Do any of you spend time on HNBA or other affinity organizations? If so, do you bill your time as non-billable, i.e. diversity? And how do you balance your time going to an events/getting involved?

How do you all respond when someone you work with asks gives you unsolicited organization advice/ says something like “do you not keep a to do list?” Lol I keep like 5 and 95% of the time I am so on top of things it’s crazy! Have one bad day/ couple days amd boom… my SM is asking if I keep a list…

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature. This is my third cycle and I’ve been pretty positive up until today. It’s especially hard to get this news in the middle of a work day. Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.

I’d like to start a luxury handbag resale business. Does anyone have experience with this and/or want to partner up?

Is associate and junior the same? If not, what's the difference?

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

Hey guys! I’ve been getting emails from Cisco every week to fill out a form to ask if I am still interested for security solutions spring internship. I’ve clicked Yes each time but I never get contacted for anything further. Should I be holding out hope for Cisco or should I move on? @cisco

Don't be fooled. Recruiters never have your best interest in mind. Find your own dream job.

For those who were CTL or left without a job lined up due to burn-out: how long did it take you to find a job?

Been in sales for 7 years (door to door,telecom,BDR,) I interviewed for a closing position and after submitting a demo presentation and 2 mock emails they have moved be forward for the last “wrap up call”. Any tips and advice for this?

Does this mean I’m being highly considered? Or are they just going along like many companies do. This is a Norway based Saas company.

Ordered a shroom grow kit and two kinds of spores. I've never taken them and always wanted to. Let's see if they do anything to rewire the brain like some people say!

Anyone willing to share what WLB looks like at some of the large CROs?

What’s the best way for me to have unlimited data/international calling when I travel to the EU this year? I usually just pay the $10/day Verizon charges me if I use my phone but data is capped or it slows down at some point if you go beyond a specific gigabyte.

Wondering what the comp is for SC’s & M’s at Canadian firms? All these American numbers are making me feel very underpaid...

I own a small growing real estate/corporate law firm in Chicago and looking for another associate. Tough sledding. Looking for someone 2-5 years out with commercial real estate experience. Maybe a big or medium firm associate looking for some work life balance and a different approach. Anyone know anyone?

What kind of pay does a finance lawyer for the city of Chicago make?

Any idea on what is the average salary for a 3rd year associate in a boutique law firm? (Litigation and arbitration)

Anyone in Chicago know how long the hold-up for Cook County background checks is? I know they are backed up so just hoping for an estimate.

I graduated from JMLS about 15 years ago. Been a long time since I had to update my resume, but now I do. Should I keep the name as-is or change it to UIC Law?

Does anyone else feel like Chicago has basically given up on masks? I try to take a walk every day to break up the wfh monotony and see masks on less than half of fellow pedestrians.

Anyone have any tips for switching from midsized to firm to big law in Chicago? Litigation, non equity partner that is going nowhere at my current firm. Doing insurance defense but have significant trial, deposition and discovery experience.

Has anyone recently had to go through a background check to lateral? Been waiting on Cook County to respond to the third party criminal record check for a few weeks and trying to gauge how much longer it will take 😩

Anyone have insights into Gould & Ratner? Saw some job postings on LinkedIn that looked interesting but don't know much about the firm.

I’m a business/commercial lawyer with 8 years experience looking to relocate to Chicago from NYC area, while also trying to make the jump to in-house after only ever working at a boutique firm. It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing). I can’t tell if this is due to covid, the market, the fact that I don’t have any in-house experience, the fact that I live out of state, or something else entirely. Any insights??

Hi Chicagoland!! Hope all are healthy. Any tips for navigating WFH long-term? Survived week 1 but now sure how much longer I can stay motivated...

Any word on how the increasing positivity rates are going to affect the court openings and trials in Cook County? I know that some civil trials were being conducted and there was talk about opening more courtrooms. But that was before the sudden spike in positive tests.

What is the benefit of working at the Cook County State's Attorneys Office other than the rapid trial experience one gains? I was a non traditional student - I do have a job lined up in private practice. Im not particularly fond of the practice area but its decent paying for entry level. I attended a networking event and met so many State's attorneys who seemed to enjoy the work bc of the experience they were gaining.

Sort of feel its a job more geared to folks who never worked in law before.

Have any of you started a PLLC for a solo practice? If so, what was the process for getting your firm to become a PLLC in Illinois. Did you file for an llc first then file a cert with the Supreme Court. PLLC filings for IL do not list attorneys as a professional group.
