First week back from maternity leave and I feel like literally no one wants to work with me. Maybe I’m just being paranoid but would be curious if anyone has had that experience in big law

Give it time to ramp back up. My first two weeks back after maternity leave I had almost nothing to do. Approx. 6 weeks in and I’m having to turn down projects because I’m at capacity.

Yes take advantage of finding a new work life balance while you’re not too busy, especially since it’s the end of the billable yr soon.

Just wander around and chat with people and mentally prepare yourself to not make your hours.

You might need to let people know you're available as they may not know your exact return date or schedule. Someone asked me if I came back part time or full time (I did not know part time was an option) and has been steadily offering me opportunities as they arise but it took over a week.

If you were busy before and had interest while you were out (people asking about your return date/sending stuff just in case you can look at it) trust that the work will come and enjoy easier days where yiu can maybe even leave early to be with your kid more!

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I've been working at this company for about 3.5 weeks now. Its been great so far.

We have an org chart in our dashboard ATS/HRIS and so I clicked on my first day buddies name just for fun.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?
