LinkedIn is the biggest misnomer there is. You are neither truly "Linked" and you are definitely not "In." It's office Facebook.

Yes actually a couple times for freelance, it’s def harder the last two years though but I’m highly aware I’m pretty lucky with the connections and jobs I’ve booked through LinkedIn

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there. Is it typical that work done by associates on contingency cases isn’t counted toward their billable hour requirements unless and until we receive our fee on the case? This is my first experience with this, but it’s hard for me to reach my hours as is, without spending time on non billable cases like this with no assurance that I’ll see billable credit at the end.

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD.

In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve
