Honestly, your best bet is to join the in house counsel section of your local bar and start going to meetings and conferences. Make some connections to help get your foot in the door somewhere. However, be prepared to take a pay cut if it's something you really want.

This kind of thing is actually not very feasible for me. I have two small kids and am the primary parent (I do all pick up, drop off, dinners, and bedtime), so extracurriculars aren’t really much of an option, at least right now. Also, I’m not sure my pay could get a lot lower 😂😂😂

Currently in house in a litigation role (not employment).

Where there is a will there is a way. You can network online and go to some of the virtual events. Sometimes there are much smaller events that are pretty much free. If you have very little free time then you have to figure out how to best use that free time.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?
