Wondering about potential exit/in-house opportunities for different practice groups. I’m currently in big law and choosing between general corporate deal work (M&A/PE) and tech transactions. Do either of these give better in-house (or other) opportunities later on?

Hello everyone, I have a phone screen interview today about a Senior associate- Advisory role …. Any pointers please?

Has anyone here made a career pivot from corporate communications or PR? If so, what career did you pursue instead and why?

My father (mid 50s) is interviewing for a new engineering role and is getting discouraged when he doesn’t hear back from the recruiter after a couple days have passed since last contact. My personal experience is that this is common (even when you are a strong candidate) and that he should only start getting concerned after 1-2 weeks have gone by without any word from the recruiter. Thoughts? I’d love to get him some info from others about this so he can relax a bit…

Did anyone here have a professor or mentor that changed their life and got them into this industry?

Anyone else looking to negotiate full-time telework, or has successfully?

I work in public sector and though my position has been entirely remote, I was surprised to find that they're requiring me back in soon after 2 years. I was hoping to move closer home to care for a family member, so I think I should attempt to negotiate or move on to a full time telework job. Anyone else negotiating this or planning to make a leap?

Has anyone ever gone from agency to prod co side? If so what’s the most common transition? AP to LP? What’s the difference in pay? The prod co market seems super saturated. Any advice here?

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

Hey Designers! So I’ve been at my current design studio for a little over 10 years. It’s a small studio—2 partners, now 3 additional designers, not including me. I’ve been asked a few times over the years if I’d be interested in being a partner but have turned it down.

It’s recently come up again (potentially 5%). I still need to sit down with them and learn more, but I’m not sure I see the benefits(yet)? Any thoughts from those who’ve done this before? Thanks so much 🙏

I’ve been thinking of making a switch from audit to TAS. I’m currently a S1 (2 busy seasons experience), and rated as a top performer at my firm. I’m contacted by Kroll, but recruiters there told me that since I haven’t got any TAS experience, I should be applying for their Analyst role instead of Senior Associate. Honestly, I want to switch to TAS but not that desperate to leave my firm. Anyway, I just wonder if you guys have the same situation and usually how long it takes to get promoted?

If you don’t have 8 hours of billable time a day, do you leave as is or do you fill in the gap with non-billable work? While I am in the office, I don’t always get the billable amount since I don’t have enough work. Seems like a waste of time to enter non-billable time just to fill in the gap but I also don’t want them to think I am not there and slacking off.

What’s the norm?
