Hello everyone,

If yes, how?

Are there any tech innovative educators out there? If so, what are your job responsibilities?

The prestige and cachet of many firms is no longer sufficient to recruit and retain top-talent. Would a shift in culture (to align with tech) make banks a more desirable option?

I am working in Softtek from 2.8 yrs , now I want to switch but even now my background Qualification of being Mechanical Engineer gets in the way for most companies as that's the basic criteria as BE in IT, computer science or related feild and CV gets rejected in screening all the time .

Hi all! After graduating with my MBA with a focus in project management, I moved organizations to go from an EMR education manager to a full time project manager specializing in EMR implementation projects. I’ve found that although I enjoy the work- changing organizations and roles in a remote world was harder than I anticipated. I want to be great at my job and I think connecting with others that have gone through similar things could help.

What books, courses, or certificates do you recommend for someone who’s looking to get into product management? I have a Tech Strategy background but no experience with products specifically. Not sure where to start so would appreciate tips from those of you already in the space. Thank you!

Recently started working with a client that does not have admin access to their own FB business account. In hopes of getting access back, I have been contacting FB support.

Now the FB rep is saying to send materials like business tax filings, cert. of formation, utility bills, article of incorporation, IDs and more.

Is this normal? Has anyone had experience with something like this. Afraid to advise sending these materials before doing my own ‘Fishbowl Research.’

My biggest mistake was accepting a promotion to manager, it made me realize that I'm not very good at managing people. Should I ask if I can go back to my old role?

Any idea on which IT/application course/platform would be better for someone from BA (English) who has no idea on coding to get into IT domain?

Waiting to hear from an in house job and received another offer from a firm - it seems highly likely that the in house job will give an offer but would it be acceptable to reach out and inform them of this pending offer to gauge their timeline? I don’t want to keep the firm waiting or let the offer lapse.

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

I have been given P30 but it was no where in my offer letter, I was under an assumption that I will be going as a Manager but this is not a Manager role, I am having 10+ years of experience

Unpopular opinion; do we have to bring race, sexual orientation and gender conversations to the workplace? I am European, working in the states and honestly I sometimes wish the workplace would be just what it is meant to be- a workplace. I went to school with Jews, Muslims, blacks, whites, Asians, gays, straights and we would just all get along without overthinking everything we’d say. Ok. Ban me now.

I read an interesting article from Accenture about using APIs in RPA projects. I always wondered why I haven't seen anyone RPA project where we used APIs. It just seems to enhance the process...

I would be starting my EB1C GC process very soon and I would be eligible for PP since my PD is June 2021. So assuming everything goes fine, I will have my i140 in around 3 months considering my firm takes 1-1.5 months for documentation. I am not going for concurrent filing since my wife will come here after 4-5 months. I am wondering if there will be any cooling period because of my wife’s late arrival to the states for filing i485 or we can file as soon as she is here. Contd.

Just heard of the story of a senior who was fired because she was interviewing at a new firm, and this new firm called her current firm for references. Obviously they (cont’d)...

First year review: I have to become a better legal writer/ writer in general. Writing was never a strong suit and this has to change.

Please drop book recommendations!!

Thoughts on: 1) the winning brief; 2) point made; 3) legal writing in plain English

I’m a felony prosecutor and have never worked in the private sector (both before and since becoming an attorney). I’m considering switching to a private firm, but don’t know where to start. My private law friends have recruiters reaching out to them based on where they work. How do I get recruiters to notice me? Should I be hiring a recruiter? (Is that even a thing?)

— realizing I have a few blind spots!

I was a state prosecutor for 3.5 years and now entering civil litigation. What “year” can I reasonably be expected to be for compensation purposes? Obviously I don’t have 3 years of civil experience but some of what I learned will translate.

Aside from NALP, where can I find a reputable survey of attorney salaries?

Firm email system is down today so.....snow day?

Anybody struggling with fellow associates in big law? Currently working with associates that will stab you in the back at all costs and don’t care about building friendships, etc. This environment is mentally draining and I feel like I am an outlier for being kind. Truly shows that nice people finish last.

I want to start a thread about important questions to ask before accepting a job offer. For example, before accepting a job offer I will generally respond to the offer asking the following questions:

1. Health insurance (insurer name, deductibles, my portion of the premium)
2. 401 K (company match?)
3. Bonus structure
4. Required billable hours
5. My office hours
6. Partnership track
7. Will I have an assistant/paralegal?
8. Will I have my own office?

Please add to this!

I have a friend who left BL to work for SEC and took a $100k slash in income. His professor from Georgetown who worked in SEC for 7 years went into the private sector and starting salary was $2million. This just blows my mind 🤯

Prepping to interview for an associate corporate counsel position at a construction co. I have limited experience repping a small manufacturing Corp. How to convince them to take a chance on me?

1st year associate (NY) thinking about lateraling into a large insurance defense firm from Municipal work/L&E, pay jump 75 to 125 and hybrid as opposed to fully in office. Basically is the pay jump/hybrid worth giving up current practice area to ID? If it turns out I hate ID, thoughts on leveraging the litigation experience and substantive knowledge of L&E to then lateral again within 2 years?

Had a second interview with AmLaw200 firm Monday, which I originally got from a referral from an influential partner. All seemed to go fantastic and heard back from two of the most relevant partners replying to my thank you email saying they’d definitely be in touch soon. Now I’m getting nervous although I’ve got other interviews and don’t really want them to get back yet. I also know it can take a bit to get an offer together but the anticipation is increasing. Should be a great weekend!

Agreed to serve as local counsel for another attorney in my firm (different office). Answered complaint and then the case fell off the rails. Turns out firm has a conflict of interest that was missed in initial check, client has been instructed to retain a new attorney, court has ordered us to withdraw and client to produce documents by Wednesday. I keep reaching out to the attorney who I am assisting to ask if I can file my withdrawal and for the name of the new attorney and nothing. (Cont.)

Have you ever had another attorney mark up your drafts to where the entire document is basically rewritten, and all of the changes were stylistic and not substantive? I am a third year. A 6th year attorney did this to me. It was a simple ancillary document of which I have drafted plenty of before. I almost want to bring it up to someone but I don’t want to seem whiny but I’m angry? This isn’t the first time Ive felt disrespected by this person and I don’t feel comfortable going to them directly

We are working on trying to convince firm management to update their very outdated meal reimbursement policy. Do others mind sharing what theirs are? Interested in maximum amount, whether there is a billable hours requirement, whether meals have to be delivered to the office, and whether any changes during pandemic. Thanks! If you don’t mind supplying law firm, would appreciate it.
