Or law clerks...did a lot of blog and article writing for a big firm as a 2L

Yes we had this at our last firm. The articles weren’t very good so the first year associate would have to re-write/edit but it was a quick way to have a first draft done

I believe there is a whole industry that does it. I just don’t know but would doubt one should put her or his name on byline on an article if didn’t actually write it

Yeah totally

Absolutely.

Super common in almost every field.

My old boss just made me write for him while he put his name on everything. I guess I can do the same too in 40 years.

Yes. They’re called associates.

I should’ve been more clear: I did NOT mean just having associates write! I mean hiring someone external like a freelancer.

Agree. Look on linkedin. You will fond these peeps.

How's the job market lately? I'm considering quitting, moving there, then starting my search. Do you think it'd take more than a few months (say, 6 max) to land a good role?

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Currently awaiting an offer for a new sales role. Salary somewhere between 100-120, OTE 160-200 depending on base. I intend to ask about annual merit increases and what they have been previously, but was wondering if anyone had ever negotiated an annual increase based on inflation in addition to any performance based merit increases. Seems like a smart way to protect myself while times are so volatile and not get stuck with the typical 3% when inflation is 8+. Thoughts?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
