Is the pre-partner/VP/MD level the worst / most abused role in every firm?
I’ve been in two global firms as well as smaller boutiques on the strategy and transformation side and am burnt out beyond belief. While I’m paid well, I don’t sleep and I’m left to manage multiple VPs pulling me in different directions constantly. How do you all manage it when lacking leadership from your respective practices? Hard for me to tell my team it will get better when I don’t believe it…

How did current in-house attorneys find their positions? I am currently in big law with 3 years of experience. Seems that most recruiters can only help me lateral to other big law firms.

Would love some advice / thoughts. I went straight from law school to a corporate legal department in house for an asset manager.

Hello, hoping for some input on how to time a job change. At a startup - we are doing well now but unless we have complete turnover in management I don’t think we have a bright future post-COVID.

The market is hot now, probably won’t be in 1-2 years and I am getting interest for good roles. OTOH I don’t want to look like a job hopper.
