I need advice-I’m based in DC, I was in big law until I recently lateraled to midlaw 4 months ago. I love the firm, the people, the pace, and the area of work, but it’s based in Knoxville and I’m expected to move there by Sept. I have family there, but I’m sad to leave DC. In my 12 year career, this is probably the first time I’ve been happy at work. And now the federal agency that I work most closely with is hiring, do I pursue the federal job that will let me stay in DC or move as planned?

I say apply for the Agency role. It can’t hurt and if you’re feeling that way about potentially staying then I say it’s worth exploring at a minimum. That said - good pace and good people are hard to come by, and it’s not closed off from you coming back to DC.

Thanks, you’re right on both counts!

Stay in DC if you can. Knoxville is a nice town, but DC is mecca for women lawyers.

So you took the job knowing you were expected to move to Knoxville by September???

Yes, I had to scramble for a new job (the partner I’d worked most closely with retired and the other partners didn’t like me very much). And I was lucky to find this job given the market last year.

Hey all, I am seeing almost all of the major auto insurance companies are currently hiring for adjuster positions. I’m always curious what it’s like at other companies. Who do you work for? How long have you been there? Are you working remote? What do you like about your company? Dislike?

I’m with Mercury. 15+ years. We are working remotely. I enjoy the people I work with and I’m paid well. I dislike the current volume of workload
