I am seven years out of law school having worked exclusively in the public sector. I’m concluding a district court clerkship and about to begin working as an AUSA (criminal). The USAO has a three year commitment. If I choose to leave after that time, what are my job prospects in big law? Relatedly, what sort of work should I focus on at the USAO if I want to ensure that I am marketable to big law? I may get to the Office, love it, and never want to leave. But, I want to keep my options open.

How many of you have a "side hustle" in addition to your full-time job?

I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of taking on a consulting gig that would be 7-10 hours a week, and about $22-25k a year, paid out on a monthly retainer.

Does it make sense to hire someone with UX design knowledge at an in-house company? We have one main website and two smaller websites (merch and media) and no mobile app. We have two candidates for an open graphic designer position but one has UX design experience and is asking for more pay. We aren’t creating new websites or anything, but that person might be updating the main Wordpress site. How might that skill set benefit us?

Some advice would be helpful. Thanks!

What’s a fair expectation for my first raise? I’m in-house at a publicly traded co with ~2500 employees. I’ve been doing litigation with the company for almost 3 yrs and have only had a 2% cost of living raise so far. Graduated in 2014. Base comp is $127.5k in the Philly area. I see salaries all over the place in this site and it’s hard to tell whether mine is competitive.

Here is my issue. I left my firm this summer for an opportunity I should have known was to good to be true. I realized it wasn’t what I was led to believe. Was able to return to my old firm. The return was “a favor”. But includes conditions. I am not happy, and need a change and honestly more money now rather than in 6-8 months. I knew it would be ruff when I went back but I didn’t expect it to be this ruff. Is my recent history gonna be a huge hurdle to even get an interview?
