My Shareholder came into my office yesterday and proceeded to tell me that "we" were getting sloppy & "we" needed to get our billable up and that she had missed things. She made a point to say hers were low & she never gave me info regarding billable time. Our biggest client cuts half our time.
During the interview they never mentioned there were billable req.

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

I accidentally offered too low of a range when I was offered a new position and of course the formal job offer came back at the low number. As soon as it came out of my mouth I regretted it but here we are now. Do I have any chance to negotiate or will I look like a jerk because I gave the number in the first place? If so, what should I say?

Question: Would you work somewhere lame in-house if they offered great money & stock options that enabled you to do good work on the side? Or would you keep freelancing & searching for the perfect fit

I need help! Design is my passion but I didn’t go to school for it. I have my cosmetology license and graduated with a BA in Psychology and a BS in Early Education. I changed my path several times. I currently work as an administrative assistant and social media content creator for a small bookkeeping business. I only truly know how to use Canva, but I prefer Canva. How do I pivot? Are there good ways to gain experience so I might be hired for side gigs in the future?

NYC Freelancers! My Medicaid is ending soon and I need to start making health insurance decisions (lame). My current agency is offering me FT and I’m pretty terrified as I feel like I’m going to sell away my freedom. Their health insurance is pretty good and allows me to put my partner on it. I’m trying to also rationalize paying for my own in NYC but it’s so expensive ($500+/mo). I go to the doctor fairly often. Single NYC freelancers (no kids), what do you pay monthly or yearly? Worth it?

I know watches are a luxury purchase but how do you fellows think of annual income to watch price ratio. Or some other metric. Like I struggle to understand how much $ is me rewarding and spoiling myself versus being financial irresponsible and a poor decision.

I have started interviewing for new roles and noticed that mid - sized companies don’t have any standards for interviews . They have their own version of what a DE should do and come having this old background of data warehousing and if someone hasn’t built one or read from multiple sources then they are not a DE .

DEs also build data pipelines and features and platforms that directly feed data into the model.They don’t always build a data warehouse .

Anyone with an opinion on DGD. Very unspoken of coin I find with potential BIG impact.

How are NFTs different from crypto kitties? I see all these videos hyping up NFTs but I just view those as digital images, like I really can’t see the value. Can someone explain?

Should I do it or politely tell them to pound sand? Small team went way over budget on a thing, i did 90% of the work. Partner is asking me to move some billable time to a non-billable number to “act like a partner” and show I’m willing to share in the hurt. They claim this will help me with partnership later because acting like a partner is one of the most important factors. This would turn an ok june into a bad june for me in terms of hours. I’m up for partnership next year. 👍🏻 or 👎🏻?

looking to start a family. Prob 1-2 kids in the next 5 years - should I wait till I leave big law? I'm nervous about what time is crucial to be around the newborns. Adoption if relevant. Any advice?

Is anyone else worried about screen time or strict about it? I'm a bit torn about it and curious of everyone else's thoughts.

Last night my 9yo said, “wow mom, Idina Menzel is 48 but she looks way younger than you!” (I am 38.) Then I put makeup on this morning and she said, “well, you look nice but you still look worn out...

My marriage is struggling and we have to pack up the kids and fake it till we make it with my in laws for most of their Christmas break. I don't want a divorce but things are not good, and it's hard to pretend they are even in front of the kids. Looking for advice I guess, or just a kind word. Really don't want the in-laws finding out and trying to put their two cents in, and neither does she.

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate. Anyone else done a similar analysis?

For those who are married to a working professional and have young children, what do you do to keep your marriage strong? (Cont below)

About to start a solo jury trial and SO and both kids (7, 3) have the flu. Not the first time this has happened. Feel like the gods are telling me to get out of lit, but I can't write memos the rest of my life. Ugh!

My wife and I are planning on having kids soon. I’m building a new practice at a new firm. Any advice on juggling both and setting up boundaries? Do I take a week/weeks off when baby is born and just recognize probably no bonus this year? (Salary is good, I’m not desperate for money.)

Is anyone willing to share if your firm offers egg freezing without a fertility diagnosis as a benefit? We are trying to expand our benefits and would love to be able to say that others in the industry are already doing this. Thanks!

My wife and I are both terrible housekeepers and our clutter is overwhelming us. We have two kids under 3 and a wonderful nanny but we need more help at home. How do we throw money at this problem? Where do we start to get ongoing professional help decluttering, organizing, cleaning, etc.? What has worked for you?

Insurance Defense Associate new to group. Just finished first year on the defense side after 6 years on the Plaintiff side, joined 3 weeks before lockdown. WFH with 6 and 2 year old. While billing 2k in a year with kids at home all day is nuts, you will not get better balance in a small pltff firm. Small firm partners are allergic to WFH, and can't afford to be flexible with when an associate gets to their work. The support of a larger firm is what has kept me alive this past year.

What are we supposed to do with our kids during Winter break when school is closed for TWO WEEKS and we need to hit our billables?

Anybody get divorced as a young-ish associate with little kids? I think I'm on that path and really struggling

Going back to work next month. Have a full time nanny but feel like even that isnt enough. I work all sorts of timezones. Europe has my morning, Asia has my evening. Nanny 9-5? 7-3? 10-6? No clue what will work best and don’t want to be inconsistent with her. Any advice on the return?

Do you pay out of pocket on insurance premiums at your firm? My wife may leave her job to stay home and we’re on her insurance. My firm told me we’re $750/pay period or $18k/yr. that sounds absurd.

Does anyone manage without having a nanny? Kids age 0-10

If you could go back and start over would you still choose this path? Or would you choose a different career and/or a different time to have children? I accidentally became a working parent in law so while I love my job and my children I don't think I would have planned it quite like this.

Should I stay or should I go? Hoping to get some insight from those that went before me. I am a 6th year call working at a top20 firm in private M&A. Two kids and am in the position (continued below)

How many Big Law partners sacrificed their marriage to become partner, and, if you didn’t, how did you pull it off. Almost every partner I have ever worked for has been divorced at least once....
