a friend gets promoted

twenty-eight years and a million words

A lawyer friend has taken a gig that he summed up by saying, "The exposure includes things like potentially testifying to congress." Well done, sir!

Needless to say, it comes by accepting a job offer. Gone by some decades are the days of in-the-job promotions, in my experience. I used to think it was just IT that required people to move on every three years, but it seems to be everywhere.
