I work at a lower AM100 firm with about 400 lawyers. Love my work and colleagues but I’m a little worried about succession. We have several young partners who are great, but many more that are much older and near the end of their careers. There are also areas where we have very few or no resources. For example we may only have 1 person with healthcare or FDA specialization, which are things I regularly need.

Are these major concerns that reveal a fading practice or am I overthinking this?

Seems like a good opportunity to inherit a great book of business at a young age.

For additional context, we have also had a few important young partners move to other firms recently.

I am moving soon into senior counsel role on partner track and just trying to assess any red flags for sticking with this practice

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.

Got an offer to work at a boutique PE fund as an intern for the next few months. The role is however unpaid and the fund is new.

For some background, I’m going to be starting at a T-2 firm doing CDD for PE funds in January. Wondering if getting this kind of experience looks good when I apply to analyst roles 1-2 years out? Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.

Hello. I am a Sr. Systems (Management) Analyst (equivalent to a Sr. Software Engineer), promoted to this position in 2019, from a Software Engineer position. I am doing really well and I always get great annual performance feedback. I work for a health insurance giant, that has a headquarters in MN (😉), but I am based in IN, with 10YOE total. I'm wondering how much I should be making, and if it is high time to ask for a raise or look for other opportunities and jump ship.
