[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Associate here. Firm gave me 3 months to find a new job. True layoff/not performance related. How do I negotiate more time? [/quote] They gave you three months. You need to improve your skills and find something else. [/quote] I agree pp likely isn’t getting more time, but how do you propose he improve his skills now to find something else?[/quote] Look at what sectors are growing. Build skills in those as much as you can. Many firms are doing bankruptcy training. Complex litigation practice will only grow after this. Health law. Areas of the federal government are hiring (go research). No need to be smug. It will prevent you from thinking about possible adjustments. [/quote] Not smug, just realistic. You think someone taking a few PLIs is going to make himself marketable as a bankruptcy attorney, etc? This is especially true for people who are more senior.[/quote]
