then what I know now, I would have never accepted. Naturally, I’m regretting my decision and I’m hopeful I could have my old job back. Thoughts? Experiences?

I work at a large, global software company, and am looking to make a move to a more collaborative environment with better culture. I’ve been offered a more senior position at a smaller North American company in the crypto space where I know I will learn a lot, but I’m worried it might hurt my overall career trajectory. Eventually I plan on moving internationally. When it comes to searching for a new position, does company size/reputation matter more than the experience you have at the company?

I am applying to some in-house positions at tech companies and was pressed in one screener interview to say what I thought my base salary should be. I’m curious what an acceptable answer would be?

I have 6 years experience in Big Law. Focused primarily on patent litigation. Applying to roles in the Bay Area. Primarily applied to roles focused on general litigation and IP litigation. I’ve applied to tech companies ranging from FAANG to start-ups.

Any insights welcome.

Well-traveled people: what seem like the best major market cities to live in with access to great in-house jobs (FAANG, adjacent companies, etc.). Some markets seem like really fun places to live but seem insanely expensive (San Fran, DC). Others seem like great comp to cost of living ratios but you seem like you’d basically be in a boring suburb (Raleigh, etc.) or have major drawbacks (arctic weather in Chicago, etc.). Maybe I’m totally off base though. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

If I’m in house after 3-4 years big law, am I just stuck at 200-300k for life? Is there any upward mobility?

How do I get a FAANG in-house position? Currently in-house at a publicly traded tech company, but the pay is super low. I applied to FAANG many times but never hear back. Where do I search for the positions, and how do I get their attention?

Has anyone ever regretted leaving a law firm to go in house?
