I’d say. If your senior walks through a work paper with you, make sure you take notes. I absolutely hate it when I need to give the same instructions repeatedly on the same thing (clarification is fine).

Judging by posts here, a staff one mistake would be doing audit.

Asurrance Associate OP: one track mindset meaning that sometimes more than solution can solve a problem. to answer your second question it varies; some staff are more seasoned due to their background and life experiences. an example of being thorough can involve identifying a gap and providing a plausible solution instead of just following a method without looking further.

@senior consultant 1: what do you mean “one track mindset?” Also, when do you expect a staff one to be adequately thorough? Right from the jump?

Not completing a thorough review

@senior accountant 1: what do you mean not completing a thorough review?

Until when is “common staff 1 mistakes” acceptable? Or is it never “acceptable”?

Common mistakes are acceptable throughout the first year I think. We start having more expectations after your first busy season.

Agreed...I expect Staff 1’s to make mistakes, they are brand new. The whole year is a learning process.

Being too task oriented and not applying knowledge to subsequent engagements.

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
