I’m a junior transactional attorney (NJ/NY) with experience in M&A and general corporate matters. I stepped away from practice for a period and have been actively working to return, including staying current through CLE coursework and continued focus on transactional work. I’ve been exploring opportunities and speaking with recruiters, but I’ve found that the gap has been a consistent challenge in re-entering the market, even with relevant experience and continued engagement.

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate.

Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
