Hi Guys, I lost my job to corona and have been looking for a week. I have been invited to interview for a Labor Relations Associate position with a company of about 5000 employees. Take it, leave it?

Was labour and employment part of your areas of practice? Getting experience in-house and being aware of the practical applications would not be wasted in transitioning back to a firm.

It shouldn’t. You’re trying to earn a living during a shutdown after being laid off. If a firm can’t discern as much, you don’t want to be there.

I would like to continue being a lawyer and ideally want to continue looking but am afraid if Corona continues I will be out of a job for a few months. Will taking this job destroy or hinder my law employment prospects? I left a prestigious firm and would like to maintain that upward trajectory but I also want to be smart and mindful of the current environment.

Go and check it out. But I doubt it pays anywhere near what you were making.
