Received an overwhelming response on my last post—so many of you reached out, revealing just how widespread the issue is. While I can't reply to everyone individually, I want to share some valuable resources. Here are a few folks who commented and are eager to help: - Vinay Shukla has made the transition himself and is happy to help folks looking to transition. - Danielle Coleman writes on LinkedIn about how to break into product counsel roles, shares relevant openings on her page, and more → Give her a follow! Also, we’re hiring at SpotDraft across roles. Specifically for our sales team—those of you interested in transitioning to a sales role, I encourage you to apply. [Disclaimer: These are entry-level roles but have a lot of potential for growth.] Additionally, joining in-house legal communities can be a game-changer: - In-House Connect - Legal Operators - The L Suite (TechGC) - Legal Ops Uncensored These communities are full of supportive folks who can help you navigate your career path. All the best!
Shashank Bijapur This is amazing! Thank you so much for the tag - super grateful to have the opportunity to help folks break into product counseling roles as well as navigate adulting as we try and build amazing careers! Thank you again - super excited to help! And thank you Akshay Verma for your early support of my posts as well! 🙏
Thank you so much for the shoutout, Shashank Bijapur!!
Anyone who is looking to transition from BigLaw to in-house Legal, always happy to help out - please reach out.
Mel Storey has a “Career Big Sis” community and helps junior lawyers especially who are jaded and stressed and looking for the kind of help that we all wished we had at that point in our careers! She’s on Tik Tok and Instagram too 💖
