Just pased the CT Bar exam this week! I'm working at the place I worked for as a summer associate, but its a general litigation firm.

Partners seem willing to talk. What kind of incentives should I even ask about?

A few months ago I asked the question about using travel smart routers to host a VPN to disguise your location. The purpose of this is to have a working vacation in a foreign country, without telling work about it. My work computer has restricted access so I cannot install a VPN service on the computer without help from IT. My work around is a smart router that can directly host a VPN. Now I am in Cabo with a VPN to the US. I’ve included some details in a comment below. AMA
