Seems fine... If I got offered a high ranking compliance position for $300k+/yr in my area I'd probably take it.

just make sure you remember what's on your resume. I've been asked for references and never give them. current job didn't care/forgot to follow up. I have good references from the last 3 years to cover me if needed. some people just have friends pretend to be a reference, but I'd be too embarrassed to ask my friends to do that.

I was recently given a mediocre review in biglaw. Wasn't told to explore other options or anything like that, but I'm assuming it was a soft talk as the office is abysmally slow and they were nitpicking otherwise stellar written reviews for small flaws in my work.

I have thought deeply about moving into something else as well. Might try for my 3rd biglaw firm and ride out another year or two of salary though. Even though I have no timeline, I'm basically on notice at this point and know that the hard talk could easily come in a few months time. I'd rather leave on my own terms which means striking at the still active winter lateral market before things die down.

I am aware. It's too bad because I (mostly) liked the partners and have gotten nothing but positive feedback on actual work product for the most part. Also this will likely set back any in house searches by a year or two.

Hours are too low, need more work, if I was more proactive this wouldn't be a problem (LOL), very little about the actual quality of my work. Didnt ask me to leave or even think about my career, but I'm taking it as a soft talk regardless.

...and burner phones to your friends in the same fields and in locations they know very well to be your references. or get voice modulators.

also, jazz up some fake certificate, frame it, and in the background on a photo you give them on your cover page, let the frame shine a little towards the camera so they just so see "purple medal" shadowbox or "caltech phd chem eng" and let them think they're smart confirming your resume.
