All tax people, why is BofA & AT&T giving out $1k bonuses in response to the new tax bill? It doesn't become effective until 2018, which means people won't see the effects until APR 2019. Explain.

I’ve always wondered how are lawyers chosen to be recognized in magazines or online publications as “Best Lawyers”/“Rising Stars”? I’ve always assumed it’s a circle jerk of some sorts for Big Firms nominating each other, but I have no idea.

What’s a legit background check service provider to use? Please and thanks in advance

I recently started using virtual therapy via betterhelp. How do you all know if therapy sessions are effective or not?

Thoughts on potential business ideas or investment opportunities where I can live the life I deserve now and not in retirement? I’m always trying to think of potential business ideas and come up with nothing. As far as interests, it doesn’t matter what it is. As long as it makes money I’m interested.

Is there any openings for freshers in 2021,22???

Topic : Major IT companies revokes freshers offer letters!

Dear Mass recruiting companies, Now onwards please don't lecture only the employees in terms of ethics, moon lighting. Please look inwards and introspect yourself too.

Just few months back you hired freshers and now offer letter is revoked. This is a cycle, When there is excess demand, candidate do the same and when the demand subsides employers does it to candidate. So there is no point in crying when employees give it back to you!

Argued in court yesterday against a guy in a tan suit. Tan. Suit. I'm not kidding.

Any new prosecutors here? Would love to hear about your job and how you like it.

Curious about non-US attorneys: are you working the crazy hour weeks most of us in the US do? Or are your weeks closer to 40 hours? I hear a lot about the working hour caps, vacation requirements, etc in Europe/Canada. Curious if that flows into legal practice... or if it gets ignored. To clarify—I’m talking about BigLaw. I’m sure there are smaller firms with reasonable hours, the same exists in the US.

Was asked what my salary expectations were on an Interview and I blurted out a number that was only $5k higher than the offer they made me a few days later. Any advice on how I should negotiate?

How long to argue MSJ? Opposing counsel wants to request a half day which seems insane to me. Cross MSJs. I told him no matter how complicated these motions are judge is not going to want to listen to us for more than maybe an hour—even that seems too long.

What do you wish you would’ve known/ told your younger self when you started out in law?

I know it’s been said before but Jesus Christ the chip on south Florida litigator’s shoulders is something else.

I don’t know if I’ll ever get the courage to go back to a high pressure high paying job again but I do want to. I was so stressed out and miserable before. So I kind of took a break by taking it slow and got a different job. The plan was to recharge and go back. After a few mos, I’m missing the projects and sense of accomplishment, also the environment and people. I have the opportunity to go back to that sort of work again, but I don’t know

Is asking first year associates to hit 215 billable hours normal?!

Do people that bill 200+ hours a month just have literally no life???

Advice for senior associate laterals? I’m a 6th year (F) starting at a new firm Monday and wondering what advice people have.

Client issue - I’m on one of my client’s supervisor’s “bad list.” Our firm requires updates every 60-90 days. Rarely miss sending reports on time, but some of the clients request updates every 20-30 days. I try to respond timely, but don’t always, often will just send a reply saying I will have this for you within 1 week or ASAP. Since October, one of the supervisors for this company will periodically email the head of our department (not cc’ing me) and say they are missing reports. (Cont.)

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?

Anyone who work in municipal finance law practice have any thoughts on the practice and WLB in that field? Considering a practice switch because corporate/PE work is not only exhausting but I’m not feeling inspired anymore by what my work achieves in the world. As a liberal the idea of helping municipalities fund public projects seems intriguing—yes, proud blue state taxpayer here ideologically.

Is it reasonable to be expected to spend 20-30 non-billable hours a month checking your paralegal’s work? (i.e. summarizing hundreds of records and bills). The partner said he “didn’t use paralegals” at his previous firm and eating the time is an “investment in yourself.” Is this common?

Should an employment lawyer consider getting a PHR/SPHR certificate? Is it worthwhile?
