Is it reasonable to be expected to spend 20-30 non-billable hours a month checking your paralegal’s work? (i.e. summarizing hundreds of records and bills). The partner said he “didn’t use paralegals” at his previous firm and eating the time is an “investment in yourself.” Is this common?

I’m mid-level in my HR career at my current company and an upcoming Master’s graduate. Studying for my SHRM-CP too. How did you make the transition to that next level? What skills do you need, or is it really just based on YOE (I am the youngest compared to my teammates, many who have 10+ YOE)? I feel like career pathing is not very clear at my company. Each time I ask for guidance on this from my manager, I get told they’ll look into it.... would love some external mentorship and thoughts 🙏🏼

I'm seeking a corporate communications role in London, after over 10 years in conferences and at the senior level (event director) in London and Asia. I believe I am well familiar with business operations and strategy but not so much for non-event marketing channels. May I get some advice on if I should simply apply for such roles at a junior level, or would you recommend certain courses/training that could bridge the skill gap? Thank you!

I’m so tired of the fun getting sucked out design via overzealous feedback on legibility, golden ratios, and whatever new “rule” some design bro talked about in his money grab authoritarian keynote. Surely I’m not the only one who listens to their gut feelings? Sometimes ugly and wrong is interesting. Where did everyone’s imagination go?

I’m 28 and I have never been in a relationship because apparently I’m too selective. I’ve tried to be open to everyone, but they seem to only want flings and nothing more, which is why I haven’t been intimate with anyone in 5 years. This is just a few of my preferences:

- Educated
- Career-oriented
- 6 ft and above
- Non-smoker

- Open to all personalities except xssholes
- Open to all races

I was told to just sleep around since I’m not even 30 yet and to just have fun. Am I the only one?

One of those days where I really can’t stand my job - I’m even entertaining ideas of becoming a baby mama to a rich dude so I can collect child support and don’t have to work here to make money. Ridiculous, I know

How do I ask for pay parity with peers? External hires of course make a higher base, but some reps that have been moved up are making a higher base due to starting higher when hired as SDRs. I am a top 10% rep in the org, so do I approach it based on performance or parity? Also I know better than to name drop, but is it acceptable to admit that I know what my peers make when making the ask?

I interviewed with Citi 3 weeks ago (London) and haven’t heard back since. I felt the interview went well. Interviewer told me that I will hear back in a couple of weeks as the entire floor is hiring at the moment and HR is swamped. She said it in such a positive tone/way as well. I emailed HR last week and have not heard back. Is this normal? The wait is gruesome. Not sure if I’ve just been ghosted or if this is normal.
