You realize you’re talking about a war, right? And you’re asking if that will help you get a raise?

War is happening regardless of our raise. I feel bad for everybody involved in this quagmire war of choice that Bibi and our GENIUS POTUS got us into. But while Lockheed makes billions, can I please have $10k extra?

"This Iran stuff." I hope you never benefit from thinking this about the suffering of others. I am sad and angry that you probably will, but do consider being a better human.

Why don’t you be a better human and donate all of your salary to the families of the US and Iranian casualties? Otherwise, please sit this one out. Thanks.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?
