Network, network, network. You should have started yesterday. Muscle your way into meeting the right people.

Always be positive. No one will hire you if you project negativity. No matter how discouraged you may feel, you’ve got to flip the happy switch when you’re meeting people / interviewing / networking. That includes never badmouthing your current or former employer.

like

1. Always invest in growing your skills
2. Be confident in your value, worth and what you deliver
3. Use that as your ammo to establish firm boundaries right from the get go so you don’t get “owned” as a corporate asset.

like

Always negotiate your job offer. Even if it's more than what you thought you'd get. Worst you can get is a NO! Best case you're setting yourself up for future salary raises.

like

Keep applying for jobs even when you have a nice one so that you know if there is a better value for you out there.

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

Any tips for transitioning into a new firm? I was with my previous firm for 5 years.

It’s tough, between 2 different managing partners who are different but my cases are pretty 50/50 between them. My previous firm I had far fewer cases.
