Having just had a toddler party I ordered way too much food. Parents won’t eat and kids eat a little as they want to play and eat cake. Order boneless chicken wings or chicken tenders, fruit tray and veggie tray and be done with it. We had total of 25 people. Hope that helps

Thanks ! Wish people would rsvp like good old days 🤔

Completely agree. I follow up with those I haven’t heard from because I find it so rude and don’t want to overpay. Most people honestly just forget

Could go either way 🤷🏻‍♀️

The kids won’t eat much. I always planned on more fruit than I thought I’d need (that always seems to disappear), non-perishable snacks that my kiddo loved (which meant she would eat whatever was left for her snacks), and cupcakes- enough for each kid (including the non-rsvp-ers). And beer & wine for the parents. 😉

I generally consider a non-response a “no.” But definitely send a rsvp reminder out a week or so before because people legitimately forget (I know I often forget to rsvp early myself!)

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find. I now practice commercial lit but would welcome the opportunity to eventually transition into tax controversy (which I wasn’t able to do before). Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere. I should add that salary bands are kept secret and I have no clue what the range for my position is. There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
