Anyone have any reliable free resources (CLEs, practice guides) for tax law and estate/probate/wills? I don’t have the money for anything paid, but I’d like to selfstudy these areas in the meantime. My state bar and libraries don’t appear to have a practice series or anything like that, so it’s been hard finding something viable other than the ole’ Google and pray.

Hi Fishes!

This question is mainly for the people in that 20s and 30s. Just want to know if there is a trend and if our spending habits are taking a turn for the worse.

Most of us saw increase in our pay checks earlier this year, mainly due to resignation wave. Given how easy it is to spend money these days, have you guys noticed any changes in your spending habits? Have you started overspending or you are still mindful about day to day purchases?

How is everyone finding the year-end craziness to close deals this year?

LCSW 50k loan repayment- Has anyone been granted a contract through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program? I’m interested in applying for the 2 years of full time work as an LCSW but my loans are a bit under 50k so I’m wondering if they would only give me what I need to clear my loans or would I still get 50k as long as I complete my contract ?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Engaged, and beginning to do joint retirement planning. I’move got IRAs, 401ks, the usual. My fiancé says she’s never opened an IRA because her parents started a program for her under New York life. Went to the website and it seems like it’s completely different - some annuities, some life insurance that you can withdraw early (?). Anyone ever go this route or have insight into it?

What’s something that you had to consciously unlearn after leaving a toxic firm?

I work in a firm with about 30 lawyers. Our firm primarily does civil defense work for insurance companies, employers, and some governmental entities. It feels like a betrayal of my Black friends to be silent right now. But, at the same time, being more visible could piss off clients and, as a result, piss off firm management. Have you found a way to show up for friends/family in a public way without risking the guillotine at work?

Does the title “senior associate” mean anything?

Can you share first year salary for midsize firms? I'm in NJ, but curious to hear other markets. Also billable targets? Thanks!

I’m outside counsel who specializes is a very specific area of securities work. I’m working with an in house attorney who just frankly has no idea what he’s doing and has been very dismissive and borderline rude. I felt that this needed to be raised to his superior (who I have a good relationship) as it was going to lead to potential liability of the firm. Did I do the right thing?

I am currently a gov attorney at a major metro area in the northeast. I recently received an offer from a ID private firm (1900 billable hours) in the area for about 40k more than my currently salary. I was going to accept, but now I’m having second thoughts about leaving a secure gov job with good benefits. Really not sure what to do.

Currently at a toxic firm but would like to stay at least a year so I can put it on my resume. Is a year long enough to include it or should I push for a year and a half or two?

My boss asked me how much time I need off for the bar exam (second juristiction). I told him I'd like to start really hammering down beginning of July. He was fine with that, but as far as being "gone" no one has said anything about me taking time off. The firm has unlimited vacation. Are they still going to pay me? Lol. I know this is very specific, but I'm curious what has been the case for others at firms with similar vacation rules.

If you are eligible for unemployment and your appeal date has passed and you have heard nothing about the claim or received payment who should you contact? The claim has been open since February and the appeal date was June. Apparently, there have been multiple attempts by phone and email but they have not received any call or email back.

Please do not judge me as I’ve never done this before…. When asked for a list of conflicts, should I provide list of clients or all specific matters I worked on? It’s a lot!

And now begins the waiting game to hear back from a firm after an interview. Pretty sure it went terrible so please put me out of my misery.

For those of you whose firms don’t have free market work allocation, what kind of system do you have in place (particularly for more junior attorneys)? Does it work?

Want to get the perspective of younger attorneys. We’re a 4-attorney firm (2 partners, one associate, one OC) looking to add a 5th attorney. I left a mid-sized litigation firm on the East Coast where I was a partner to open my own firm. Decision was driven by quality of life. We are a civil lit firm. We don’t have billing requirements per se. We have expectations, but we’re reasonable - big on flexibility & quality of life. What are young associates looking for when evaluating job opportunities?
