Hey folks, can someone explain to me the distinction between levels at Google GCP PSO? I’m in the process for a TAM role and the recruiter tells me L4 would be a better fit cause L5 has higher expectations from a technical standpoint! Is that true or is the seniority around managing additional projects/clients? Wondering if they’re down leveling. I have 8 years of Tech Consulting experience. Relatively new to cloud. Google
Hi Team,
I just joined 2 month back in Walmart, but I’m not liking the project and job location.
I asked Hr to relocate or project change but they are not ok.
Then I started looking other opportunity and got an offer.
Should I go with the offer. Will it impact professional career?
Or Walmart will block me for future opportunities?
Please team suggest if anyone faced such situation.

Curious to know how pursuing PI came to the fore for you given your stated background. Balancing the prospect of making large sums of money while helping others, are you looking for a purpose-driven career that provides a healthy income? If so, have you considered any purpose-driven entrepreneurial opportunities outside the practice of law?
I clerked for a federal judge, won a pair of national mock trial competitions and litigated my own car accident case to a trial in small claims court, so I have some litigation background.
For me, I think the real appeal is running my own business and not having to work for someone else. I’ve worked in private equity for my entire post-clerkship career, and they are a very demanding client base. Ive also watched them run businesses and thought, I could probably do that. I don’t have a clear path to running my first that outside of the law, so I’m looking at PI as it seems to be the most natural way for a lawyer to run a business.
That seems like a big jump. Is it interaction you want or do you want to try your hand at litigation? If the former there are other routes within your current wheel house that you can explore. Usually there’s an entire separate team at PE firms that are tasked with sourcing the deal (most of the time they aren’t lawyers). Those individuals travel to the targets, interact with the key business teams and are front line on the start of the negotiations. I’ve seen M&A lawyers pivot to that role.
I came in house with the hope of pivoting to this role and it hasn’t really worked. They have hired a former investment bank VP and a tech entrepreneur to pursue those roles. I function sort of like a one man law firm processing forwarded docs.
I just posted a reply above where I explain that I have a bit of a litigation background as well. I think for me the appeal is human interaction, feeling like I’m helping people and the chance to actually own and run a business of my own.
How old are you? Family and kids?
I expect you’re right about that which is why I wouldn’t plan on staying at a PI mill any longer than I had to.
Why PI in particular? What about criminal law, family, etc?
I’d be giving up a lot of money. A higher than average in house salary.
Following. I’m in the exact same spot as you and making the shift in February. We also share the same reasons.
I’m also focusing on Immigration together with PI and a few criminal issues (mostly related to immigration)
The feeling of freedom in running your own business and actually making an impact on people’s lives can’t be compared to any job-security provided by corporate-transactional law. The money is good but it is unbelievably boring.
Not giving up much money (currently making 80k/year). I have been an attorney for 1 year. (Working with transactional law for about 3 years). No litigation experience at all.
I’ll start with a friend of mine who already has a well established office in order to get experience. My main focus will be on immigration (I am an immigrant myself), and I’ll have support from more experienced attorneys in case a PI issue goes to trial...
