-: So for me, it's the strategizing.
It's moving the chess pieces around the chess board, right?
So almost everything I do has some strategy involved,
whether it's the compliance work and being responsive,
whether it's negotiating a deal,
whether it's figuring out how to use the new technology,
but I particularly enjoy trying to get what my company wants
or needs, negotiating with somebody across the table
who may be diametrically opposed to what I wanna get,
and that I really enjoy.
And it's also, for me, I have the freedom to do that.
I have a boss who leaves me alone.
My boss is not a lawyer.
He's the head of the company.
So I'm left alone to make the decisions and figure it out.
So that's great.
You know, I work with a team of people closely,
both lawyers and non-lawyers,
but sorta the strategy in trying to figure it out
is really enjoyable.
Working for Fox, you have to be particularly careful
in a regulatory environment,
so you sometimes cannot be as aggressive or creative
as you want to be
because you're under the spotlight all the time.
The second thing is somewhat related
is because you're in a huge corporation,
sometimes decisions are made that you have no control over
that you may or may not agree with,
but that's the way it goes, but.
When I was in private practice,
I worked at boutique firms with generally smaller clients
who were much, who could be much bigger risk takers.
You know, when you work for a big publicly traded company
who is always in the spotlight,
you need to be much more careful
with taking regulatory risks.
So there are times where you'd like to be more aggressive
or more creative and you really have to color
between the lines in certain areas.
