I have a degree in Finance and somehow ended up in Data Analytics lol

Unless you have an Ivy League degree, your education is a trade off. You would be surprised the people I know without degrees that have promoted up to levels where I report to them. I have my MA and BA in Economics. I came to work for a large retailer in 2016 as an analyst. I promoted 4 pay bands in 5 years to a Director level and doubled my salary. My husband has no degree and started 12 years ago as an hourly in a store. He was a Director before me. If you want a job, start low and work up.

The other would mean taking a year off work and pursuing the LL. M, Thanks for help

Hi all,
I had a video screening interview earlier last week, got an email back couple days later and this is what the email says ( referred to screenshot below).
I replied with a date and time which is today at 1:30pm- I still didn’t get a response. Needless to say I emailed them this morning to remind them.
What to make if this ?

I have one pro bono case that I kept when I left my firm to go in house. It’s a matter completely unrelated to my company and I have malpractice insurance through the nonprofit organization associated with the case. I’ve made clear to my client that I’m repping this client in my personal capacity. No one has asked me specifically about pro bono stuff at my company - if I know there’s no conflict of interest, is this something I should disclose? To whom should I disclose this?
