A partner at my firm just invited me and my SO to dinner with him, his senior associate, and the senior associate’s SO. I’m fairly new to the firm, but I’m told the partner doesn’t do this often and he’s fairly private about his matters and clients. Could this be a sign he’s bringing me into the fold? Or something else? My apologies in advance for the naïve question. I’ve been to many “get to know you” lunches, but never dinner with spouses.

Agreed. I can’t think of how this is in anyway a bad sign. Good for you!

Currently a JR PM at an ad agency in NYC. Working on social media for my client. Really don't enjoy it. Previous experience is in experiential marketing and really loved that because I knew humans would interact, touch, and feel the things I helped create.
Not attached to advertising, I crave work that makes me think critically and isn't redundant. I am a huge people person and love interacting with people. I am wondering if anyone has career paths or style of work that is more inline with me 🙂

HELP! I’ve been contacted by a small private security firm who wants me to be their “on call” counsel. They describe it as a lot of contract review, drafting NDAs, etc. but also being there if/when they need to license a vehicle, defend civil suit, etc. It’s overwhelming but sounds like a really great opportunity. I have enough background to be comfortable with contracts and litigation, but don’t want to get myself into a mess. Has anybody else ever had a job like this?

Ethics and Side Hustles: With side hustles for everyone apparently 'a thing' for everyone now, I took a look at content writing on Upwork. Putting aside the employment contract stuff, I am having my doubts about whether lawyers can actually produce content.
