Is the ABV certification worth getting? I don’t want to work in valuations but work on a lot of transactions and would like to gain a better understanding of the valuation reports.

Pretty pointless if you don’t want to work in valuation. If you want to better understand their reports, study some on your own and set up calls their team to ask questions.

Agreed^^^ - I started studying for it and it felt worthless. Work on business combos and just review a few of their valuation reports, they are almost all the same.

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?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like?
