I need some career advice.

Government attorney here. I was recently told I'm being placed on a PIP. I've never directly received any negative feedback on my performance but I was told that my supervising attorney felt she was spending too much time reviewing my work. This is the first time I was given this feedback.

I was already job searching but the market sucks. Just got an offer today in an area of law I'm not excited about. (Continued in the comments)

Take the job. 100%.

Thank you. I think I am!

Definitely take the job. Red flag enough that it would be public record, but specially if they put you in a PIP without giving any signs of it first.

Thank you so much for your advice. Yes. It's a massive red flag and incredibly frustrating. I've had years of positive feedback before this. The conversation came out of the blue 1 month after a death in the family.

I don't think there's any point in fighting it, especially since I dream of specializing in L&E.

I'm thinking about taking this role to ensure that my PIP doesn't get added to my personnel file, which would be a public record. I'm still going to try to network/apply to roles in my ideal area of practice.

Should I take it? Is this career suicide?

Thank you so much! I will.
