I have an excellent resume as a corporate attorney, have great references and experience, am a likeable person but am in the process of being laid off due to COVID. What are my prospects of finding a job once the firm cuts me loose? Any tips for how to best position myself? I am very flexible about what type of job I will take and salary. My only hard no is working long hours at a sweatshop.

I hope you aren't waiting until the firm cuts you to look for jobs. You should sign up for LinkedIn premium (30 days free). Also check indeed and Glassdoor now. Update your LinkedIn in profile and make sure you change your status to ready to work. Good luck!!!

Just cannot get into my job lately. I don’t know if it’s the hormones, the upcoming FET transfer next week, or if I’m truly just over my company. I’ve been there 5 1/2 years. I started out as an executive assistant and last year I created a path for myself for communications. Almost a year into the role, a new manager was brought on, to my surprise. She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant

Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctc: 13 lpa

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa.
After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

Queries:
1. Is this normal or rare case, reducing the offer amount from what quoted initially?
2. Should I accept or negotiate?

I don't have any other offer as of now.

Crossposted. Looking for advice. I’ve got 10+ years as an attorney and have been trying to go in house for over a year.

Not getting many interviews and when I do, I’m not getting offers despite positive interviews. How do I differentiate myself? Should I get some sort of certification or specialty? This is getting depressing.
