I came from the field and thought I'd be the bridge between stores and corporate, but now store teams look at me like I've betrayed them and corporate thinks I'm too sympathetic to operations. I don't fit anywhere anymore. Has anyone else felt like they lost their tribe when they moved to the office?

Hang in there. It may take some time to gain trust while building relationships in your new position, as well as reassuring those you used to work side by side with that you value them as colleagues and can still relate with them regarding their work in operations.

Well said. It’s a tough transition, and the trust part definitely takes time. Appreciate this perspective.

Transitions are tough. How long have you been in this new role? It takes time to build rapport with corporate and time for your for your former teammates to get over it.

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
