Has anyone considered reaching out to the ABA and various state bar offices (likely anonymously) to reign in some of the large firms/partners with record profits that are laying off associates. Rule 8.4(c) / dishonesty and misrepresentation comes to mind, particularly with associate hiring. Many of these associates were solid performers and some firms have admitted they simply “overhired”. The layoffs serve only to keep the partners more rich. There may be Rule 1.1/competency violations as well.

In the midwest, talking to a small agency. If I take a FT role and possibly move in a few months, wondering if they’d be open to me staying on remotely. Everything’s been remote for them for a while anyway and will likely continue to be. Any thoughts on how to approach this scenario? Want to do right, but don’t want to be overly precautious either.

I had my first interview today for a director position I would consider a dream role, and it went well. They want me to talk to the VP, but I found out I would definitely have to relocate to a different state to execute tasks.

The salary is within range of what I would accept, but I just moved to a different state.

I want to leverage this, and follow up with the hiring with another place (similar position in my current city and state) I haven’t heard from yet. Do you think that’s wise to do?
