a great sign

“Shauna, Hope you’re having a great week! Wanted to give you an update on my results this week. I applied to an open position at [AmLaw 50] via the chair of the group and he responded that they had just closed the position but would keep me in mind if another one became available. I thought that was a great sign considering it’s big law and the transfer I’m trying to make. So thanks again for the help with the résumé and cover letter, they seem to be doing exactly what I needed them to do!”

job and salary offer

“​Hi Shauna, [AmLaw 100 law firm] called me with a job and salary offer not long after you and I spoke. They offered $120k + $20k bonus, and said there is some room to negotiate. I told them I needed some time to think about it, and they had no problem with that. One of the partners kindly offered to put me in touch with a few of their associates to get some perspective, so I’ll be speaking with them tomorrow. I also discovered that a former [government] colleague went to work for [the same law firm] for a year, so I’m hoping she’ll respond to my LinkedIn message and give me some insight over the weekend. I’ll keep you posted on my decision. Thank you as always!”

I’ve done a lot of stuff!

“I’m realizing that I’ve done a lot of stuff! Talking to you has helped me understand how I can do a better of translating my government experience to the private sector. I’m really glad we had these conversations. Your framing of things has really helped me a lot and it’s been great to watch you work.”
