i’m in the commercial litigation group at my firm and thinking about moving to L&E. the partners in L&E give me much more work and it’s radio silence from Lit partners. i’ve been at this firm 6 months & i’m a 4th year. Is making the transition a good idea? i want to keep my options open for an in house position in the future just in case i don’t make partner

I’m biased, but think your in-house options will be far superior as a L&E associate than a general lit associate.

What firm’s L&E group is this busy? Currently looking for L&E positions.

Depending on the firm, your partnership prospects may be worse in L&E, but you will likely have more in-house opportunities. I made the switch years ago from general lit to L&E, and I find employment litigation way more interesting.

L&E is a good option for sure, but make sure the group is solid reputation wise and workflow wise.

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.
