Securities Counsels already IHC - how did you find your current role? Have you switched companies before? I'm struggling to find an exit from this pretty toxic (and honestly, financially struggling pubco). ~6 YOE (3 in big law, 3 in house securities). Been looking for the better part of 6-8 months and just getting nowhere after few screener calls or a first round or two.

Advice? Honestly I'm considering quitting...it's that bad.

I responded to a “cold call” email for my current role. Previously, I went in-house via connections I made and just asking around.

Hello, hoping for some input on how to time a job change. At a startup - we are doing well now but unless we have complete turnover in management I don’t think we have a bright future post-COVID. I could coast here 1-2 years before having to look. I’ve been here for a little under a year. This is my second in house job after 10 years at the same firm. The market is hot now, probably won’t be in 1-2 years and I am getting interest for good roles. OTOH I don’t want to look like a job hopper.

NFW- I just had a good laugh.
