Would you take a VP role (promotion) even though the work is not very interesting, or stay as ASSOC and make a lateral move to smth more interesting? I know it's not easy to get promoted here...

Wouldn't you take a Promotion and then move to something more interesting?

I took the promotion. I'm lazy and they pay me a lot. I still need time to figure out what is best for me and what I'm passionate about

Get the promotion and get out; if you dont get the promotion folks will wonder why. Damaged goods.

I understand the attraction of getting promoted and appreciate the difficulty of, but with all the moaning on FB about work, I'd suggest doing something you enjoy. Surely you'd be happier and that would have broad knock on effects.

I heard it's harder to move as a VP to a different area so I would stay as Associate until something better comes along

The VP role is a PMO. And I am really used to analytical/technical work, which is why I am not sure...

I'm not associate to vp level, but in speaking to people who made that move the advice given to me is to stay as an analyst or associate until you get to where you want to be...then push for vp.

Got an email from someone who is supposedly wanting to hire my firm, but a few things are giving me pause: 1) I’m a rising third year, so idk why they are emailing me, 2) it just says “dear attorney” then the short message, not my name (though practice group is correct), 3) it is from a gmail email address, not the company. So… do you think this is real? I plan to forward it to a partner, but should I first send to IT to see if it’s even real? Just seems weird to me.
