Pro tip I wish I received: when lateraling back up your phone before leaving so you don’t lose it’s contents when your previous firm remote-factory resets the device.

Yeah, my contacts were tied to Outlook (which I didn’t realize) and all got deleted when I left. Luckily I left on good terms, and the firm sent them to me when I asked.

Another tip. In many jurisdictions if you regularly back up emails and docs to a personal hard drive you can take the hard drive with you so you have templates, etc. that you prefer. The key is regularly backing up and not doing it as part of your exit strategy. I would consult with an attorney who knows about lateraling but I have been told this by attorneys who know that area of law.

In my case I didn’t have anything saved as of 5pm on my last day, I actually deleted anything that might be proprietary prior to leaving to avoid any issues. But I understand that there was likely data related to confidential information saved on my phone such as emails and the like that could have been recoverable or accessible post separation.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
