Is anyone out there having a good time? Seems like every agency is fighting over every crappy pitch ‘opportunity’, workload is high, and pay rise and promotions are non-existent. This industry sucks.

Happy at Leo’s. We keep winning (some without pitching) new businesses, and consistently produce some of the best work out there atm. Growing a tiny bit too fast and definitelly feeling the pressure, but it’s exciting times overall!

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
