Does anyone have any side hustles apart from their day-to-day? If so, what are some suggestions that work well while practicing law?

It all depends on how much free time you have. My wife and I started an LLC to use as a shell company for real estate purchases. Bought two condos (not all at once), cleaned them up on weekends, and rented them out for $1300 a month. Small time commitment as the condo association handles many issues itself. A little maintenance is required from time to time but that's all.

Assess your talents. You might have several options. Try writing a book, fiction or non, and selling that on Amazon. Market yourself as a freelance editor or blog writer. You've got any number of options, just depends on how obligated your time is in law practice.

Any advice on getting salvage bids for a damaged car? Insurance has given me a $400 bid but I'm not required to accept it. Damage to the bumper, both front fenders and hood, engine and rest of the car is fine. I had just put in a new Bosch alternator that cost me $380 🤦‍♀️

I am a 3rd year senior associate in alternative investment tax and up for manager promotion this year. I really dislike the long hours of this job and seeking to make a move. Although I’m not sure i necessarily want to stay in tax. I have a young toddler at home and want to find a job i like, makes decent money, and has decent hours so i can spend more time with family.

Has anyone been in a similar position and made a move? Can you please share your experience? Thanks!

Boss is gaslighting? Just experienced this for the first time - and would love to hear others’ experiences, too. For the past few years, my micromanager boss asked that I send them every draft of every contract to review, no matter how minor. In my performance review, when asked why I wasn’t promoted, they said that a reason was because I need to learn to stop sending them drafts to review! I said that I only did this because they asked for it, and they said they don’t remember saying that!

I work at a firm that is predominantly white. We live in an area that's predominantly Hispanic, but they don't speak Spanish. I do and I'm always used as a translator. It's very annoying because I don't even get brought it on the case. They only want me to translate or talk to witnesses and that's it. It takes me away from my real work. I'm considering removing that I am fluent in Spanish from my resume to not deal with this in the future. Anyone dealt with this before?

I’m the only black corporate associate at my firm (AM Law 200). It’s recently come to my attention that I’m getting paid the same as associates with far less experience, but still mentoring and leading on deals. Then they brought in more white associates making far more than I do, still less experience. Comp is a black box here, but I’ve managed to figure it out. Interviewing at other firms at this point. I don’t feel like asking these people to treat me fairly. Anyone else ever experience this?

I want to get box braids before I head back into the office in two weeks. My colleagues have never met me face to face as I was hired during the pandemic. Should I wait to get this hairstyle or do whatever I feel like doing? When I was in law school, a career counselor told me to never get braids as an associate.
