Hi everyone! I received a verbal offer but having some 2nd thoughts on moving forward and leaning towards declining. When the recruiter gets back to me, should i wait for them to send me the written offer or just decline from the start? Is it bad to wait for them to draft an offer if im intending to decline anyways?

Why are you intending to decline? And at least look at the offer geesh. J you ou may even be able to negotiate a golden parachute.

Ive been reading some poor reviews and spoke to some users here and glassdoor. Hearing poor management and toxic work culture

Are you hearing this directly from current or past employees?

I say go ahead and wait for the offer and ask about what you've heard. See how they respond, but they may ask where you've heard these things. Just because the interview meeting is over doesn't mean you're done considering if they are a good fit for you and vice versa.

Ask them directly to see how they respond and it's worth looking at the offer.

I’m a mentor for a summer associate who I believe could be a great lawyer here (V100, small market if that matters). However, it is apparent he has no understanding of technology (redlines, word, excel). Based on his background, I believe it’s due to a lack of access. Would you ever recommend to your firm that he be given a course to catch up? Should I try and get him training on my own? Stay out of it? I dont want to overstep but believe this would help him as this puts him way behind his peers

My boss is asking me to do someone else’s task while they’re out on medical leave. This is the 2nd thing I’m having to take over for someone since someone else left to another dept.
I am already on the job search looking for a better job. But, he doesn’t know that(obvi). I get annoyed that they keep thinking I can take over anything without compensation.

Does it matter when I ask for a raise? My company process is that my manager completes a performance review, then I review what he wrote and after I sign off on it, that’s when raises happen. Last year, they gave a 1% raise and didn’t even tell me about it, so I’m wondering, should I wait and see what they give this year and then negotiate or ask for it before I sign off on my review?
