Going in-house early on in your career - pros and cons?

Asking for two of my friends. Age around 22. 1 has done B.Sc in Nursing. And the other has done B.Sc in Agriculture. Both have become hopeless into their respective fields after looking for job and not being able to fetch any better. They want to switch to IT. My question is can they do this if acquired sufficient skills! I mean irrespective of their background, will a company hire them as a intern or fresher? If it's possible, then kindly suggest. TIA. 🙏🏻

So, I’m really interested in making the switch from PM to production. Any tips? I love my job but the parts I love most are the shoots and all of those moving pieces. All advice welcome!

I am month 5 in a brand management role at a CPG company and I feel so overwhelmed with the steep learning curve. I am not an Excel guru and I gravitate towards creative/comms more than business analysis. I am not very passionate to learn about forecasting, volume etc either. I love the brand comms side and enjoy learning how to lead cross-functionals but I find the analytics/financials challenging and boring. Not sure if I am cut out to be a CPG marketer... Any advice?

Is there an expectation of a certain number of delivery requests being sent to an Uber Eats driver? Could there be a breach of contract if one driver notices others constantly being sent delivery requests by Uber but he waits 4 hours at a time without being sent a single delivery request? Is there any claim this person can bring? It has affected them financially. Initially, this was not the case but over time, the requests have significantly decreased.

I’m struggling. I was previously working at a regional firm that’s well regarded in my state. I was busy but I liked the people and there was mutual trust. The partner I worked with a lot moved to an AM 100 law firm and asked me to go with her. I said yes, even though I was generally happy where we were working. I’ve been at this new firm 6 months and I’m miserable. We’re all overworked, I think I’m burned out (making silly mistakes), & the pay is not that much higher. Not sure what to do.

Is it reasonable to be expected to spend 20-30 non-billable hours a month checking your paralegal’s work? (i.e. summarizing hundreds of records and bills). The partner said he “didn’t use paralegals” at his previous firm and eating the time is an “investment in yourself.” Is this common?

Advice for young attorneys dealing with non-billable workload? I’m still my first two months at my firm but a ton of the work I’m being assigned is non-billable.
