Is Big Law actually worth it? I’m in my second year at an Am Law 20 firm, but I haven’t seen daylight in weeks. I wake up anxious and I’ve aged five years in the last eighteen months. I know I’m “lucky” to be here, and I worked my ass off to get it, but I’m seriously questioning if the prestige and paycheck justify the physical and mental toll. For those of you who’ve stayed, left, or lateraled, was it worth it in the long run?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Is an SDR in tech sales for a saas company typically a very challenging role? Do you feel a lot of pressure? Can the sales skill be learned?

What is the process for negotiating a job offer (from a firm or otherwise)? Do you have to be ready to ask for more salary/bonus/other perks right when they call you to make the offer, or can you ask for time to consider and then call back with your additional requests? I’m not the best at thinking quickly on the spot, so feel like I could be more thoughtful if I took a day or two to consider my requests.
