OP is a typo

like

Growth Opps: unsure; assuming fewer exit opportunities but arguably less competition to move vertically
Pay: less than commercial sector
WLB: more than commercial sector

That’s because the commercial people with the experience equivalent to a GPS manager are already SMs or PPMDs in commercial since promos are faster and are making anywhere from 1.5-5x as much

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.
