Is there a way to make sure landlords won't raise rent by a ridiculous amount after the 1 year lease?

Hi everyone! Received arrears in my first salary with Wipro. Any suggestions if it would be paid or when would it be paid?

My ECD constantly talks over me when I try to explain something. I can barely get a sentence out and it’s super annoying.

I need some thoughts on what to ask for a starting salary. My background is ten years in tech support, and currently Lead Graphic Designer for my department with about four years of graphic design behind that. I also just finished my master's degree in Human Computer Interaction design (and was among the top in my class). I thought $80k as an absolute minimum ask but considering my credentials and education I really don't want to undersell myself. I'd appreciate thoughts on the matter.

Client issue - I’m on one of my client’s supervisor’s “bad list.” Our firm requires updates every 60-90 days. Rarely miss sending reports on time, but some of the clients request updates every 20-30 days. I try to respond timely, but don’t always, often will just send a reply saying I will have this for you within 1 week or ASAP. Since October, one of the supervisors for this company will periodically email the head of our department (not cc’ing me) and say they are missing reports. (Cont.)

Have there been layoffs/rescinded job offers, etc. due to current situation? Please comment below. (My firm is larger, no layoffs ... yet).

The boutique I’m considering accepting an offer at has a partner to associate ration of 7:1 (7 partners for every 1 associate). Only one equity partner and a mix of more senior and more junior non equity. All partners are expected to bring in business but naturally more Junior have less clients and help out other partners on their cases.

What should I make of this structure? Is this bad for associates in terms of substantive work and workload? Should ideally the ratio be a bit more equal?

It’s really hard to be motivated today. I don’t know how I’ll be able to flip the switch back on in the new year.

Anyone have advice on how to graciously leave a very small law firm? I’m the only full time associate and feeling guilty about leaving. I have an in house offer that I’m extremely excited to take however and I want to give notice early so the transition won’t be too bad. I’m just nervous and hate that I have to have this convo. My current employer doesn’t know I was looking for a new job.

Studying for the October bar as a barred lawyer has been extra horrible. I can’t imagine how non barred exam takers feel. Anyone want to commiserate?

Giving notice this week…logistics require this to be done over a phone call. Will be the most recent of several associates who’ve given notice within the past 2 months (smaller firm). Any advice on how I can avoid/soften being the final nail in the proverbial coffin and/or straw that breaks the camel’s back and/or insert your preferred idiom here? Don’t need the pent up ire of these partners to rain down on me just because I’m last to leave…

Second year call and I’m in house counsel. My department is crazy busy working with external counsel to complete a huge transaction. I’m new to the company (about 1.5 months in) and new to the law. I’m trying my best and working hard. Received a good amount of encouragement about what I’m doing but honestly can’t help but feel like I’m drowning. This transaction is huge and our in house team is small. I’ve made couple small mistakes along the way because I don’t have the knowledge/history of

I’m an associate at a regional BigLaw firm in the Midwest. I’m in one of the smaller markets for my firm, and while salary is at the top of the local market, I do work for other higher-rate markets and bill BigLaw hours. My comp is roughly 20% of my annual billables, while comp for associates in larger markets is roughly 30% of annual billables. Am I getting screwed?

Anyone else really feeling the social isolation this weekend? It’s been almost a month since I saw another person (re-entering more stringent lockdowns where I am) and not being able to see family for the holidays is hitting hard. The break from work was much needed, but made me realize work is the most consistent contact I have with people (phone calls/chat messages during the day) and without it I somehow feel more alone. Fck this year!!!

1) What is your response when asked what makes you stand out as a candidate in a job interview?

2) how do you highlight other skills that may not otherwise look transferable on paper?

3) how do you combat what seems like “lack of experience” or being “too junior” for the role?
