If they are interested in you it means they are willing to give you a chance, which is energy you need to match and be all-in.

Agree with matching energy

When first starting out? Their willingness to hire you and pay you for your time. And for the job to not be cold calling people at their homes. Otherwise, I’d take whatever I could get.

smart

Oh I’ve heard AWFUL things about certain companies out there with that job description 😬

It's a green flag if many members of the board of directors and c-suite originate from the company. It signals that the company trains it employees, has internal promotions, and has a culture that people so much they stick around.

I love when firms actually hire from within. Hate to see so often people dedicate so much to a company only for them to hire leads from the outside.

Put in my notice 2 weeks ago. Last days is this Friday. Partner I work for has been a total dick. Multiple other partners have reached out to say they’re sorry to see me go. Partner I work for has since been a bigger dick. Seriously tempted to tell him off and/or actually be honest in my exit interview with HR. I know that means “burning a bridge”, which is bad. Someone please talk me out of it. Genuinely.

Second year associate here who recently switched from litigation to corporate law. I am absolutely swamped while simultaneously having no idea what I’m doing ever and I’m feeling so burnt out. The partners are pretty great and feedback is constructive which I’m grateful for, but I’m so desperate for a compliment I’ve been saving any scrap of positivity in a folder 😭 it’s December 22 and I haven’t done my Christmas shopping because I don’t feel capable of thinking about it.

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?
