I feel like I’m trapped in this forsaken field

Kamala Harris is really living rent free in some of your heads 😂😂

Anyone else watching the US Open this evening? Who are you rooting for? 🇺🇸 🇪🇸

Got a job offer from a client yesterday and a phone call from the Project Lead 2 hours later telling me the client is interested in us doing another project.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Hi All,

Folks - anyone has experience with h1 transfer RFE? Have folks been getting them recently? Also, any exp with PWC immigration?

Hi Everyone,
I am currently working for KPMG. Really looking for someone interesting people for a relationship. Currently single. Any preference in Big4 is not there, just that I wish to be friends with people who don’t show any attitude.

If you know of anyone in Amsterdam looking for an Sr/CD Art Director, hit me up.
I'm in US at the moment but I wouldn't need a visa to work there.
Got experience, awards and press
Cheers

How does knowledge management work in the UK Strayegy& practice - where the best place to go for previous decks and work?

I want to move to Europe or New Zealand. I am educated/barred in the US and only speak English. Is this hopeless, or are there opportunities out there for someone like me?

Fwiw, T14, V50 big law, F50 in-house. Antitrust/competition/sales/marketing/business strategy and ops.

Cross-posting.

If anyone needs a cfa tutor Dm me I tutor all levels.

Question for Sales leaders who’ve said “I did an analysis and concluded we just need more at bats”.

Does it feel like you’re saying something useful? Or are you also writing a book titled “In order to get rich you just need more money”?

Hi,

KPMG has mentioned in offer that they shall provide reimbursement for purchase of home computer for 1L once every 3 years

Is this right???

Are we allowed to dish on how ineffective recruiters are? I’d really like to Yelp bomb a specific recruiter for being so ineffectual, unresponsive, negligent, and ghosting

Heads up. The Bar just emailed out invitations for two free online CLEs in the first week of may. I've been doing these Zoom courses as they are offered and it's going to significantly reduce my end of the year stress.

Are there any lawyers that moved to healthcare tech (non-legal related positions)? That would include medical devices, AI, robotics, etc. Would love to learn from your experience.

Parents always wanted me to become a doctor, so did I. However, did not do very well around blood. :))

Thank you!

I found out that I can make more money starting, buying and running businesses than I can in law. Plus I'm home at 6pm every night. Did anyone find that out?

Does anyone have any insight on Lewis Brisbois in Providence?

I’m interviewing for a GC role at a company that’s never had in-house counsel before. I’ve never been a GC - what questions should I be asking?

Anyone successfully pivot to education? Any advice is appreciated. I applied for Director of Student Services role that seems really interesting.

I can’t get out. I’m a barred attorney looking to move into a JD preferred role. I don’t like being at a firm. I’ve applied to hundreds (literally) of contract, compliance, regulatory, etc. sort of jobs. I’m not looking for a crazy salary either. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. How do I make the switch? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

What is a typical paycut expected for a midlevel in biglaw going to an in-house legal department (NYC corporate)?

Has anyone pivoted to a fed gov job in the intelligence space? Such as a civilian intelligence specialist, etc. would be curious to hear your path! Thanks.

I work with great people. Really can’t say anything bad about my firm in general either. But…I still dislike the entire premise of law firm life, the billable hour, etc.. I’d love to work in a law school setting as a counselor or something but I can’t afford the pay cut. *sigh* Does anyone feel like being a lawyer is just doing homework all day? First world problems I suppose. I’m very thankful to have a job ❤️

I’ve been practicing in both big law (many yrs ago) and now in-house for over 10 years. Quite often I struggle because I don’t find work fulfilling. I’ve been in industries that allegedly have greater cause (healthcare) but was eventually disappointed by the corporate bureaucracy and went to a cutting-edge tech company for intellectual stimulation. Still I struggle. Should I try public interest? Not that I don’t need the money but it’s hard to work when I am so detached and find it meaningless

Which biglaw corporate practices are most attractive for in house? Currently do a mix of ECVC and M&A and looking to focus on the former but don’t want to close any doors down the line.

Has anyone here left their job due to burnout?

If yes, what are you doing now or what do you plan to do? How has the experience been?

What exit opportunities exist for international arbitration? I don’t want to litigate, and am a non-American so government jobs (which seem to be what my colleagues are exiting into) aren’t an option for me. I don’t ever see myself making partner (nor do I want to), and I feel totally stuck.

Are there recruiters who specialize in or have opportunities in non practicing attorney or jd preferred roles? I don’t want to litigate anymore but I really need help finding a non practicing role. I wonder if there are recruiters who do this.

Has anyone made the transition from non-profit and small firm practice to federal government, big law, in-house? I’m a special education parent attorney at a small firm and I’ve spent my legal career in the education and juvenile areas of the law working for 2 non-profits before ending up at the firm. However, I’m just exhausted, unmotivated, and and looking for a change. At this point (6.5 yrs of practice), is that type of transition even possible or am I stuck due to the practice area?

One of my junior associates recently resigned and I've been trying to make an exit myself for several months now. The job market has been really competitive but I am getting closer to getting a new job and moving on. The firm culture isn't great and work-life balance is non existent. My physical and mental health have been suffering, so I really don't think I could stay. How did you avoid the guilt trips from Partners/Senior staff trying to get you to stay?

I need out of the legal field for a job with independence, interesting and challenging issues to solve and a decent amount of pay. Halp!
