Any other associates annoyed by how insurance defense partners don’t want to tell you how they pad their billing and then they seem so flabbergasted by you not padding your billing (“capturing your time”) the same way they do?

It's called "value billing" and you better get on board if you're gonna stay an insurance defense attorney

There’s a whole bunch of ‘strategies’ that ID firms use to get around insurance company rules. For example, they tell you to ‘save your time’ on something you can’t bill for and add that time to another task later. It’s incredibly dumb that the firms cater to the insurance companies the way they do instead of negotiating reasonable billing standards.

Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back.

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
