I have been working for a firm 3+, they raised me to be a paralegal and all my previous positions (legal assistant, admin, finally paralegal). I feel undersold on my salary and plan to have this discussion with my boss at EOY (we talk salary then). I received an email from another firm via indeed expressing interest to interview. I do love my firm and want to be loyal, would it hurt to interview? Has anyone regretted interviewing just for fun?

I’ve found that I’ve gotten my biggest bumps in pay when I either move firms or have an offer in hand and use that as leverage - one I put in my notice they are typically pretty quick with the “what can we do to keep you?”. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have your interview skills polished with the practice even if you’re not planning on taking the role.

Always good to interview in my opinion. Even if they give you an offer you have no obligation to take it

You can always entertain the interview and see what's out there and what the current offer would be. It's always a good practice to hone your interviewing skills. :-)

I’m interviewing with another firm next week. Has anyone made a switch like that before? How did you do it? I work in a small criminal firm now. Interview is with a same size/practice area firm.

I’ve been a paralegal for about 30 years in private law firmS. As I get older, I feel like it’s time for a semi-career change. Either an office manager position or perhaps a corporate position where I can travel a little since my kids are grown and I’m an empty-nester. Has anyone made this type of transition? Advise welcome.
