I have, and actually got approval for reimbursement. Haven’t utilized it yet but I think it’s a nice complement to the CPA and could be a transitionary mechanism down the line.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.

I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
