As a past client, I had a great experience working for many years with the same group of lawyers from WE. Now looking at the reviews on here, maybe I was one of the lucky ones who got a stable long term team.

Current WEMED associate. Your experience is very dependent on you team/partners you’re staffed under. That being said, I know several associates in the Miami office who enjoy it and have partners that respect their boundaries.

That’s good to hear. Do you know if they’re doing gl litigation or coverage?

Our competitor :)

imo, jumping for a small salary bump only is never worth it. If you're not getting new opportunities, better culture, or something else, a little bit of money could easily be offset by unexpected problems, or potential issues if you try jump again soon after

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid. Or do they just pick a number, like “yeah they can get to know their kid in a few weeks and I couldn’t possibly have that attorney out for 12 weeks?” I’m at a small firm, no FMLA or state requirement. We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken?

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.
