AA or Delta (Air France) to fly coach to Rome?

The number of vacant properties around the city is awful and clearly contributes to our high cost of living. An unused property tax is ideal, but probably a longshot. What's the best thing we can do to better this situation? What's the best thing we can do with them?

Do banks provide GST invoice of the charges they take?

I've received inward remittance in my account and for that bank has taken their commission along with GST charges + service charge on foreign exchange. But they have not provided the GST invoice of this transaction.

I'm trying to convince them to provide me the GST invoice as I'm availing their service, when they are providing their service, taking charges and then they should also provide the invoice of the same!

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

For the Consultants who travel weekly... do you have a studio or a full apartment? Cheap or luxury? Or both? I’m debating should so downsize to save money. (Chicago)

Hey all, received a Perm audit in Oct 2020 for my case filed in May 2020. It seems like a random audit. Any thoughts of how long it will potentially take to resolve? To make matters more complicated, I’m on a F1 visa OPT expiring within 3 months

To help the community brace itself, please provide facts on your Utilization, level, leads, YoE at EY, and network.
My experience seems that the ones let go, had weak network.

Soft skills - I’m Indian and I feel I’m too direct. My manner of speaking and writing is no frills. But I feel consulting needs frills and real life needs some softening up. How can I improve on this

That moment you open a walkthrough to clear review notes., only to find that past you has already cleared most of them 💙

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Anyone have a solid 8th grade Math curriculum? I’m teaching is a mixture of Algebra 1, and Pre-Algebra. But I’m not sure how much to delve in polynomials and radicals- as they will get that in Alg 1.

Wow. I finally got a standing desk and it is LIFE changing 🫶

Anyone have tiered fees? Wondering about the feasibility, and separately, ethics of, for example:

Monday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm is [rate]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 5:30 pm to 7:30 the next day is 1.25 * [rate]
Friday 5:00 - Monday 7:30 am is 1.75 * [rate]

Already seeing the pitfall of the bill having to be lengthy to detail when the work was done. I’m just so tired of people thinking I have to be available 24/7 at their convenience. I feel like clients would become way more reasonable

I believe improving one’s sales conversion rate is something everyone want to improve but no one wants to admit they would like to work it. Funny how lawyers will spend thousands on seminars to improve trial skills. But this topic is not discussed in our profession. I have read books in sales. But am unable to find any for lawyers. I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?

I started my own practice, it feels like 40-50% biz development/ admin work. 30% practicing law and 10% coffee breaks. Anyone else? Mind you it’s a corporate practice so ALOT of calls that sometimes turn into nothing.

Thinking of starting my own estate planning and real estate closing law firm. I have some experience in both. My concern is getting clients once I open the doors. I graduated in 2018 and have worked in a few different jobs since then. I am located about 45 min outside of Boston. Anyone open their own firm and see success right of the bat? What did you do to start getting clients in the door?

Seeking advice on how to gracefully accept bonuses you feel you deserve? I’m a plaintiff’s attorney in a small firm (1 associate, me and two partners). My salary is about 18k lower than market. I stayed because I genuinely do like the work and I was promised bonuses when finances allowed (no clearer policy/structure than that). I struggle with how to handle bonuses because I am grateful but I also feel like I deserve them given my low salary.

Could anyone please share their income the first 1-4 years for a solo family law and or criminal defense firm?

Estate planning lawyers, what software do you use / recommend for preparing estate planning documents?

With all of the scamming going on, how are ppl sending payment instructions for settlement checks?

Some success, now what? I started a solo practice July 2020. I’ve been successful in building a book of business sufficient to satisfy my overhead and provide me with a respectable income. I want to grow my practice somehow, but I’m stuck at figuring out how. I do mainly corporate transactional work and some litigation. Any advice?

Super niche fields—- I’m a solo and I’m always interested in researching super niche fields to add to my offerings, which is currently mostly a transactional business practice. Example- I know a Employment attorneys who focus on specific claims against specific employers, and others who focus on really limited aspects of the tax code. What are your super niche fields?

Back when the pandemic first hit, everybody at the firm took a 20% pay cut (with 20% reduction in billables...which was meaningless because I still had work to get done in a timely manner). Pay cuts still in effect through end of year. Anybody else out there still working under pandemic-related salary reductions?

I’m an associate attorney at a mid-size family law practice. (5 attorneys, 3 support staff). I’ve been here for 3 years and just asked for a raise to $130k from $90k. My annual billable target is 1400. However, since I’ve been here I’ve barely broken 1000 despite working my ass off. I bill out at $375. They told me no more raises unless I start taking my own cases. Now they just hired a new associate and are paying him $170k and he takes his own cases. Am I being unreasonable asking for $130k?

Lawcus v. Clio? Which do you prefer?

How long did it take until your first settlement? What was the final amount?

Been practicing a year now. Of 6 attorneys, 4 will be retiring soon, and I was brought in to hopefully take over. I am troubled: first that my partners largely provide me with no guidance. They handed me a client with a large quantity of fairly straightforward casework and have been hands off since. There also hasn’t been any talk of a raise/performance review. How should I ask for guidance/mentor ship? How do I ask for a raise, or should I presume one is coming?

Requesting thoughts on developing a registered agent / local business advice (contacts, defense, small real estate masters, etc.) client book. I am thinking about developing semi-passive income streams for myself as a member of a small firm who does litigation and some of this work already. Any advice or anecdotal experience, anyone?
