Best pizza delivery in Boston? I really like Picco. Upper Crust is trash. Regina is decent.

Any suggestions for a good gay bar that is more wine/cocktail centric (vs sidetrack or roscoes)?

Ladies who love food: let’s try out different cool restaurants together!

I’m on an estrogen patch and I feel like it’s making me really sad. Has this happened to anyone else?

I began a new position 2 months ago and took on a managerial position where I oversee a team and a week ago, my manager and I was discussing a delay that happened and how she gave my team feedback and suddenly she said to me that she doesn’t mind restructuring the team and make it a team where everyone reports to her. She also said that the only reason she is “allowing” me to lead is to gain management experience. I was shocked because I got hired as an experienced manager. What would you do?

Hi All,

Does jpmc has any internal program for gfbm team from which a CA fresher who joined recently can move to USA within 2 yrs of joining?

Please respond asap ,it's urgent

Thanks in advance.

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.

Im looking at new job opportunities out side of PA but struggle to confidently answer how much I’m looking to be paid. I’m so worried of over asking or leaving money in the table.
I’m in a SoCal HCOL and have been asking for 100k for Senior Internal Audit Roles (2 years) and working on my CiSa.
Is that too optimistic?

A NY agency is asking me to work on site come September, I said of course. My true intentions? Working remotely from Florida for life. How would y’all handle this issue when pandemic is over (if it that ever happens)?

I saw 2 posts earlier about the show "Ultimatum" on Netflix. Can't pass up trashy TV and started watching. Just finished episode 3 and loving it! Considering cancelling tonight's plans so that I can binge the rest of the season before bed.

Spoiler alert, stop reading if you care

Is this a good rating?. My manager said they won't give SSS to anyone unless they are a promotion candidate. Why do they have to reduce the rating just because of that?

Is this going to affect my hike, bonus?. This is my first review at the firm. Please help.

I know this is going to differ greatly but wanted to get an informal survey here of what the hours are like in product management. If you are a PM, can you state your level (early, mid, late in career) and average hours per week worked?

Had 2 hours of billable work today 💀

We consolidated two appeals stemming from the same trial court order re msj. The appellants filed separate briefs. Do I to file two App briefs or can I file one?

Does anyone have any insight into attorney salaries at the Hartford in NYC?

Serious question: I know I am an attorney but this so outside my area. I was rear ended about a year ago and I need to either settle with the insurance company or sue them. Could someone provide some guidance? I really really need some help with this

Calling all ID Associates: Do you expect a cost of living raise from one year to the next? My mid-size ID firm did not give any associate raises for 2021-2022 and a wave of associates quit in response. I’m anxious 2023 will be no different. What’s the expectation?

Any insight into the nyc Wilson Elser Office? Pay/culture for a 6th year

I am inquiring about a patient account coordinators salary. It seems I am asking way above average salary due to current position and experience I bring as well as education. Can someone give a number for this position and suggestions for negotiating pay to make what I’m worth.

Does anyone know which city offers the most remote/work from home/hybrid ID (or any form of litigation jobs)?

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there. Is it typical that work done by associates on contingency cases isn’t counted toward their billable hour requirements unless and until we receive our fee on the case? This is my first experience with this, but it’s hard for me to reach my hours as is, without spending time on non billable cases like this with no assurance that I’ll see billable credit at the end.

Curious thoughts: What would you say puts the most pressure on insurance companies to settle cases? Upcoming trial, risk of bad faith exposure, a bad witness, a screw up pre-suit, etc?

Does anyone know if an expert is required to prove Plaintiff’s economic damages (loss of earnings) in a personal injury suit in Texas?

I just started doing insurance defense 3 months ago. A few of my billing entries have been cut. I feel very bad. Does anybody have any tips for writing better time entries?

Does anyone know of a firm looking for a mid to senior level insurance recovery associate in the Cleveland/NY/DC triangle (including remote positions)? I'm considering a move.

What does your opposing counsel do that pushes you over the top and just makes you want to settle the case? (Plaintiff and defense answers welcome). Mine: requesting 15 depositions of people that will never be called at trial.

Feelings in general on Reminger and comp?
