From job search to comp negotiations, she was always in my corner, and helped me secure the unicorn job I was looking for. Anyone would be lucky to work with her.

    Why talk to Jessica Pai?

    Garrett Garcia joined Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP's San Francisco office in the Energy group.

    Jessica Pai was a fantastic and thoughtful recruiter who learned what I wanted as an attorney and brought me into a position where I am surrounded by wonderful, thoughtful attorneys who encourage my development every day. Jessica brought thoughtful opportunities to my attention, was always available via text or cell, and even negotiated a relocation bonus that was more than my signing bonus. I dealt with many recruiters during this process, but can confidently say Jessica stood out by a country mile. She is the best of the best and is, in my opinion, is exactly who you want to have your back. Thanks Jessica!
