If I got a manager for employment claims’ position is it hard to pivot to an associate counsel role etc? What do you think the main difference between the two are? Is it a good position for a stepping stone to in house counsel?

It sounds like a JD, non lawyer position, is it? Sorry if I’m misunderstanding! I wouldn’t take any non traditional non attorney roles if in house was my goal.

It sounds like the kind of role I would take if I wanted to scale back, but not if I wanted to remain in practice.

If I’m interviewing for a role and one candidate is currently in-house and the other is in a JD preferred role, I’ll be inclined to the in-house candidate. Stepping into a non-attorney role with the hopes of getting back on track is risky

I took a non traditional, non attorney role as compliance officer fresh after passing the bar. It took about 7 years but I finally made it to in house counsel. My advice is that if you accept that type of role, then be ready to grind it out to get to your ideal position/title.

What exactly is a manager for employment claims? Is it an attorney role?

Yeah what I’m saying is that if you can’t point to a way this non-lawyer role would you a competitive edge for a later l&e role, you’re going to lose out to vanilla atty candidates. You are the only one with enough knowledge to know if there is any way to spin this role, bc it doesn’t look like it from the outside

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
