It has been ~ 2 years and I may be getting tired of McKinsey (maybe it’s not for me). I have flipped my LinkedIn to “open to new roles” (which is a status hidden from your current company) plus started to engage executive recruitment firms. I am considering the pros and cons of consulting leadership roles versus industry leadership roles. Can you help me develop my pros and cons list? Please just throw your ideas and thoughts in the comments. Thanks in advance!

Do any real estate lawyers out there know of/can direct me to a ROFO agreement to purchase commercial property? I’m working on one now (but using a ROFO to purchase equity interests as a basis) and would like to see what other people are doing. Finding a good one has been hard, as this kind of thing isn’t always required to be filed with the sec and every search I’ve done basically pulls up garbage. Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?
