Hi everyone! having tackled virtual onboarding personally I wanted to write about my experience to help new starters and managers go through the process. I also spoke to two friends (one starting at Deloitte and the other at an early stage startup). Hope it helps you all! hipr.pl/37DgkAm

Are there any entreprenuers in this group?

If I got a manager for employment claims’ position is it hard to pivot to an associate counsel role etc? What do you think the main difference between the two are? Is it a good position for a stepping stone to in house counsel?

Are y’all about this life?! Hit me up

What makes the most sense if you are trying to become a data scientist? Working at Accenture as a digital analyst or going to a startup and take an offer an junior data scientist? Can’t decide!

Even without LinkedIn, I see a lot of people younger than me in much better roles. They started off with relevant jobs right out of college. I graduated in 2009 when the economy tanked and worked in retail for years before I was finally able to land in corporate. Does anybody else struggle with this as well? I’m constantly comparing myself to others who are younger than me.

How difficult is it to get the top of the range listed in the job postings? Also, are what are standard sign on bonuses?

So here in CA there is a lot of talk about certain jurisdictions doing virtual jury trials. As a firm we won’t agree to it and if push comes to shove we’ll take it up on. Writ. What is everyone else’s opinion?

I’m getting great experience, several big newsworthy cases, lots of depositions, lots of legal writing...

And I absolutely hate it. The hours are miserable. I just want a 9-5. My ambition has been sapped away.

What’s the most unprofessional thing you’ve seen in a deposition recently?

Does anyone work at a firm where legal assistants don't do legal assistant things? For example, I have to do my scheduling and calendaring. I have to upload documents to our file management system. This morning, a name partners assistant didn't realize the name partner had a depo and didn't confirm it. This is how this firm as been for decades and it's incredibly frustrating to work this way. It's so hard to not stress over this daily.

Best big law firms for white collar defense?

I do a lot of freelance that deals with collage incorporated into my design.
Is there any good sites to get free photos from?

I know about pixabay and unsplash but looking for random items!

Just started a new job and three people from the team have put in their notice or have left. Not a good look.

Anyone else starting a new job remotely tomorrow? Would love to hear how you’re preparing or just offer mutual support. Let’s start off 2021 strong! ☺️

Anyone from docusign knows the laptop models that employees get? I’ve heard Lenovo and MacBook - specifically are they Lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon, MacBook Pro 2021? 😬

Hi everyone! Can someone tell me the best companies that allow employees to work outside the country with might restrictions? I work at major FAANG tech company currently and I want to see my options. Thank you!!

Stunod question:
Did you keep all boxes for your laptops/peripherals?

Should one add their personal technology that are currently used for remote work on their resume? Seems most companies will provide the hardware and software needed. However, it’s unclear if the employer will provide this through Teamviewer/VPN connection or will send an actual computer. Along with this, would it be pertinent to add your internet capability (speed, fios/cable/satellite/dsl)?

Hey there folks.
There’s a great opportunity with Cisco as a Tech Writer! My wife and I have our 3rd&last child coming this July. Any idea on the starting pay?
Thanks

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes. In downtime, go through your notes and come up with questions by reperforming old work. Set up recurring question sessions with your team so you know what to do next time. Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance
