Depends on your level. The more junior the less important

Aligned to PRD but working in Resources role...it was interesting and I was new (experienced hire), so it got me off the bench. Been working outside of PRD ever since

Thanks A2...consultant so not that important

Yep. Worry about your chargeability and being liked by everyone. It's really easy at this stage.

In the new model, it will hurt you a bit because you won't have any one familiar with your work representing you in the OU talent discussions, you'll be 100% reliant on your CC.

Check with your own MD

Bench is death, so no!

I currently work at a medium sized firm and have about two years experience in personal injury litigation. The billable hours and lack of work life balance are really getting to me and I am looking to switch to something else out of litigation, preferably in house. I am also looking to relocate to a different state. How do I go about properly marketing myself to companies that might not take my relocation and minimal experience seriously?

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role.

I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

To what extent to platforms facilitate union formation? To what extent do they discourage it? You'd think websites like glassdoor, linkedin, and this one would all be in an incredibly powerful position from the point of view of union organizing and the way they design the site could work for us or against us. So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?
