SHRM articles and Bloomberg’s labor newsletter will help you see trending issues too. Congrats on joining the most fun practice area that is by far the most human!

Some SHRM articles are free but most everything I’ve wanted to view that seems helpful requires having a paid membership. If you have a firm account with Bloomberg I think you’ll be able to view the L&E updates.

If lit, the employment discrimination examples & explanations book was very helpful and digestible (I just lateraled to L&E from commercial lit)

like

Which book is that?

Lit or transactional? Big law or boutique or ID?

You're welcome!

Need help thinking through this…Debating leaving to a tech startup. Very early stage ($3-7M ARR), would have a big role leading strategy and Ops. It’s a cash paycut, which is a bummer but the equity would be pretty good. Just nervous about leaving before hitting the full manager role and taking a paycut in this market to bank on equity. For those of you have left, what kind of questions did you ask yourself to know it was the right time?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
