OP: Your comments are extremely confused and confusing. If your company email is not working, perhaps you should call the IT department? Have you tried other ways of contacting the people you work for?

Huh?

No, does this even happen?

Something about this is very off. Sounds like OP is on some sort of leave of absence and we aren’t getting the full story. OP - hope you called your HR person today.

As someone who is interested in public interest law (open to impact litigation or policy work), does it make sense to clerk in state court -- trial level -- and if so, for how long? Are these clerkships only useful for becoming a state court judge down the line or can they open doors to other paths?

1st year/stub in Texas. I was a summer at my firm in both 2019-2020. Thought I preferred litigation, and told the firm that last summer. Had a change of heart, and in April of this year asked the CTO to switch to transactional. However, she said they didn’t have a need for another junior in transactional. Now I’m in lit and hate it. Can I ask to switch again? When would be the best time to do so? Or should/can I lateral as a 1st yr? I like my firm, just don’t want to start my career like this

Can someone give me insight on completing projects for interviews? I’ve interviewed for a very associate level role that pays ~65k.

I’ve done assessments before for interviews but this seems a little excessive based on the role (eCommerce specialist) and pay range. Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Anyone else required to put together completely unrealistic timelines?

Upper management's direction is to put together the most aggressive deadlines we can. If we think a project will take 16 months, make the plan for 10 months then there's a chance we may launch in 13 months.

I understand that time to market is important in consumer product goods, but being constantly behind schedule and rushing everything is terrible for the team's morale.

I find the Super Bowl to be a depressing day for advertising. It’s the one day the country is focused on the creativity of what we do, and we deliver mostly bombast: lame cgi animals singing, celebrities cashing checks, and overstuffed, incoherent vfx laden extravaganzas. I blame clients for their misguided and cliche equating of “scale” with “Super Bowl worthy”.

I got some pretty direct feedback today. I’m extremely passionate about my job and sometimes that can translate into a lot of frustration. I struggle with anger if someone doesn’t see things the way I do (can get so convinced I’m right). People also say my feedback giving is too direct. I also get overly frustrated when people make mistakes. It’s just all a bit too much for people. That said I don’t want to lose that passion and confidence. Anybody struggle with this?
