I’m deciding between two in-house roles and would appreciate any insight from those who have made similar transitions.

Option 1: Associate General Counsel at a private company, focused on collections, litigation, and compliance. It offers a strong legal title but has little structure, requires five days in-office, and is farther from home.

Option 2: Claims role at an insurance company, handling coverage and risk assessment. offers better work-life balance with only two days in-office.

I’d say it depends on what your long term goals are. If you plan on staying at whichever role you choose, I’d go with option 2/the insurance role. If you plan on eventually leaving, I’d go with option 1/the AGC role - you can stay for a couple years and use it as leverage for something better, using the distance and 5-days in person as an explanation as to why you decided to leave (there are plenty of hybrid and remote in house roles out there). I think it’d be harder to find future in house roles with option 2 since insurance is super hard to get out of.

TLDR: option 2 is definitely the best option if you don’t plan on leaving that industry or specific role. Option 1 for future growth potential.

Deloitte experienced hires, who all received written offers and in process of visa/ onboarding, have you heard back anything about hiring freeze? Or recruiter asked you to delay joining date?

My visa got submitted couple of days back and waiting for decision. When I reached out to recruiter to give her an update and mentioned once there’s decision will discuss on the start date before putting my 2 weeks, she mentioned “Yes, we should talk before you put notice” - Am I overthinking?

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
