Hope everyone is doing well! I’d love some advice. I currently work in house as an attorney for an entertainment company and was recently recruited for a corporate counsel position at a marketing company. The company is reputable and offering just over double what I currently make. I love the entertainment industry but don’t want to leave a lot of money on the table. Is it possible to leave an industry for a couple years and make my way back or is it going to be difficult to return? Thank you!

He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
