Help: I was briefly talking to an older male attorney over the summer. He reached out today re availability to hang out. I replied none and explained we had a death in the family. He became irate so I asked him to leave me alone. He responded in part “I'm a seasoned trial lawyer and, you ought to be cautioned against never making enemies in THIS field of ours. It will come back to haunt you. Have a shi**y life...”

Help! When would you disclose a pregnancy during the interview process?

Hi all, I was recently contacted by a headhunter for an incredible opportunity at a great startup.

I've always wanted to work for a startup and the product is awesome. I have made it to the last round. I am also 7 months pregnant (visible) and the last interview will be in person at their headquarters.

Should I say something before coming into the office for the last interview?

Worked in Financial Services and Wealth Management for 12 years. CFP working in the banking channel and completing my MBA within a few months with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. Really can’t take the stress and compliance involved with being an Advisor anymore I’m losing hair everyday. Any suggestions where to go?

Any Recruiters out there looking for a HR Manager who actually has experience using HRIS and loves the technology side? I don't have a background in it, but I've had 8 years experience in HR and Payroll processing and know the HRIS we use better than 90% of the staff I call for support. I usually tell them how to do their job. It's just something I'm really passionate about. I think it's important to understand user perspective.

Anyone have trouble with large friend groups? I have one group of friends that I hang out with that I know from my childhood. As I get older, I realize that many of the people in the group have not grown (may be to do with the fact that they didn't leave home for school) and tend to stick with their childish ways. I find it difficult because I have adopted a mentality to only keep people that bring me positive emotions within my circle.

In addition to Herman Cain, the founder of Turning Point USA died of coronavirus this week. Every life lost matters, but hopefully theirs can matter more by helping people that still see this as a political issue realize it isn't.

First time I’ve seen Amtrak delayed significantly in my weekly travel! 7pm Acela to NYC delayed by 1.5hrs😮

What are peoples thoughts(pros & cons) of living in a Garden Condo 2500 sq ft(with basement) for a family of 3(1kid) until the kid goes to college.

Or is it better to move to a single family home to give kid more space, big backyard etc. ?

Is it worth becoming an LLC, specifically in the LA market? And how would you go about letting agencies know you have one? These recruiter rates are killing me 😑

Interviewing for a Senior Analyst role in data science & analytics in Detroit. Any idea what salary I should be asking for? Don’t want to sell myself short, but having trouble finding market value. Thanks.

Frankly, criminal charges should be filed for what happened in South Africa.

A government ban is insufficient - all senior leaders and partners should all be held accountable.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is happening in more countries. Companies should actively take action by removing those parasites from their organizations.

Hi Fishes,

Any Referrals most welcome 🙏🙏

I am responsible for a good share of my agency’s most successful campaigns. Although they acknowledge it, I’ve been waiting for a promotion for almost a year...*cont*

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?

Speedmaster 🐠 should I go Speedy Pro Hesalite or the FOIS? What did you choose and why?

anyone here with Salesforce and do product willing to chat?

Any Accenture 🐠 able to provide a referral for Consultant role in Payer practice in HP&S? Happy to connect and talk about background more. Thanks.

Is there a way I (not a US citizen) could help my sibling get a loan (for education and monthly expenses) here? (amount is less than 40k)

Does anyone have any recommendations for career counselors/coaches in the boston or general New England area?

Where are the best places to buy law books (like practice guides, handbooks, and other reference materials), especially online…? Thanks!!

Recently found out a male attorney I manage makes significantly more than me. He has been licensed one less month than I. Any advice for how to approach my mgr? Small firm, so HR is not an option.

Any American barred lawyers working in Europe? What’s it like? How is the pay? Where do you work (company and country)? After yesterday, I feel like I should at least explore my options. Visa/work permit not an issue since spouse is an EU citizen.

I have so much anxiety about making mistakes at work, with the latest one over a partner calling out a mistake I made (and should’ve known about) that a senior associate also didn’t catch during her review. I adore this senior associate and actually triple-checked everything to make life easy for her, and yet still somehow missed this ONE (tiny) thing. Does it get better with experience? As in less anxiety and less mistakes on the details?

