How are y'all supplementing your income for the holidays? I've been budgeting, and I doubt I can afford much for Christmas this year, on my salary alone.

I've been churning bank account offers. Open an account, set up direct deposit, hit the minimum bonus threshold, collect the bonus, rinse & repeat. It's not much of a side hustle, but I don't have time for a real one and this requires zero effort other than annoying payroll with bank change requests.

I’m just watching what I’m spending. Instead of large gifts, it’s a few smaller ones this year.

Same, and lots of "coupons" for spending time together 💕

Here’s another thought, it may take a little bit of work, but anything is worth chasing down at this point. I’m going to hit every class action lawsuit that I am a part of in order to get what I owed. Some of those numbers go pretty big over $1000. Some of them are small but at this point anything will help.

How do you find those?

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

I accepted a job offer in April to start a few months from now, post clerkship. All conflicts/background check went smoothly etc. Since accepting my offer, the firm has increased their 1st year pay across the board to be higher than my offer was (which was, at the time, what 2nd yeas got). When should I reach out to the recruitment attorney leading up to my start date? Or should I? (Haven't spoken since May) Should I bring up the salary or just assume its higher?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
