- Former hedge fund CLO

“It really hit me this past week: Shauna’s like a fairy godmother. You’ve challenged me to think about what kind of person and professional I want to be. What kind of brand I want to have. You’ve identified what's been one of my downfalls. This is, to me, a break out moment where I can be the lawyer I want to be. This has also been really helpful advice about how to get there. There are all these things that I don’t really get about how to go about accomplishing my goal, but you do! So one thing I’ve learned from you is how to start becoming the professional I want to be.”

“​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!”
