Ex-litigators who went in-house as generalists/transactional - do you miss litigation? I’m a NEP at a commercial lit boutique, heavy responsibility and client management, and near-Cravath comp for 1800 hours. I enjoy the chess-match nature of litigation and the adrenaline of court, but I’ve always been a person who loved harmony and disliked conflict. I’m interviewing to go in-house as a generalist bc it might be better for my mental health, but worried about getting bored. Thanks!

Trying to decide on the HDHP Health Insurance. Basic vs. Premium. Benefits says the two are equivalent in coverage except three differences - deductible $3K premium vs $3.5k basic, no monthly payment for basic and no $2K company contribution for basic HDHP. What am I missing here. Why would t one not go for basic as you are ahead by about $1K. Any explanations or thoughts?

Hey guys.. can someone help me with the salary bracket for Manager at EY tech consulting ? Position is in the US

Can I ask for a slight increase ($5K) in salary if I already signed an offer letter? Their highest threshold was $5K more than what the offer was. If so, how do I go about it?

I have a client who just can’t get over the fact that I don’t drink. We were recently out to dinner so I sneaked and got a mock tail just so he’d leave me alone. That was annoying

Hi, I’m interviewing for Laboratory supervisor positions at ARUP in the Salt Lake City, UT area. I have less than 2 years supervisor experience and I would like to negotiate if I get any offers. What are other people experiences/ salaries in same positions? Thanks!

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Hi! I'm looking for a remote health and wellness position if anyone knows of companies hiring. I have experience with employee wellness, health coaching, and public health. I recently completed a master's in exercise physiology from Columbia University. Thanks!

Looking for a solid, not overly complicated proofing platform that internal creative reviews and also client reviews can be executed in. ProoHQ is to robust for our current needs. Pastel is great for web but need it for pdf/brochures, print, digital banners/content, and video would be a plus. Any recos are greatly appreciated!

For Series C companies, more normal to get more base or more RSUs? Assume equity is the more attractive form of comp if you believe in the company and vice versa.

How important is a master's degree for your career? Can you have longevity and thrive in the tech world with just a bachelor's? Asking this because I've been preparing for CAT this year and I feel like my preparation is only good enough to get me around 90-95 %ile which is not enough to get a call from the top IIMs. I've been preparing alongside my job and its been a tough 3 months. Should I spend another year preparing and appear for CAT 2023 or should I give up and prepare for interviews?

Any other PharmDs having trouble breaking into industry?
I’ve had 4 or so sales interviews and I just can’t close on the interview. Also looking into marketing and market access roles too. I had a market access interview last week at Sanofi but they did mention they’re interviewing others…
Any tips? Advice?

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

Kind of a new distance runner here (completed my first half mara last month) and am usually run on treadmill for workouts during the week. I also wear an Apple Watch. Have noticed that my Apple Watch tends to say I’ve run a longer distance, at a faster speed, than treadmill. (It’s usually up to 0.5 miles off and 0.5mph off in speed). Anyone experience this? Not sure what to trust but assuming Apple Watch. Thoughts?

Anyone know of a good directory of high quality, design-focused printers (in the US)? Seems most agencies/designers don’t shout out their print vendor in the credits.
Used to use FPO’s blog to find good printers - but it’s been a minute since I’ve done any premium print work.
Specifically looking for printers specializing in packaging. THANK YOU 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Spending 48 hours in Belgium this summer. Do you recommend Brussels or Antwerp?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Hi all! I’m looking to learn how to conduct AB tests- I don’t get an opportunity in my current role, but I want to be a product manager so I’ll need to learn. Any tips on how to practice this skill?

What would you consider the “it” company of today in tech from an employee perspective (in terms of culture, growth, pay, etc) and what companies should be avoided?

Do you ever get disheartened by all the content you're pushing out, only to get a few people to engage with it?

I like my job and live in a cool apartment in a cool city. I travel a lot, I have lots of savings, and I can afford virtually anything I want. I set and meet small goals (ex. run a 10k) regularly...

Are any of you sleeping all the time? Like all the time? I wake up, get some coffee and then I have no idea what to do from there. I have no reason to be awake.

Anyone here have severe lower back pain due to depression or other mental stressors?
Had many X-rays, MRIs, etc and they find anything.
A specialist told me it’s most likely psychological.
How do you manage?

I think I’m depressed.

Jen Psaki is legitimately bad at her job

I’m considering taking an internal consultant role at a large healthcare company. I’m unsure if healthcare is the industry I want to be in. Would I be pigeonholing myself into that industry?

Do anyone know any legal admins or paralegals looking for contract/part-time work in California?

What do partners generally expect from third-year litigation associates (smaller firm) as far as legal, professional, and/or case management skills go?
I still feel like I can’t (or don’t know how to) manage or push cases forward and like I’m constantly behind on everything—is this normal?

I have a second interview tomorrow. I already spoke with the partners and now I’ll be speaking with some associates. Any tips on what I should discuss and what questions should I ask?

Can you share first year salary for midsize firms? I'm in NJ, but curious to hear other markets. Also billable targets? Thanks!

How do you properly vet a law firm? I feel the associates I speak with talk up the firm and aren’t always candid.

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Does anyone practice White Collar criminal defense in NYC or know a decent amount about it? Is it fun or fulfilling? Is it a good way to break into government work in the future?

Thinking about applying as a lateral to Quinn Emmanuel LA. Thoughts on hours, etc.?

I’m junior to two Legal Counsel (I work in-house) who are passive aggressive towards each other. They don’t attend each other’s meetings and leave each other out of email CC’s. It’s pretty clear this is done on purpose as one of them has bitched to me about the other.

What would you do in this situation?

I don’t want to make partner, and I want to stay in big law for 2-3 years, do you suggest I just do the bare minimum for hours or should I still be doing as much work as possible?

What is everyone’s: (1) billable hours this year; (2) practice group; (3) year; and (4) size of law firm?

Any thoughts on Legility vs. Relativity in terms of eDiscovery software? Or is there another I’m not aware of?

Confused why Wachtell qualifies as BigLaw when they have one (small) office

Well I learned my lesson. Never work with Wells Fargo. Any good banks I should switch to?

Those who are voluntarily returning to the office — how often are you going and what days seem to work for you? Looking to slowly incorporate a few days here and there for change of scenery etc. — will add there is no pressure to do so (yet).

Orally accepted a job offer that I’m excited about, but have another interview this week for a different job. I didn’t realize the first offer would come so quickly! Should I cancel the interview this week or go through with it? Small legal community- people talk.

I want to get out of ID so badly. I don’t mind the work but the hours are just killing me. I just started at a new firm less than 6 months ago and I am already desperate to get out. It is not the firm or the people. I just hate the high billables. I have been applying to other jobs but I think I may need a recruiter for help. Any recommendation for a great recruiter in NYC?

What is the scoop on med mal defense vs. plaintiff work? Is defense more respected by other practice areas if I were to switch somewhere else later?

I applied to a position that brands itself as civil litigation and apparently the role is med mal defense. Not sure what to go by but would like to do a little research before I call them back.

I feel like I’m wasting my time waiting on CA bar results 😭, any tips on how I can use this time effectively?

I’ve always wondered how are lawyers chosen to be recognized in magazines or online publications as “Best Lawyers”/“Rising Stars”? I’ve always assumed it’s a circle jerk of some sorts for Big Firms nominating each other, but I have no idea.
