Had a buddy who lateraled here. I haven’t heard from him since, but I’ve been getting weird things in the mail. Box of cookies, tickets to the playoffs, that kind of thing, with no return address, just the words “Join us” in blood stained ink in the upper left hand corner.

Friends help friends get their referral bonuses.

Lateraled within the last month and have had a positive experience. Onboarding was zoom orientation for a week and they set up meetings with people in your group to meet. Happy to discuss more if you want to DM me!

My friend lateraled in Spring. They gave all these talks in onboarding re WLB, importance of mental health, taking care of yourself. And then they had one last talk that was all about putting the firm and client service above all else.

Friend thought it was hilarious, willful blindness.

Bain & Company Any advice on how to increase my chances of getting a full time offer after my intership? I start in two months. Recruiters told me more than 90% of interns get confirmed, so how do I make sure I don’t end up in the 10% that doesn’t?

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two. And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box. So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …

Got a fat cat who has a timed/measured feeder. Still gaining weight. We were all stumped. Turns out my cattle dog shares her food with the cat every morning. Someone recommended a water spritz to get him away from the food. I basically soaked him for a few minutes while he stared at me and continued eating. Looks like I'll have to lock him up while the dogs eat from now on.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.
