I started in commercial lit. Hated it. Saw an opening with an L&E firm and took it. I love L&E. It’s never boring

I can't speak to when it's time to leave since I've only worked in employment law, but it's such an interesting area of the law to practice. I rarely find myself doing the same thing from day to day, and no two cases are alike, so it constantly keeps you on your toes. I've also found that it's generally a great community to work in.

Every case is different and it’s generally a fun area of the law (as fun as the practice of law can be I guess). Interesting facts in all kinds of industries.

My first job out of law school was in employment law, and I just stuck with it. It’s a stable, sturdy area economy-wise and a good path to in-house. So I don’t have any plans of moving to another.

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
