Lateraling to the Litigation group of a V10 firm in SF. I’m a junior and so far have had general litigation experience. I know in house opportunities for litigators are limited. What should I focus on in terms of practice areas within Lit to make it to FAANG as a 5-6th year associate (and what’s the comp I could expect)? Thanks so much!

Don’t do cyber (incident response)—and focus on data privacy instead. They’re very different.

True. Privacy law for a litigator would be good too.

Thanks so much everyone! This is super helpful. Privacy seems like the way to go for me

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it.

Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
