Does any other attorney POC feel like they have to live double lives? I’m guilty of trying to “blend in” with my white team members. I wish I could be myself (at least to an extent) and not fake it.

Any articles or books on maintaining a trusted client relationship? OR any pointers towards doing that?
One consistent feedback I receive is that I don't follow through on client relationship. I build tremendous trust and good will during an engagement, but I let the relationship die out once we wrap the work out. OR It is luke warm at best with a periodic email once in a while, unable to introduce people or grow the relationship.
Any help?

Do all these managers and partners actually like me, or are they just being extra nice because all the other seniors quit? 🤔🤔🤔

(This absolutely happened so please don’t report and ban me)
I recently gave my two week notice and will be joining a good firm.
While having drinks with my colleagues today one of them says “you’re not a citizen. Stop taking American jobs.” I am an immigrant yes, but I have a graduate degree from one of the target schools and have worked my a*$ off to be where I am. I laughed it off then but now I regret letting it go that easily.

How do you set boundaries if you’re salaried with no OT?! I told my boss that I’d only be online from 8-6p and he finds that he isn’t getting enough support. I lowkey feel like telling him he needs two EAs but I guess you can tell how cheap he is because no OT. Any advice? (Ps, I’m aggressively job hunting because this ain’t it)

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

How much do your personal beliefs influence your work, and in what ways? For example, if you were a Bernie Bro, would you ever represent Trump or a Trump-endorsed/affiliated person/entity, and vice versa? Do you think you have an obligation to turn down work for a client whose beliefs you personally find repulsive? Or do you think your obligation is to set aside your personal beliefs and act in your client’s best interest regardless of how distasteful you may find them to be?

People who brag about being exploited by their employers working 50-80 hours a week - why do you think it’s a cool flex? Isn’t it rather sad?

Could someone please suggest how to handle this situation?
My manager (Technology Director) sees me as an emerging thread to his position and stopped sharing details / trying to avoid including me in visible projects etc.,
FYI - His manager is the division head and Managing Director.
Why I think my manager tries to move me out?
- I am 18 YOE with a technically strong background
- Upper mgmt is starting to identify me as the backup for all systems. My manager tries to move me out since then

Does anyone have sound advice for dealing with nitpicking feedback from a skip-level manager? I'm all for constructive feedback but something tells me that this individual might be out for me. I've worked here for 5+ years, I'm good at what I do and I show interest in my work. The feedback I receive feels out of place.
Asking for a friend,

We're all supposed to pool our tips but I'm pretty sure the waiters are keeping most of the money for themselves. I already told the manager and she kinda blew me off. Anyone else been through this?

The next time that you are considering asking for points for smallest mistakes of HK, just think how you'd feel if your client reports your small mistakes to your partner and ask for discount

What's the appropriate interview attire for a business affairs interview?casual or suit?

Have a crush on a senior manager (who’s straight & married) 😢

Has anyone ever felt like some of the feedbacks you received is because you are Asian? Like i keep being told that I sound unsure, unconfident and not poised enough.. I've been told once that I didn't have enough presence on a call but.. I did the presentation so I talked 90% of the call..

"You're great, but just a little too much personality to work on this client." Welp... 👋

What do females/womxn wear as an intern/summer analyst at bulge brackets? in NYC specifically

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values. The owner states that the values are important to her etc yet my manager violates these values and is involved in unethical behavior frequently. Example 1: My manager has told specialists (resourcers) that she will pay them under the table in order for her (manager) to get full credit vs splitfor the placement and therefore (barely) hit her target for the quarter.

I'm a recent hire and have extreme anxiety about doing my current job. I'm wondering what my options are. I'm currently seeing a psychiatrist as a follow-up to a brief in patient stay I had before starting this job. However I haven't mentioned anxiety or job problems to her. If I go on leave, what kind of documentation or therapy is required? How long would I stay out? What would I tell my boss and teammates?

hiya! So I was wondering how I can get a remote job in without any tech or call service experience? I have 4-5 years of customer service experience and I’m taking an swe bootcamp at the moment any suggestions?

Have you experienced depression caused by working in really challenging workplace environments? I am worried this will carry into new roles.

After working a couple jobs that weren’t a good fit I’ve exhibited a lot of procrastination, hopelessness, self isolation, and just lack of care. I’m in therapy but also want to make sure I come into any new role with this in mind so I can do my best.

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your thoughts on EEO surveys during the job application process. Is it more beneficial to self-disclose or refrain from disclosing race, gender, disability, etc?

Who’s putting in hours today?

How's everyone doing? I was on social media today and reading about the Adam Toledo video and it took me back to last June, which on top of the pain from seeing this racist system continue to win out, June was my lowest billing month and hurt my confidence about hitting hours compared to my white peers.

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...

What area do you specialize in as an attorney and why did you choose it?

Today is the first day of the new work week! What are your goals for this week?

I know as attorneys of color, we often find ourselves being in a room with dozens of attorneys and still were the only attorney of color (I’m a brown woman, very often the only brown person AND only woman in the room). I’m starting to attend more client meetings and depositions, trials, etc. and I’m noticing it more and it’s starting to distract me bc I start overthinking it in the moment. How do y’all deal with that?

I made an introduction to our CEO that may lead to us acquiring a small company. Should I draft an origination fee agreement?

Did the post about "straight Asian men" get deleted? Left the room to make popcorn and returned to find it gone.

Can y’all define “ big law”? I do residential transactional closings for residential buy/sell, leases and business transactions. How do I get into “big law” with my related experience?

My firm is hiring an a mid level L&E associate in its SF office. Please dm me if interested.

How do you respond to someone whose response to the recent rise in anti AAPI hate/rhetoric is “I don’t know anyone who dislikes Asians”, “everyone is racist”, “racism isn’t evil, it’s ignorance and biology” in a way that’s neutral and educational?

I’m at the point where I don’t really care to engage but also don’t want to remain silent.

Do you feel like you can be your real/whole self at work? If not, what parts of you do you leave at the door? What would happen if you were your real self at work?
