Do 2 big names on my resume (regardless of role) help me be a better candidate for roles that I am actually interested in at other large firms even though my particular experience isn’t really related to the roles I am applying to? For ex lets say I have 2 marketing related roles at big companies but I havent gotten much classical marketing experience it has been more support/project coordinating-after experience at these companies do I have a good shot at qualifying for real marketing roles?

I’m in talks with management about being a candidate for a new position, Project Manager. This would be a promotion for me; however, a member of my team indicated the company may not want to increase compensation for this role even though I would have more responsibilities. It was even stated that “They may even want to fire people who asked for more money.” I am staggered. Do you advice for me? Should I look elsewhere? Any referrals? Any insight/assistance appreciated.

I've been in manual testing for 80% of my career. Despite attempts to transfer into a more code-centric role, I never got the opportunity to do so. Now that I'm in a management role, I feel like it's too late to enhance my programming skills.

Anyone been open with their superiors about sobriety/recovery? Curious to hear about your experiences, both positive and negative.

Feeling underwater since around October, and decided to finally bring it up to my boss—now a senior associate is questioning exactly how busy I am, and seems rather interested in my workload and how it’s handled. ?s started when told to temporarily stop sending new projects my way. this sr. associate generally does not get too involved (never online), doesn’t pay too much attention, little to no feedback. No substantive projects. This reaction comes off as hostile. How to handle?

First time defending a deposition in a federal case next week. Welcome all tips and tricks. Let’s hear them.

I am a 2nd year associate at a plaintiff’s firm specializing in toxic tort cases (individual). I’ve had the opportunity to be third chair on a trial, and will likely be second chair in an upcoming trial. However, given the track record of the firm and the amount of money at stake in each case, I am afraid I won’t get any first chair experience, if any, for at least another 5-7 years. I am considering staying at the firm but trying to get trial experience through side Pro Bono work. Thoughts?

Any feedback on FisherBroyles?

Law clerk still figuring out legal research. My firm uses Lexis and I did some jury verdict research. A partner later asked that I limit this to sustained verdicts but I can’t figure out the best way to do this. I reached out to Lexis, but their recommendation that I add “outcome(sustained)” brought my results to 0 no matter how wide I made the search. Is there a better way? Is there a way to check the cases I had found previously? Any advice is appreciated!!!

1st year associate in a small/medium personal injury firm. When is it too early to ask for a raise? Should I wait until my annual review in November?

I lateraled from ID to BigLaw. I am finding that the staff upon which I must now rely are not nearly as knowledgeable, skilled and well-trained as those I worked with at my last firm. I am constantly correcting their mistakes and realizing they need a lot more supervision than my previous staff. I was once a paralegal, so I try to give as much grace as I can - knowing that we rise and fall as a team. But an error this week sent me over the edge and I'm beyond frustrated. Advice?

I’m a newly minted partner in a small (~10 lawyers) commercial litigation boutique made up primarily of former Big Law lawyers. We practice mainly in NY and NJ. I changed cities several years into my career so I do not have as big a professional network as many of my colleagues and am having a tough time developing business. Best strategies? BNI? Local bar association? What has worked best for you? Thanks in advance!!

Could anyone elaborate on or point me in the direction for info on AUSAs, when it comes to restrictions on trading securities? I know the SEC is very strict and has a blanket rule for all attorneys, but not sure about DOJ attorneys (and whether it depends on what office/unit/section you’re in).

Writing question: Should a motion, such as one for summary judgment, include a citation after ever sentence? I was taught that every sentence should be followed with a citation. (unless it’s clearly obvious that a sentence doesn’t need one, e.g., “Therefore summary judgment should be granted”) At my new firm, I don’t see that as the practice and was curious what the broader legal community thought.
