Does firm ranking matter to get these positions? What is the pay like?

DM me if you want insight on Apple comp. Also there are lots of posts/threads about FAANG comp.

Doing commercial transactions and product counseling work now. WLB is pretty good but seems to be manager/group specific. My manager doesn’t micromanage and has a young family so he understands that people have a life outside of work.

i’m thinking about switching to tech transactions from litigation, can you give some detail about the type of work you do?

I did commercial cloud work at FAANG and worked mostly 30-40 hours a week. Sometimes more at end of quarter or if there was a big deal, sometimes less (like 20 when it was slow).

How's everyone doing?

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...

Any thoughts or advice or would this be a waste of time? This is more a defensive play.
