I’d appreciate your recommendations on best email marketing software. We are a small subsidiary based in the U.K. and to date we’ve relied on software of our parent company which is based in the US. The service provider they use seems clunky and outdated. We want to go solo here in the U.K. so we can be self supporting but I’ve no idea where to start. If anyone has any recommendations I’d be very grateful. Thank you

I’m a business/commercial lawyer with 8 years experience looking to relocate to Chicago from NYC area, while also trying to make the jump to in-house after only ever working at a boutique firm. It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing). I can’t tell if this is due to covid, the market, the fact that I don’t have any in-house experience, the fact that I live out of state, or something else entirely. Any insights??
