Anyone take a "lower” job title for the sake of working at a particular agency? What has your experience been like?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Anyone switched from Becker to Wiley and regretted it? I did and though I appreciate the bite-sized lectures, I don't enjoy it as much as Becker. My access for Becker expired already and I don't want to spend 2k again 😭 such a tough choice to make but I feel like I'm not getting what I need from Wiley.

Just a hypothetical. Would you tell your pml/directors+ that you want to switch careers into investment banking? And potentially get their help in networking to find opportunities?

Hi Guys,

In general, is having several years of consulting/ being a career consultant seen as plus or negative by state and city government agencies hiring for leadership positions?

Can we stop attaching unpublished cases yet?

Plaintiffs attorneys - do you typically run public record searches on potential clients? Similarly, if potential client has been involved in 50+ lawsuits since 2010, how fast do I run for the hill?

Gratefulness: As attorneys, let’s take a moment to be grateful — we are educated, influential, involved, and ... even if we complain about it, we have jobs that pay us well and keep us moving forward.

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.)

Any management consultants turned lawyers in this bowl?

I’d never really looked at my billing stats until today, ie the nitty gritty (second year, AMLAW lit) — I have a 98% realization ratio. Feeling pretty good about my revenue generation and the fact that I’m about to put in my notice and go make that sweet revenue for another firm.

Anyone that has interviewed at Winstead: How long does the interview process?

How do you know when you deserve a raise? I’ve been working as a real estate closing attorney for 4 months making 80k in Atlanta GA. With rising rent prices and what not I feel like I could really use a raise, besides that I do good work. Part of me feels like I just need to be grateful that I have a job and then another part of me doesn’t want to fall into the trap of undervaluing myself.

So who else here is experiencing plummeting billable hours and exponential weight gain since this whole WFH thing started? Bought snacks for 30 days, finished in 48 hours.

Ngl this crisis just affirmed my decision about not wanting to have kids. Serious props to the parents attempting to simultaneously bill and homeschool their kids.

Does anyone know anything about Winstead PC in Dallas? Considering a lateral position in their main Dallas office but can’t find much information about working there. Thanks!

Is it a bad look to not go to the firm’s holiday party?

PLEASE HELP! I’m a first year commercial litigation associate at a boutique firm. I am deciding between two offers. One is to go in-house paying roughly the same as I make now. The second offer is from big law as a commercial real estate associate, paying double.

I would love to go in-house and never worry about billable hours again but the big law money is super tempting. Advice?? Is the money really worth it?

Overheard at work: partner speaking meeting notes into a literal dictaphone for his secretary to type up later.

Any mid-sized firms pay Cravath/Millbank in the SF/Silicon Valley area?

I post in this Bowl as “Associate Attorney” only because I post in other Bowls where what “Associate” means would be completely unclear. I believe Walmart also employs “Associates.” Fair clarification or unnecessary flex?

Firm lists sense of humor as a requirement in a job posting. Even weirder because it’s sandwiched between professional reqs like yrs of experience, excellent research/writing skills etc). Do you think it’s indicative of anything cultural? I do have an interview next week so I’m def gonna ask about culture and retention.

How are document review attorneys looked upon by law firms and is this a good career to pursue?? Doing this for deloitte now but not sure what will actually come of it.
