Anyone ever apply for positions through BCG Attorney Search that can provide some insight on the process? The idea of applying somewhere that I don’t even know the name of is a tad of a concern. But, I’m curious if anyone can provide any comments.

If you search BCG, I think you’ll find lots of negative reviews. I’d stay away. Go with recruiters recommended by people you know.

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

How do you engage your students in more reading outside of what is required in the classroom? With each passing year I am finding an ever shrinking population of students, including honors students, who actually read beyond what is posted in social media or video games.

What are some strategies that you use beyond reading logs ?

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
