Case load= malpractice? Small plaintiff’s firm of 25 attorneys. I was a 2 year associate hired and given 50 active files in pre litigation status. 9 mos later a partner quit and I inherited 45 more. I got up to 105 files. Now I hover at 85 active files in varying stages of pre lit. I asked managing partner for help and was told to settle more claims to lessen my load. Is this what people consider negative work culture?

If any qualified candidate needs a referral to CohnReznick, please DM me. Fantastic firm, great people and overall culture, great hours compared to other public accounting firms, and we just substantially adjusted salaries to battle inflation effective 1/1/2022. Let me know!

Hi, I have got an offer from HSBC at Analyst - GCB 6 for Business Analyst Role where the job title in the letter is given as Analyst.

Is Hybrid culture of Deloitte ends in near future?
Was it there before covide also and will be there in future ?

Im a third year and my current firm isn't bad and I'm pretty comfortable here. Im satisfied most of the time. There is one firm I've been keeping my eyes on because of its similarities to where I currently am (nice people, similar hours, culture).

Im a bit burned out now and I would love to take a long break. I'm hoping I can take a break (2 months) between the transition but is this a good reason to move though? Would you move in my situation? Im sure there will be a signing bonus.

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

What are some good product based companies to work as Data Engineer?
Good in terms of learning, interesting work and good work culture.

What is the drug culture like at your office? I assume people don’t openly talk about what they do in their free time if illicit, but they may do so quietly or you can otherwise tell.
Do you get the impression many people do them? If so, soft drugs (ex - weed)? Hard drugs? Non-prescribed study drugs? Frequency? At work-sponsored social functions? To an extent that it’s noticeable/problematic?

How much time will they take for background verification in Barclays.
Can anyone tell.

I’m a Geoscientist by profession and have been working at big tech for half my career - the other half in Geosciences - i think i have a brilliant plan for the next best thing in Geosciences and have a working proof of concept already - how should one go about this? I don’t think i can do it alone and need both an investor and a partner.

Hi All,

Has any of the recent joiners joining date at KPMG Global Services been rescheduled by the HR?
Mine has been rescheduled from 21st Nov to 5th Dec because of some back end data issue in the HR system. Is this normal?
Please suggest.

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best. Turns out he was telling me I was scheduled for 3 different interviews for 3 different teams in one day. Has anyone heard of a company doing that or gone through this for an interview? It seems odd to me

What’s the biggest issue you’ve faced with dating non-lawyers?

Been on a few dates with this guy and he literally keeps using the washroom every 10-15 mins!

He would leave to use the washroom like 3 times in one meal- has anyone else experienced this? I just feel so weird about it

Can I give notice by email? Or is it truly preferred to call the partners directly? What if they don’t pick up?

Joining Deloitte. I just submitted my documents to immigration. How long will it take to file my H1B case with USCIS? It’s wired big company like Deloitte is using third party law firm for H1B transfers.

I have 5 years of work experience with equal experience in Data Engineering and DevOps. Now I am thinking to focus on a particular area. Can someone suggest me which one will have more scope in future. I am equally interested in both.

Can anyone please suggest any affordable apartments in Abu Dubai or any real estate agents to help me hunt for apartments.

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration. Some of these matters are multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant cases, but none are class actions. This does not include any matters I am handling in the charge stage or in pre-litigation. Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?

What's the hiring process like for a littler case smart attorney? Is it easier to get a case smart position compared to an associate position? Not that I want to be an associate there, but just trying to see if I have a solid chance.

Give me the good, bad, and dirty on Littler. I'm in a major market.

Is there a way to practice L&E in the government realm? If so what’s a good way to find these positions? Thanks!

Any insight into Ogletree Atlanta?

Hi, looking for some general advice please. 4 years litigation experience, 2 years international commercial. Really interested in getting into l&e, but no idea where to start? Any particular courses, newsletters, groups, other? Thank you!

Honest answers only: what got you interested in this industry? Do you enjoy your work?

Making the switch from plaintiff to defense L&E in January. Would love any and all tips from people who’ve made the jump (including partners who may have supervised these types of attorneys!)

Recently received an offer from Ogletree to do only class action work. It'll be a big change for me, I'll be starting as a fourth year. Double my current salary, etc.

What will this be like? It's more of a niche, but lucrative, part of their practice, right? Will I really get good WLB like they claim? I have a nice 40 hour a week job right now, no billables.

How did you choose this area of law? How do you know when it's time to move to a different one?

I’m working at an insurance defense firm, trying to target my practice to L&E. I’m overworked and underpaid, but gaining valuable experience I hope to pivot toward an eventual in-house counsel position. I recently was offered an opportunity to lateral to a national firm for a significant pay increase (150% salary increase, much better benefits, hybrid WFH options). Problem-I would be shifting gears to Toxic Tort. I’m torn between my passion and the money. I’m a second year associate. WWYD?

How is everyone’s workload? I was insanely busy the last month but the past week or so has slowed significantly.

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?
