Thoughts on lateraling in this market? I’m a rising second year and know I want to switch practice groups eventually, but don’t want to get delayed another year since I have to start fresh as a first year in a new practice. If it matters, I feel like I have pretty good job security in my current role so I’d be sacrificing that.

I made a move mid this year (right before the market slow down) as a third year in similar circumstances and can say that
- if you know you want to make a switch, much better to do it as more junior
- unless the practice area you are gonna switch to is similar to what you are doing rn, you will very likely have to take a class cut
- make a move if you think it will be worth the efforts to basically start over and learn new skill sets and to integrate into a new firm while taking a risk that you may not like the practice group or the firm

I think my answer is yes and I’m fine taking a one year class cut. Only thing holding me back is that I’d be subject to getting laid off

It’s better to retool earlier than later. The market is slower but firms are still hiring (depending on your practice). What are you doing now and what do want to switch to? That can also affect your traction in this market if it’s a major shift.

Hi Sharks, I am in a dillema. Recruiter from a company called me that I am selected for the role. After 1 hour another recruiter called me to schedule first round, from a different posting.

Should I give the interview or call the first recruiter to clearly tell me that I am selected or not?
