As in two different offices at the same firm? Idk, can be tricky.

like

I don't think it's a big deal as long as you articulate why you're interested in both offices (assuming it's for the same role). If you apply to two unique roles in different groups and different offices, it might look fishy or like you don't know what you want to do.

Doesn’t this depend on the firm and the office? Some firms have totally different recruiting processes and needs by office, so applying to two different offices, even for the same role, can come off as flaky or confused, because for all intents and purposes you’re really submitting two separate applications. Other firms run recruiting in a much more centralized way and explicitly let you select multiple offices up front for the same role, and in that setup choosing more than one office based on your interests in each office is completely valid.

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?