Weird question. Got an offer months ago for a job abroad (not in my country of choice) and turned it down due to the low salary and not being in Europe. I started a new role in NYCsince I got that job offer in a large firm (from a small firm in a small town), started 3 months ago, and I absolutely hate it. Not sure whether I should try this small firm abroad for a change in pace. The new firm swears, “if you ever work past 5 pm here, there’s something seriously wrong. We don’t believe in that.”

Women who went from Litigation to Corporate, when, why, and how did you do it? How do you like it?

Any women with men who are obsessed with sneakers? My husband’s birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get him (not sneakers). Any ideas would be great!

Need outfit advice - starting a new job later this month and am meeting 2 people from the new firm for coffee tomorrow. Outfit suggestions? I already accepted the job/have a start date but my interviews were all virtual. This is my first in person with anyone from the new firm.

Senior is taking next week off (gave my junior and I four days notice) and has been emailing me with requests all day to clear his plate before he goes offline. Today is already a bad day for me because of pms induced severe mood swings + burn out from this past week. I’m taking a stand and not letting him bully me into working for his sake. He can wait until tomorrow. Or Monday. Whatever.

“what would you wear” question here: Thursday @ 6pm cocktail reception/closing dinner with clients and their counterparties. dress code not specified in the invite. err on the side of “workwear” or “cocktail attire”? I’m specifically wondering if strappy heeled sandals are OK or if I should stick to more conservative pumps/booties (plan to pair with a knee length sheath dress + blazer so the shoes really tip the scales one way or another…)

How do you work through a horrible break up?

Has anyone used BiBerk legal malpractice insurance in NYC and what was your experience? Any suggestions for alternative legal malpractice insurance companies?

Pt 1 - am a first year associate in big law and started dating someone the summer I was studying for the bar. My schedule was flexible then. After I took the bar, I had 3 months off before starting and I spent a lot of time with my SO. Since starting, my SO has said on a few occasions that he feels I prioritize my work/friends over him even though we spend most nights together. I obviously try hard to fit in friends when I can bc it is all hard to balance. I feel that he seems skeptical when

Anyone here follow/have followed a “lazy keto” diet before? I’m not interested in counting macros/net carbs, but won’t have a problem sticking to a diet of the recommended foods and cutting out the “bad” foods. If you have experience doing something similar, I’d love to hear about it!

What is the bonus structure at your firm? I work at an IP boutique in patent and trademark prosecution. Our billable is 1850, which sounds nice except that patent prosecution is done on fixed fee so you can only bill so many hours per project. Bonus structure is gross salary divided by 1850 times hours over. So ex, $95 hourly x hours over 1850 and then taxed.

This is an absolutely ridiculous question, but how do you manage to go number 2 in the office with shared bathrooms!? It’s literally the pain of my existence. Help

Imagine a world where women lawyers made just as much if not more than men, didn’t have to worry about being too aggressive or too submissive, supported other women instead of bringing them down, and didn’t have to completely sacrifice a life to rise to the top because they were supported at home and by society for going after their dreams. Justice Ginsburg helped pave the way…let’s break some more glass ceilings.

Anyone struggled with this? I’m 30; I like the idea of having kids but also was never my “dream”. I get along with my friends’ kids ok, though I’d 100% hire a lot of help(love my career and would like to retain some freedom—the idea of not going to be able to go away for a weekend w my girlfriends/my husband with no kids troubles me).My husband LOVES kids, he takes charge of nearly all of the house chores, so I’d have support. People say don’t do it unless 100% sure;I feel I’ll never get there?

I am an insurance defense attorney. As part of the defense we go out to a lot of scene inspections that are dirty/messy (ie fire loss). The first time I wore business attire but soon realized that this was not practical. Therefore I’ve been wearing jeans to many of these scene inspections. However recently I’ve had a few of the (older male) attorneys make comments about not being professional. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you wear to a scene inspection?
