I was always a coward to say to my boss I got an offer and will leave the agency. Nowadays with the WFH situation, do I schedule a zoom meeting? Any advice how would you do it?

PS: I don't want a counter offer, I've already made up my mind.

Schedule a call and say some version of “hey, so I’ve decided to take a new role elsewhere. My last day will be the XXth. I appreciate all the opportunities you’ve given me over the years, is there anything I can do to make this a smooth process for you? I’ll send you this same information in writing after this call. Any questions?”

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.

Hi,

7 year lawyer here. Been with the same big national firm all 7 years (not BigLaw) doing complex litigation. Been working remote a long time due to moving around for wife’s job. As a result of the moving was bumped off partner track. I’m looking at a great small firm that will be a practice change (but still litigation). I’m told they’re looking for someone with less experience and they’re skeptical because of my experience. It’s frustrating. How do I overcome this?

We are looking to hire a FTE for systems integration. We are using Mulesoft as an IPAAS. I’m part of the hiring team. The pay is 6 figures it is fully remote, the benefits are insanely good and it can be your second job if you are very good. If you are great, it’s probably 15-20 hours of work per weeks. If you are good enough, I will even cover for you to coordinate with your primary job. DM me if you are interested as I’m tired of the crappy recruiting company we are contracted with.
