Looking for advice. I left consulting right before the pandemic and have been enjoying the WLB in corporate. That being said, I have this itch to go back to consulting as I miss the team dynamic, exciting projects and some of the travel (no idea if this is still Mon-thurs post pandemic). Please share your thoughts as I am stuck!!! Thanks

Hi All - I’m at a firm that has some infrequent in-house training but not enough to help me develop skills to eventually become a trial lawyer.

Does anyone have any mock trial programs they’ve participated in outside of their firms that they would recommend?

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
