If it is a boutique, I am going to assume there's a small headcount?

Should check that there is annual recruitment for juniors or plans to hire juniors continually. You wouldn't want to be the "junior" after 5 years. Still doing junior level work on matters.

Plans for moving forward in the company. Ask them how they’ll meet your expectations (like getting experience, court appearances, trial experience, mediations/ arbs). Also discuss expectations, case management software, legal research, motion work, mentorship.

Assuming it’s a position you get a callback on then go into benefits

like

Ask about who your support staff will be, the billing minimum, incentives for going beyond the minimum billables, case docket/management software, etc.

Honestly, I would ask to meet the current associates.

Remember to keep the questions light in the screener and save the “tougher” questions for the callback.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

Currently in the final stages of the interviewing process for a "non-partnership track attorney" position at a top-ranked big law firm.

Will this position "stain" my resume compared to staying in my current position as an attorney for an SRO?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side.

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
