Do people use work laptops for personal stuff? Can an employer track what you do if you browse social media and the web? I don't have a work laptop but I've always been curious when companies give out laptops for people WFH.

The only moderately personal thing I do on my work computer is LinkedIn and looking up restaurants. Probably over cautious on my part, but I would hate it if some tech guy was going through my personal emails bc it was logged in on my work computer 😅

Yes, use firm laptop for anything I would use my personal laptop for - no-one has ever convinced me there was an issue there (assuming you’re not doing anything unlawful). Stop worrying.

Yes, that is why eBay has gone bust… I’m sorry not to have included an exhaustive list of the websites you specifically use on a daily basis (but are terrified of your employer finding out).

What’s going to happen to your personal banking on a non personal [BigLaw] network, remind me?

Read your acceptable use policy. Typically yes, they have the ability to track or look if they want. The AUP you signed should have that info

Yes they can track it

Hi All,

I think we all know that it's a hot market right now and I'm not actively looking but I take a recruiter call here and there. I'd love to share my experience and background and the salary ranges I have seen the last month or so. I have not gotten to an offer but I might be getting close.

My background: 6 years as a CSM, multiple unicorn startups prior to where I am now. I'm based in the Midwest and fully remote.

I have been asking for a $140k-$150k base + 20% and equity. Thoughts?

Out of curiosity, how do firms treat tattoos and piercings? I have five tattoos and it’s never been an issue (they’re small and I can cover most up), but I’m at a mid-size firm in a small Canadian city and was surprised to meet a fairly senior associate from a national firm with a nose ring, and we recently hired a lawyer with a sleeve (which he also mostly covers). Is it a regional thing? I always figured I’d have to cover up but on the odd occasion mine have been noticed it’s been positive!
