Can we talk about the bizarre vocab in this industry?? Sometimes people use phrases that l’m almost confident someone made up one day and then everyone started repeating it and now it’s engrained… like why are people asking me to “massage a concept” just ask me to keep developing it or something plz 🥴

There is a company that I want to apply to and I see opportunities on LinkedIn that interest me. I’m also working with a recruiter. It’s close to where I live and she knows where I live but she hasn’t recommended it. I’m guessing she doesn’t have a network with the company. Should I ask her to represent me or should I apply directly myself? What advice do you have? What are the pros and cons?

How does one present email layouts in a client review? I’ve been letting Art start, then jumping into subject lines, then headlines and variable copy, and finally glossing over boilerplate claims. But it feels stilted—is there a more fluid way? (Also it’s a new brand and the client has never seen this art or copy before.)

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX.

I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?
