Anyone have experience with medical malpractice practice insurance defense? Pros/cons? Is the case load usually heavier than other realms of litigation?

I've been doing it for ten years now and I LOVE IT! It really depends on the firm, though. I finally found my "home" over three years ago. I really dislike the billing aspect, but love that I work pretty independently. I love finding and working with experts, and trial prep/trials are my favorite part of the job. That's where it all comes together!

I had a little over 100 cases. In the state I was in it was a two step process so you had to go before the department on insurance first, which made it a longer and much more cumbersome process.

I’m beyond irritated by one of my coworkers. Just so disorganized, doesn’t show up to meetings, doesn’t reply to emails, constantly have to chase him, miss deadlines because of him. Management knows but does nothing about it. He really is a nice guy so it’s hard to hate him but I’m gonna lose it sooner or later. I’ve tried talking to him, I’ve tried escalating, putting reminders on his calendar. Nothing works. What are my options? Suck it up or leave? This is unnecessary stress for me

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.
