Oil and gas attorneys what do you do?

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

Hello Folks,
Good Morning.

Can anyone help me as to how can I start having experience in SAP. All my professional years I haven't got a chance to have a hands on experience but want to get an understanding of SAP.

Is a digital transformation certification worth it? I am considering programs from schools like MIT and Wharton but it’s a lot of $$ and I want to ensure it’s worth it. Anyone do one of these programs?

Other than FAANG and Spotify, what other companies would you consider going client-side?

What are good sectors to specialise in if I wanted to keep my options open?

I’m still a generalist but see people 1-2 years above me beginning to align. I frankly don’t really have any particular sector interest, but choosing based on “who i vibe with” sounds a bit silly (esp if you plan to exit)

Dear legal recruiters who used to work as attorneys: are you glad you made the switch? I think recruiting could be fun but I know how much I ignore recruiter emails daily so it makes me think it’s touch to place people and make a consistent income. Thoughts?

Any non-native English speaker here? I’ve been here in the states for over 10 years and looking back I am amazed by how I survived corporate America and how tolerant my colleagues have been towards me. Nevertheless, it’s hard to escape from imposter syndrome. I also caught myself rationalizing my slightly lower-than-market comp with my language skills. Any thought or advice?

I just accepted a corporate counsel position at a large Fortune 500 company. Any advice or thoughts as I make the transition from a firm to in-house?

What industries, roles, and YOE do y'all have? Feel free to be vague for anonymity.

Began my first in house role Monday and happy to be here!
