I am considering applying there...but I am afraid of losing my work/life balance I currently have. Though I work 50 to 60 hours per week now and billable 1900 hours seems like it would be less or the same hours

Littler is a solid firm...what group

Yup

Littler would be an awesome job. Not sure what your background is but it’s all L&E. Very reasonable billables with like 150 of which can be “observation” hours (I believe), and very good pay. Lots of trainings and room for growth. If down the road you get tired of it you could very easily go in-house doing L&E / advising HR etc.

Damn. Would be nice to work for them habah

funny

What’s L&E?

Thank you.

Specifically doing what in L&E? Litigation, counseling, etc?
