Hi, I’m a 2024 accounting graduate currently enrolled in the CPA PEP program. I recently applied for an entry-level role that closely matches my experience and skill set.

He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team.
