Jake Negvesky spent the early part of his career as a transactional associate in the energy practice of a large law firm where he learned, fairly quickly, two things: first, that he genuinely enjoyed working with fellow lawyers, and second, that the part of his job he kept gravitating towards had very little to do with the deal on his desk. Instead, he found himself energized by the people behind the practice—the conversations, the connections, and most critically, the thrill that comes with giving advice that actually helps someone out.

To everyone else (or so Jake has been told), his pivot from big law to recruiting made perfect sense. He has always been the friend people call when they need help with their resumes, the one who wanted to know why an associate was thinking about a move, and the kind of person who would happily spend an hour on the phone helping a friend figure out what they want to do next. So when Karen and Katy came knocking with the chance for Jake to join Risepoint, he didn't need much convincing. 

Now, Jake gets to put all of that to work for lawyers navigating their own career transitions.
