Anyone else out there looking to relocate to a different state and is feeling discouraged? It seems like every job I apply to denies my application even though I put that I am willing to relocate. Is it because my experience is with NY PI and I’m applying to FL PI firms?

You understand FL pi is in the dumps right now right? Lawyers are looking to get out of FL pi and here you are lol......idk your exp level but fl lawyers dont want to teach an old pony new tricks and they dont want to overpay either. They can teach a new associate for half the price to get the same job done.

I didnt realize youre a managing para sorry. Same answer only now i know why: you're way too expensive coming from ny and they dont want to waste their time. And theyll have to teach you. Good luck.

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?

I'm a 6th year attorney in NYC.

Hi everyone - I'm contemplating an offer from a large PI firm. I'm a little more than halfway through completing my 2nd year of practice, and I'm currently at a small firm with a low salary that's just no longer cutting it.

The offer from the large firm is for a pre-suit position, base salary of $100K - is this salary pretty standard for this kind of position?

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!!

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
