congrats!

Congratulations! Have you applied to any firms yet?

Yes I have, but I haven’t gotten a positive response yet.

Congratulations, that's a tough one! Any areas of expertise/concentration?

Hey! Corporate is relatively super slow - it's not like two years ago where we would have taken almost any licensed attorney to turn docs for sheer volume of deals. So it may be hard to pivot directly into biglaw corporate now from ID. I'd look at your resume and try to beef up corporate-y experiences and look into making a couple jumps to get to biglaw. A recruiter may be able to provide better insight into the current market.

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced. The timeframe for the full transition of all work to the vendors is approximately 6 months. This is the second time in 14 months I have had to look for another position due to outsourcing of work. Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?
