If I make a lateral move from midtier (RSM/BDO/GT) to Big 4 as an SM, am I setting up myself for failure and have zero hopes of making partner?

Depends on how much you know. Tax is NOT easy. But I think good chance you’ll be fine. Lol

Nope, you can make partner. Be vocal about wanting it and be amazing at your job. You got this.

No but you are starting over from the see Joe manager perspective - so let’s say you’re 3 years in at SM I wouldn’t expect to be up for partner in 3 years at the big 4- you could be but I would in no way expect it

Hi All,

I recently obtained my law degree and currently work for a BigLaw law firm as an assistant. I want to make the transition to the firm’s Litigation department because I want to practice international arbitration. How do I approach my HR department as well as the litigation bosses about transitioning to litigation? Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
