Hi fishes!
Looking for advice as an AI software engineer who has worked only in small product startups so far.
Yoe: 3+
AI specialisation: Computer vision
Current position, CTC: AI lead, 30lpa + ~50L ESOPS
I've graduated from a top IIT and most of my peers are now at big product companies in india / US. Never having experienced that, I now have some FOMO and a lot of rational doubts as well about my career path.
Peeps here with more experience and wisdom, please advise!

When you leave, does it make a difference to companies if you made it through at least a busy season as a senior or just that you have the title? I did have some experience this year as an A2 where I split some of the senior responsibilities with the manager. However, I’m worried if I leave before busy season, companies will see that as really just being an associate.

Recruiter at a Fortune 50 company considering law school. For current lawyers who “hate” their job and are looking for an exit - tell me your why. I’ve networked with lawyers and reviews are a mixed bag. My reasoning for pursuing law: looking for a job that requires more critical thinking than recruiting, like the problem solving nature of being a lawyer, and am interested in either employment law or criminal law.

What are some exit options for litigators that aren’t connection-driven? I think we all know the standard set of options (fed govt, in house, lobbying, govt relations), but in litigation those jobs are VERY often filled through networks. What’s out there where a litigator is competitive and where a good portion of positions are filled based on just strength of resume and interview? Question is for all jobs, not just litigation and not just legal.
