I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money. 1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case? 2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances? 3. What documents should I carry with me?

Hi all, my current title is Motion Graphics Designer. I just finished my probation (6 months which is very uncommon). I proactively asked my manager for a review because I negotiated to have "title review" included in my contract when I got hired as they didn't want to offer Senior Motion Designer. The department head (my manager's boss) is happy with the work I delivered. How should I prepare for this title review and pay raise negotiation? Currently getting paid 88k. I am expecting 95-100k

Not a lawyer specific question, but since many of us have crazy student loan debt thought I’d ask here. Why on earth isn’t there a conversation around the predatory interest rates on student loans? I feel like it would be so easy for the federal government to slash those rates, then people would actually pay back their loans, and it would be so much better for so many. We are instead having exclusively conversations about loan forgiveness but why no love for reduction in interest?

My friend thought I went to law school to become a paralegal and assumed I was a paralegal. Should I assume she is ignorant or just thinks there’s no way I can be a lawyer?

Our firm emailed all personnel to mention they've made the annual profit sharing contribution to our 401(k) accounts. The only problem is that if you've been there less than two years you're not eligible, but you still got the email and irrationally thought for a second that you just got a bunch of free money. ☹️

Recruiters are completely, utterly useless and will do nothing but waste your time. Change my mind. Just venting.

To experienced attorneys at large employers, has anyone tried starting a small side practice in a different area of law (wills & trusts, for example) and succeeded in building it out over time? Notwithstanding my present employer being happy/okay with this, curious as to the feasibility when I have no real experience in the practice area.
Would like a separate law-related side hustle to potentially build into my full time work down the road. Thanks.

Does anyone else have motivation problems for those odd bits of time between meetings? For example: this morning I had a call at 10, ended at 10:30 and did a quick memo. Have another call at 11 but cannot seem to bring myself to do anything in the interim. This is a recurring issue and it’s really (negatively) impacting my billing. Does anyone have any advice or solutions???

Is it true that it’s exceedingly difficulty to transition from insurance defense work (7+ years) to either commercial litigation or an in-house position? I’m worried about staying on this path for too long, becoming pigeon holed and not being able to get out of it.
