Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at my firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

After doing freelance for the last two years, I’ve decided to go back to the corporate world. I’ve been applying a ton of places but keep getting turned down immediately - not even a first interview and I can’t figure out why.

I have 7 years experience. Are people looking for someone w/ less experience/cheaper?

Hi Folks , ey hire for technical domain and then assign non technical projects. Does it happens with everyone or some people ?

And is there any way to shorten the 3 months notice period in ey ?

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.

How does project allocation happens for lateral joiners? Is it forced upon or do we get a choice to choose or apply for a project? Accenture

There’s been some posts on the best planning tools (e.g. planners, calendars, etc.), but my question is how do ppl make sure they use them? I get them and am excited about the possibility of them helping for about a week then I just stop using it. Even if I find it helpful I just never stay consistent with it. Does this happen to others? Any tricks or suggestions to stay consistent using planners, to do lists, calendars, etc.

I am open to all sizes so long as the firm is highly rated and reputable.

i studied business law with a focus on international corporate law and have been working in bankruptcy law for two years now. During my studies I worked in the entertainment industry for five years as an organizer for various festivals in the country and realized that i simply enjoy this industry the most.

Hey yall, considering a switch from my gov litigation job to an entertainment boutique. I know opportunities to retool into entertainment postgrad are rare. However, the boutique only has 2 attorneys right now. Is that a red flag or pretty standard in the industry?
