PhD here. Haven’t seriously looked. But have been approached by recruiters for VC and industry

Really C1? That’s disappointing to hear that it’s difficult to find exit ops for JDs even from an MBB. I also have a JD and am trying to leave, but it’s been tough to find anything

My engineering PhD was of big help in attracting tech startup opportunities.

BCG2 where did you look for such opportunities? I’m interested in tech startups as well

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
