How do you get better at Project Management?

I recently became PMP certified and am working as a Project Coordinator on a large ERP project. I’ve been in the position for 2 months, enjoy the work, and would like more responsibility and work from home. The director made an inappropriate (sexual) comment; it was so inappropriate that I don’t want to work with the company and am looking for a new opportunity. I would like to get into IT, but I don’t have a speciality. What are tech companies looking for in a Project/Product Manager?

Top tech companies: You don't know our stack? That's OK, we just want to hire the best engineers. We know you can learn the rest.

Mediocre companies and their recruiters: What? You don't have (3, 5, 10!) years of experience in our stack? Pass. You know statically typed languages, OOP, JavaScript, learned TypeScript, but you haven't used TS on a project? Pass. LOL 🤡

The best is when they ask for X years experience on a technology that hasn't existed that long.

Opposing Counsel refuses to acknowledge me in any emails, doesn’t answer my phone calls, and does not include my name on the signature line on any documents even though I am the handling attorney on this file. He only includes my supervising attorney and only responds to her. It’s so frustrating. Why are ppl like this?? What can I do? Should I continue to be annoying and email/call him?

I did an initial interview with a firm Thursday morning. They asked for references and I provided them the following day along with my thank you note. In past experiences, I would have heard something by now unless they were not interested at all. Am I wrong to just write this one off?

Hi Fishes,
I have recently joined Axis corporate office virtually on 29th March 2022. I have keen interest and hence wanted to pursue Data Science and ML journey because im more or a technical guy.

How long did it take you to adjust to your 1st in-house role? I started my first in-house role a few months ago. This job is exactly in-line with my law firm experience….but every time I join a call I feel like everyone is speaking a different language. There are just so many acronyms, company lingo terms I’m not familiar with & company-specific processes. I’m just wondering when everything will start to “click”….because right now I’m super overwhelmed.

Does anyone have a recommendation for some good privacy resources?

6th year biglaw associate in HOU. Long considered a move in-house but overwhelmed on where to start. Any recommendations on TX recruiters specializing in-house? Also planning to check LinkedIn and other resources. Welcome advice on searching generally, resume (haven’t touched since LS), etc. Interested in HOU and DAL (though not trad energy) and my practice is roughly split between M&A/PE transactions and capital markets (SPACs, trad IPOs, HY, Section 13/16 reporting, etc.). Thanks in advance.

I started my first in-house role about 4 months ago and I don’t think it’s the right fit. I love the no billable hours aspect, but otherwise I miss the structure of being at a firm. How long do you think I should try to stick this out before I move on? I want to give the job a real shot - and i know the transition to in-house can be jarring…but I also don’t want to spend too much time in a job that is a wrong fit.

Where on the totem pole does the legal department fall in your organization?

Advice please - I’m happy with my pay, work life balance, and feel the job is secure. But I’m micromanaged hard and can’t seem to care. Has anyone ever gotten out of a rut like that? I’m worried about moving somewhere else and losing the positives of this job.

When an in-house recruiter at another company cold-emails you, is it fair to ask them for the rough offer range in your initial response back (to avoid wasting everyone’s time)? Or do you owe them the courtesy of taking at least a screening phone call and asking then?

From the position of those that have already made the in-house switch, would love some gut reactions/checks to my situation.

Class of 2020, started at a V80 in a regulatory practice last January. Recently lateraled to a V30 this past summer (have only been at new firm 3-4 months). Already know I don’t want to do the big law thing long term, and would really love to move in-house.

My question: how soon is too soon, and will making another switch in-house within the next year look bad?

I have accepted an offer at another company and because I have some equity vesting at the end of February, I’m delaying my departure. Is 3/4 weeks notice too much or should I just wait to give standard. I would have wanted to give more notice even if the award vest wasn’t a concern but don’t want to jeopardize that.

My company (a renewable energy developer) is being acquired by a much larger energy company in a platform deal. I'm currently part of a 3 person legal team, with each attorney supporting different parts of the business, and having different areas of expertise. Anyone have any insight into the impact/fallout of these types of deals on the acquired company's legal department? I'm being told everything will be the same (but with better benefits), but who knows!

What does "unlimited" PTO really mean? Accepted an in-house position. What's an acceptable amount of vacation time to take per year? (I'm coming from private practice where I could take vacation whenever I wanted as long as I hit my billables). Generally, I take two 1.5 week vacations a year and a smattering of long weekends (like a Friday or Monday off here and there). Obviously will not take that much time in the first year of a new job, but hope to get back to it. Reasonable?

Does anyone have any insight on base compensation for in house counsel at Deloitte? Trying to informally figure out whether an applicant’s reported income is within Deloitte’s range or if the applicant is just over inflating current salary in attempts to get a better offer. Thanks.
