General Review

An associate attorney with 6 years law firm experience, Felicia wanted to look for an in-house position with a Washington, D.C. area corporation - she came to RL Stevens to help her make it happen!

Felicia's legal experience was highly transferable to the corporate sector, so in a relatively short period of time, RL Stevens research showed indicators of movement in target companies.  She soon found herself interviewing with several area corporations.

Felicia and her consultant developed a strategy before each interview, and the work paid off. Two offers arrived in one week. Now it was time for a negotiation strategy! Again, the strategy worked. One company matched the other company's offer, and added a 55,000 signing bonus to boot!

Felicia wrote to us and said: "Your ability to thoroughly research the firms prior to my interviews really paid off for me. I went into the interviews fully prepared to create value. Our strategy has resulted in a successful transition to a better position and the successful shattering of the ‘100K glass ceiling'. Thanks so very much for your help."  $105,000 + $55,000 signing bonus
