Second year considering leaving NY biglaw for a few public interest options. Partly for mental health reasons. Making market, and I would potentially leave for a starting position offering around / a bit over $80k. Holding out currently to see what else arises. Fortunately I don’t have much debt, and that’s enough to cover my basic rent/living expenses, but not by much. Has anyone made a jump like that before? How did you manage financially if so? Living in this city ain’t cheap🙃

Have you ever had a recruiter call, and ask you all these questions like a half interview even. And then go ahead and make a post of all the things you said you work on, the requested salary and benefits and also specific details about location and type of profile i was looking for? The linkdin post was made like an hour after the call. Like it was freakishly matching.

I felt dirty and used. Has this happened to anyone? How do you react?

I am wondering if I can see what other brands say to influencers that they reject? In the program we use we either approve them or reject them. Once they are rejected they get an email saying that they are. I have tried googling a good nice way to reject an influencer but all I get is how an influencer should reject a brand. Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.
