I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?

Any info. on salary for a 4-8 year coverage attorney in Tampa or Orlando?

Thoughts on Goodwin in London? Culture, hours, whether people actually enjoy working there, how it’s perceived etc. A lot of the posts here are more in relation to the US offices but I’m keen to understand the London offering.

I am in the process of finishing up my MBA but considering also getting my SPHR or PHR cert. Is it even worth it or a waste of time and money?

Anyone here successfully living the FIRE lifestyle? Trying to focus on saving and paying off student loans, but I sometimes feel like I should spend my money to justify my work hours.

Do other associates just straight up not have a written employment contract? I mentioned I don’t have one to a friend from law school and they looked at me like I had 3 heads.

I’m interested in getting a certificate in HR rather than going the SHRM or HRCI route. Do you believe that Certificates in HR are recognized just the same way as HR certifications?

Is there a good argument for getting both PHR and SHRM-CP?

For those working in manufacturing, do you use a selection assessment for hiring production employees? If yes, which assessment? Pros and cons? Do you believe they add value and improving your quality of hire?

What is the typical buy-in for partnership in a smaller/boutique firm? my firm has 9 attorneys (one associate). We aren’t in a big city- but in a larger metropolitan area. Annual revenue is 7-8 figures. I did not pay anything out of pocket/ or take out a loan, but my “buy in” is my distributions for the first three years as partner will be reduced by 20%.

Looking to move to California, but don’t have a CA license yet. All litigation jobs require CA license. Any suggestions for jobs that don’t require specifically CA license. Most of the in house jobs require experience in areas where I don’t have experience. So lost. TIA

Best non traditional jd-preferred roles !?

I had a zoom interview with three partners last Thursday. I thought it went super well, but haven't heard anything yet. Should I follow up with the in-firm recruiter, if so, when? This is for a position in a highly ranked but regional (mountain state) firm. Thanks!

What would be the next step after being a team manager in sales ?

One of my current coaching clients told me “I have to interview for my job.” It’s not the first time I’ve heard of this happening in a re-org. But please, HR folks, help me understand: Why this is a good idea? It seems incredibly anxiety-provoking for the employees. What’s the business rationale for this? And what does it do to employee morale?

Hello everybody! Any insights about how is HR job market at top companies in NY/NJ area right now? Just arrived to US. Thx 🫶🏻

Inflation costs are killing my pipeline. Many of my deals are scaling back greatly because of their rising operating costs.

How do we overcome the inflation objection? I mean obviously the answer is to show how much value we offer, but how do we do that when all of the companies we work with barely have enough funding?

They need our services, which is at least some job security, but their scale back is greatly affecting our projections and quota attainment.

First year associate: not sure if I’m doing lawyer work or paralegal work...about 1.5 months in

What do you call the litigation tactic (especially in discovery) where OC hounds you to hurry up on everything, then they drag their feet and do bare minimum in return? "Speed-up slow-down" tactics?

Hey folks! Do you share all of your work history on LinkedIn?

Starting work on Monday at UAE for the first time, I feel like I had the longest weekend ever 😆

Hi All,

I havr 3 years gap after graduation and total experience of 3.3 in IT sector.

I have cleared technical interview and managerial round.

Is gap going to create any problem?

Would it be wild if I added my preferred gender pronouns to my signature? (He/his)

Who here moved from a large enterprise to a medium sized business? I just got presented with a compelling offer. I’m excited for less politics, but might be dealing with more ambiguity. Would love to hear anecdotes. Thanks

What's best firm for IAM- PwC, Deloitte or KPMG?

Hey guys, I'm a junior trying to better my portfolio. Anyone open to giving me some feedback on my work? (it's mostly spec)

How many days it takes usually to release the offer letter in Cerner?
I have received the congratulations on selection mail and have completed the Versant test also, it is 4th day now, and i have not received the offer letter till now. Should I be worried 😥

Venting a bit: Are you finding DEI groups at work overrun with allies. Is there also an increase in celebrating said allies? Is it just me?

Most of the groups I'm in (esp. event teams) are being taken over by allies wanting to do what they think should be done to 'celebrate' whatever topic the month is, usually speaking over marginalized coworkers and rarely consulting with them. It seems like the only time this doesn't happen is for gay (usually yt) men or BHM. I'm just feeling so...minimized.

I’m thinking of turning down a job offer without anything (or anything full-time) lined up. Tell me if I’m being stupid, given the current economy, or if it’s better to hold out.
Context: I was reduced from full-time to part-time freelance at my old (current?) job. The place where I have an offer is very young, doesn’t have a creative director (I would be answering to marketing), and the offer is well below what I believe is average for midlevel in the city they’re in.

Anyone with salary over 50lakh CTC ??

Please share your experiences and the skills you are expertise in ..
