Our team is massively understaffed and we’re being told there’s going to be a major recruitment drive in the new year that a lot of us will need to be involved in. How do you convince people to join this field? Why did you join it, and is it as rewarding/fulfilling as you hoped?

Entry level sucks everywhere. In risk you get a holistic view of a company and actually can become a real advisor to organizations in operational activities (like I just helped a large org. Implement monitoring systems)

None, there gonna shove you on SOX compliance projects till your brain glazes over. Hours, Pay, Exit-OPs terrible. There a reason B4 lies about the job to every new hire. My life has gotten worse in every facet since starting in this field.

Interested in this field also! What company is this?

Just tell them that the company is offering a very competitive salary and benefits. Of course it has to be true. Otherwise prepare to be cursed by everyone.

Unless you offer exciting benefits and a high salary, I don't think there's any other way you can recruit.

I think the main motivating factor for people right now is their salary. Most of them choose a low-paying job because they do not have a choice.

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. I know cases rarely make it to trial anymore, but I’d like to develop my skills as much as possible to position myself well when they do. Does anyone have any mock trial programs they’ve participated in outside of their firms that they would recommend?
