To get ahead in this industry you always needed to be a self starter. That’s not new. You need to take control of your own career. That includes understanding when an industry is dying and pivoting

Once or twice a week, stay at the office till 6 and see who’s still working — ask them what you can help with.

That’s the shortest cut I know to getting exposure to projects you’d otherwise be waiting years for.

Oh I stay at the office until 8

So far all good advice. In my observation GenZ is pretty entitled but also unmotivated. Shouldn’t be too hard to outrun the weaker antelopes.

I don’t work with any juniors, but if I did I would tell them to get out of this industry ASAP.

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted. The comparable positions at my company are filled by one of the big executive search firms. Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!
