Hey hey you old fogies 😂

Hi All! New to AZ and the AZ market. Curious of the salary range for a Law Firm Administrator for a national firm, Phoenix branch (not headquarters) with a team of +50. I recognize there is a lot at play with comp. My research points to a $110-$130k range. Does that sound accurate?

Lots of open positions at Mastercard. Message me if you need a referral!

Is this wavy and glary effect on my brand new picture window normal? Here are the details: Approx 75X48, tempered, dual pane, low e, argon. I texted my window guy about it and he never got back to me so I want to do more research and get more thoughts before I hound him or make an issue out of it. I did some research online and I believe this is called roller-wave distortion, which can be common with tempered glass. But I am wondering if this is excessive in my case? From the inside, there is no

Do others know of businesses who intend of disposing if GMP Manufacturing locations in the upcoming 24 months?

I’m going to taste of Atlanta next weekend if anyone wants to join. Just moved to the city and the offer is open to anyone!

Rant: 2nd year associate here. One team I am staffed on has a midlevel that was hired in 2021 from a non-traditional route. I hate to be biased but I am so tired of this person not knowing the basic things a first year would know (to copy teammates for discussions relating to the matter, to read matter emails that are not addressed to you, and really the most basic substantive law on this subject). Fyi, I like my other seniors/mids in my firm that are homegrown/lateraled from other big law.

Big law associate with 2 years litigation experience + 1 year transactional. Just got let go from my firm because work was very slow over the last ~6ish months. Any firms in LA hiring? Any associates that want to pass along my resume?

Hi Fishes,
Any news regarding work from home notice for SSIPL?

I know Bitcoin gets a lot of exposure but if you invested in Stellar or Ethereum over the last year, you would have a higher rate of return versus bitcoin. For any new Investors, you should definitely take a look at other crypto’s outside of bitcoin.

Im very bullish on Stellar and Ethereum as they have actual use cases. I don’t really believe in the bitcoin inflation protection use cases.

Good luck 🍀

Corporate junior associate here. Do firms genuinely treat pro bono the same as billable work? I’ve billed around 200 hours pro bono this year and as we near our review cycle, I’m anxious about whether there’s such thing as too many pro bono hours.

Just have to say - at the beginning of the year I jumped ship where I was (a bank) where I was making $39k a year, to another bank where I am making $45k a year and have a 2 weeks on, 2 weeks work from home schedule. My new company is great and it was a significant raise. Now, this inflation is absolutely killing my wife and I, since we had a lease renewal happen last month. Would I be out of line to ask for a raise after 6 months? I know my coworkers all make at least $5k more a year than me.

Has anyone dated, or ended up marrying, someone that was saving themselves for marriage? How did it turn out?

Are agencies/companies selling old computer monitors? How can I get one?

Need a dinner rec in downtown (EV, WV, Soho, Les) for a friend who is leaving the country soon. Something big, buzzy and worthy of a farewell NYC dinner.

How do you all deal with loneliness? My roommates have been gone a lot this summer during the weekends and I’ve been struggling to cope.

Wise confessions bowl turned out to be a feel good bowl. ♥️♥️

Who’s up but who’s checking their work email 😆

I feel part of a clique (the cool kind).

What happened to all my badges?

Got an offer at a great company. Ive done this job before but moved away from it because it burnt me out because of the people and it scarred me. I have found out i have ptsd from it and am scared to start the new one. Been working on ptsd thru therapy. I know its a great firm and a great opportunity but my ptsd is bad. Another company last wk reached out same field diff role more chill and behind the scenes and i cant help but think about the easy way out over the challenge and better future.

Why do partners feel the need to speak when they obviously have very superficial knowledge about the topic? So exhausting pushing back on stupid ideas, needless analysis, unnecessary credit taking attempts and spending time making their input sound coherent with what was already aligned with client. Let me manage and please just get out of the way…

I could be watching the man burn right now but I was too jaded to get up there this year.

Hi! Hows the new wk going??? Anything exciting?

What up friendzz. Let’s get confessinnn

I know everyone raves about the chicken sandwiches from Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. But I personally like Wendy’s chicken sandwich and Mickey D’s McChicken.

I just discovered that scheduling a call for 7 am the morning after a boozy team event is the best way to get easy agreement and consensus. No debating for the sake of debating when everyone is sleepy! 😂

Hello fellow olds!! I was just at a work dinner and HH. Three drinks and food and weeeee! Damn. Such a lightweight now! 😂 Hope you all are enjoying the night. 😘

How's everyone's back and knees doing

It’s Thursday night. That means it’s “wine confession” time for me. 😂 AMA?

I feel like my people must be here. Everyone on my team is <35 (and I love them) but I’m right on the cusp and officially over the 35 mini hill. Who else has younger team members but is still “young” and doesn’t know what to advise about this age range to the youths ready for some great awakenings that come in this late 30s era?!

Since you all are wise, I have a question, not really a confession though…but I will add a confession at the end..

If you submit to a specific role at a large company and they reject you for the role you applied, would you still be on file if there are other roles that are a match? Or, do you have to apply to each role? I am thinking it is the latter.

Confession question…how often do you stalk exes or people you used to work with? Like someone will come to mind and I will immediately (cont)

I’m showing my age I guess but it’s really hard to tell who’s on the cover. It’s Usher right?
