Executive Compensation & Employee Benefits Associate

Kate reached out to me initially on a position I ultimately decided not to apply for, but we continued to stay in touch. I waffled on whether to make a move for several months. Kate was a sounding board for what other possibilities there were and helped me drill down on what was important in my next role. She was great about returning texts, emails, and calls, and she would get in contact immediately if she saw something she believed would be a good fit. Kate also helped me prepare for interviews and put my best foot forward. Once the offer came she gave an honest assessment on what was worth negotiating and how to do it— a huge value add for someone who is early in their career. Kate spent months talking with me before we found the right thing. She isn’t transactional, but rather invested in individuals she sees potential in and truly wants the right fit for them. Especially as someone young, first gen, and of the COVID law school generation navigating the challenging legal market, having someone to prep you and give the extra edge in interviews took a lot of stress out of the process and allowed me to focus on fit. Kate’s knowledge of different teams and working styles also helped me to feel confident in my decision to move after landing the offer. I couldn’t recommend her more!
