Honestly becoming an attorney advisor sounds like the dream job from where I’m sitting after three years in private practice. My biggest concern- can you practice in states outside the one your licensed in? Do you get a conditional license or something? The application says I just need to be licensed in ~a~ state, not ~the~ state I’m applying for. I would love to move and seize some bigger opportunities- not a ton in my current state.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

If anyone is wanting to discuss a switch to Deloitte Tax, DM me! I’m in Houston and we are currently hiring seniors and managers. Happy to submit referrals for other cities too.

How much will it hurt me to email and explain that I will be unavailable from 9/5 to 9/16 but I am extremely interested and don’t want to miss hearing from them if I have a chance for the position?
