Three years ago, I left my insurance defense practice to open a franchise bakery because I thought I wanted a complete lifestyle change. Turns out, I actually miss law (and the steady paycheck), so I’ve sold the business and want to return to practice. I’m worried recruiters will think my legal skills have gone cold or that I’m a flight risk who will leave the moment I get bored. What’s the best way to spin my entrepreneurial hiatus as a strength?

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I just want to know the reason behind it and if there is a right answer to this question!

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house. They told me to focus on contract management, which I have been doing for the past year.
