Flexibility to work autonomously. If I have something else to do during the day, don't worry about it, I'm still getting work done.

Agreed, flexing in my remote position is a bonus. Most manager monitor every click or want the work done by 4 or 5pm.

I care about feeling connected to my colleagues the way I would in the office. I care about not being forced to get up at 6 AM or stay until 9 PM for a meeting because I’m in a different time zone. I care about work life balance since some employers seem to think because you work at home you should be available for more hours of the day. Those are some things I can think of off the top of my head.

The same things I can do in the office, I can do from my home.

The biggest perk is the flexibility, but what I care about most from my employer is having clear, communicated expectations and to be included as a member of the team (with information, updates, etc) just as an in office employee.

Can you elaborate?

like

Clear, consistent, transparent communication with the entire team so we are all receiving the same message.

Core/stated working hours so we are all in/available at the same time for essential meetings on a cadence then able to work flexible outside of those times so we can respect everyone’s time.

Measurable feedback.
Meeting agendas.

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when you’re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases?

And can’t impose judgment one way or another either.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
