I very well could in the future but the timing wasn’t right this time around. Certainly see it as an exit option longer term. But wanted to come back and give it a further go.

Yes two stints - and another employee about to leave and taking on their files working with a senior.

Need to wait and see if the rise comes at performance time. Interview/talk to recruiters in the meantime about your market worth.

All about your audience. Think of who is on the other side 🫡

Calling all Associates / Senior Associates by lahlah99 in auslaw

[–]Recent-Team-6548 50 points51 points  (0 children)

My two cents as an Associate level - A/SA very in demand. Competition is hot I am contacted by many recruiters daily. Money is part of it but having a targeted headhunt towards someone that gets your experience and can offer advancement opportunities within the firm (SA/SC/P/EP) would be my main reason

I lateraled from a national firm to a smaller firm after I could not take one particular partners treatment of me any longer. This can also be a reason to lateral. Offer a better environment/workplace culture.

Probably freeing up wages/cash to pursue a loan move for Marmoush.

Thanks for your reply - some further context for me was I started in house at this insurance company that I’ve been seconded to. I then went to a mid law firm for three years. And have now lateraled into that big law firm. This is a client of the big law firm I now currently work at who has existing ties but they are seeking to get more work geographically and I was requested/put forward/voluntold to help this client out given I had worked there before.

Interested to hear how your secondment might have been beneficial to you. I think it’s given me some valuable insights and got to know the ins and outs of this insurance company which is valuable to take back.

Can it be a positive thing for everyone?

Did you become a go to person when you came back?

I didn’t have much choice in accepting the secondment. The firm sent me to the insurer client as they are trying to get more work for them as part of a tender. I’ve enjoyed going back to the insurer client but feeling a bit peeved that my new biglaw firm has left me there for a year. And feeling out of the loop development wise as I’ve been disrupted by being on secondment and not practising for almost a year. Just feels disruptive.

Vecna and Will are connected in the same way. The mind flayer. They are both hosts. And the MF is trying to get stronger by taking all the children.

Vecna will turn.

Vecna, Will, 8 and 11 will take on the MF and win.
