I have heard many times that you should try to stay at a firm 12 months before you look elsewhere. Right now I am litigating in an area I don’t care about at all, but my background is in entertainment. I have been in my current role for less than a year but an opportunity arose in my city at a firm where I could transition to entertainment law. Will the short time I’ve been in my current position be a red flag or not necessarily?

OP, do you want to practice entertainment litigation or switch strictly to transactional work? In which camp does the new opportunity fall?

That was my instinct but I wanted to get some thoughts from others before I committed to really going for it haha. Thank you!

Additionally, when you reach the next level can you typically get a pay bump internally or do you often have to look elsewhere? have your companies sponsored the master anaplanner exam?

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

What’s one thing about being an entertainment lawyer that ppl are surprised to find out?

Got an offer at a boutique firm, they are offering mid-100k (3 YOE, but I’m retooling). Great opportunity (like, I really love everything about it), and I’m prepared to take a pay cut, but the salary seems especially low.
