What are things that would make you consider a litigator with significant contract drafting and negotiating experience for a contract analyst role?

I wouldn’t. Our contract analyst role is not meant to be a stepping stone to a counsel role at our company. Every former lawyer who said they were tried of practicing and wanted the job ended up quitting when they weren’t transitioned into a counsel role within a year.

Agreed. Contract analyst does not equal pathway to counsel. Many contract analyst or specialist roles are filled by paralegals or procurement specialists with many years experience.

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position in the logistics department. Role is for Amazon UK. Recruiter is asking me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email. Any idea what to aim for?

I don’t know the level but was aiming £80k base, +15% bonus. If I don’t fall under their budget, would I automatically be removed from candidates?
Any tips are appreciated!
