Asking for a friend: just found out she is pregnant while working with a resourceful recruiter to apply with big firms. Should friend tell the recruiter about the pregnancy and being candid?

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

Has anyone tried DBT for anxiety? Just want to hear experiences and if/how it helped you.

Switched to industry from audit about 2 months ago and it’s been worse than expected. Made sure to do my due diligence asking about flexibility, work life balance, etc. and everything has been worse than what I was told. Talked to one of my old recruiters and they said this job is already showing red flags this early and should consider getting out before I’m in too deep and can just leave this off my resume. Any experience/advice with this kind of situation?

How are you all feeling about the job market and your interview prep? Full steam ahead or on pause?

So I’m currently in the training process (20 weeks) and we start live phone calls next Monday and I’m a bit nervous to start talking to people on the phone in regards to their insurance. It’s been a lot of information to retain.. I know that we get 6 months of coaching after training but I still feel really uneasy. Is there any advice for a new health care concierge? Thank you!! @

Reading through some possible interview questions for FAANG. One of the ones I've seen on Glassdoor are to design a basic architecture structure for something like Netflix or Twitter or Spotify. I've been researching online using AWS or GCP (still learning all the moving parts of architecture). Any advice on how the setup would be? I'm assuming you'd start with some Load Balancers. For Netflix maybe have different different APIs for signing up vs scrolling through possible movies?

I received an offer from a boutique litigation firm and a large law firm on the same day! I want to take a little time to consider both. What’s the typical time frame to respond?

Been working at a startup law firm doing transactional work and recently the partner of another firm doing private defense litigation has attempted to scalp me with a base pay well above my current. Likely going to turn it down seeing as I enjoy the flexibility of where I’m at but any experience with this and how to appropriate handle/leverage this event for a positive result with current employer?

Would you recommend candidates to work with a larger or smaller legal recruitment agency? Why?

I'm a first-year in an administrative practice (electricity) at a V25. What can someone hyper-specialized like me do after biglaw? Should I jump to corp/lit (I do a little of both) before it's too late, or try to do more work in those practices?

Do you have any pointers for an associate looking to move to Dubai?

I am in my seventh year of practice. I was admitted to the bar in March of 2015. My main areas of practice are Corporate, Commercial, Banking and Finance (mainly asset finance - aviation), and Projects.

Your advice will be highly appreciated.

How bad does it look to future employers for an experienced attorney (15+ years) who is pivoting into a different practice area and looking to lateral after only having been at their current/first job for 4-5 months in the new practice area? I've been told by a recruiter that it's not a deal breaker because of my experience level. But many colleagues have suggested I remain where I'm at (miserable and unappreciated - just took a $20k pay cut) for at least a year.

Does anyone have experience with the Charlotte legal market?

Currently privacy in-house counsel. Was offered senior privacy position at a tech company but it’s not a counsel role. Should I be concerned about future job options?

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table. She said the company would take this into account and make me whole. She later asked for proof of the equity in the form of my account statement and balance, which I provided. I have not yet received an offer. Is it typical for companies to ask for this documentation if they don't intend to make the candidate an offer?

Thoughts on applying for a position for a wrong class year? (e.g., a 2nd year applying for a 3rd year position) Is it a "Nothing to lose" situation or is there reason to be more cautious?

I was fired by my firm in Oct for a combo of covid-related & other reasons, jumped right into volunteering for Biden campaign, then spent Dec/Jan dealing with family issues. Now trying to figure out how to address in interviews, what to do about writing samples & references. In the past I’ve only worked with recruiters when they contacted me about a particular job. Can I hire a recruiter to help me with my job search? Or a career coach? If so, how do I find the right person?

Does it mean anything specifically when a company/firm reposts their position? I went on a phone screen and it went really well (so I thought) and got the interview with a AmLaw200 firm. I thought the interview went okay but then 8 days later no contact and I saw that they reposted the position. I’ve had my position for almost 8 months and I’m ready to leave but that’s another story.

Looking to switch firms, getting lots of recruiter emails, but have a hard time making any decisions since I don’t have the time/experience w/recruiters to weigh their companies. Not sure how to best approach it really, as I want to avoid having to deal with someone who is just scouring form openings on their website. What’s the best approach here? I’m nyc, transactional, 3rd year, v90. Any recommends?
