Moved to a new company a few months ago. When I signed my offer letter I was told I would (1) be the 2nd employment lawyer, (2) only advice and not do litigation, and (3) report to X person who I liked and wouldn’t interact with the parent company group. On day 1 I was told the other X person employment lawyer was moving to a different non legal role, so I’d be the sole employment lawyer, and would now also handle litigation, and report directly to the parent comp. I feel wronged. Thoughts?

Sounds like you should negotiate a raise.

Very soon. The sooner the better, b/c the role you accepted and the role you are doing are very different. But only you know the internal politics and positioning. But you are not wrong for feeling wronged.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
