Just saw a wave of layoffs at my previous company. I’m glad I left when I did they’ve done two big waves since I’ve been gone. Do y’all’s keep tabs on your previous jobs after you leave like this? I usually snoop on my connections to see what’s going on

When I had friends still working there after I’d left I would just ask them what’s going on

But theyve all moved on now

At a previous employer I signed up with a stock market site to get updates about their earnings reports. The conference calls were always interesting. Anyway, I haven't worked there in six years but I still get updates on their earnings and the latest story they're telling the credulous analysts on Wall Street. In a perverse way I find it interesting to hear about how they're always trying to navigate their way out of trouble.

Almost 5 years ago, I saw the writing on the wall and got out of there. Kept up with some friends who stayed on, and it only got worse. The whole department was shut down 2 years after I left. Pay attention to that gut feeling. It is there for a reason.

I usually lose track but it would be interesting to see what happens over time

I'm a brand new attorney (passed the Feb 2021 bar) who started an in-house counsel position a few months ago (where my focus is negotiating agreements for the sale of my company's software). I was a contracts manager on an in-house team for 4 years prior, which is why I was able to go straight in-house. I'm entirely skipping out on firm life, which feels both good and bad. Is there anything I should think about getting experience in? How should I go about making sure I am seeing enough things?
