How did you learn the “business” side of opening your own firm? How do you figure out the most basic things such as 1099/paying yourself/taxes/deductions etc? I can figure out the legal side and what software and things to get but no clue where to begin on the business side, including the “copyright” and all the fine print for your website even. Please help!

Any advice on how to get in touch with PE shops? I’ve been reaching out to PE headhunters on LI but low to no response. I’ve got ~9 YOE in Consulting and looking for an Ops role.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday. I have two other opportunities that are in final steps but probably won’t have offers by next Wednesday. Both of the other offers will be higher pay but clearly are uncertain for offers. Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

Hi I work in patient finance and I am desperately bored with my job. I have a bachelors which isn’t a requirement for my role. I have been applying non stop to jobs that do require a bachelors and I am qualified for. Either I don’t get called for an interview or when I do I’m not selected. I have followed up with some of the interviewers and they all told me I interview well. I am so tired of disappointment that I feel like giving up and just settling. I don’t know what to do.

Hi Fishes,

Any referral for Data Scientist role!
Total Exp : 3y
Relevant Exp : 2.4y

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

Interested to see some perspectives - currently working at a Payroll & Benefits Specialist at a fast growing company and recently passed my PHR! I just started this role only a few months ago but am already feeling like I can take on more, but not as much as a HR manager. I’m struggling to understand where exactly it is I can go from here. I’m 25, have 3 years of experience, and get paid $59k/year.

Where does one go from here? Thanks in advance for any and all answers!

My creative marketing agency, Codeword, is hiring account people! Senior Account Managers, an Account Director, and Account Managers. We work with tech clients like Google, Linktree, Qualcomm, and others. The agency has about 80 employees, but is owned by a much bigger parent company so the benefits are great!

This may be a dumb question but— is it permissible to pay a vendor for a cost associated with a case through your business account’s zelle? Working on my first solo case and just wanted to be sure. Thank you.

Lawcus v. Clio? Which do you prefer?

Any plaintiffs side class action lawyers here? I do some defense side, but have been thinking about hanging a shingle. Would like to specialize in consumer, TCPA, etc

Myself and another associate at our 10 attorney firm are wanting to leave and start our own practice after only one year as attorneys. We both have extensive experience in the legal field. While people often argue we should “stay for the experience” we have found nobody is mentoring us and we have to figure it all out by ourselves anyway. Are we crazy to start our own firm next year?

How much revenue did you generate during your first year as a solo? I’m thinking about going solo next year. I practice divorce law now so I would continue doing that once I start my own firm. What should I budget for and what did you make the first year?

Finishing up my first year of big law, thinking of starting my own practice while I work at my current position. Thinking that in a few months, I’ll concretely work solely for my own practice full-time. How difficult is it to gain clients (mainly PI and civil lit)? My mentor also offered me to be an off counsel while I’m working at my current job so that I can refer cases for a cut, would there be an ethical issue? FYI my firm does unrelated law to PI and doesn’t forbid doing extra work.

Owners: do you prorate an associates first paycheck if they started in the middle of a pay cycle? Or do you give them the full pay anyway?

Is there a good reliable source for demand letter templates? I transitioned into my own practice from big law transactional work and don't have a nice repository of demand letters. Much of my solo work is dispute resolution which necessarily means I need to bulk up on my resources.

I believe improving one’s sales conversion rate is something everyone want to improve but no one wants to admit they would like to work it. Funny how lawyers will spend thousands on seminars to improve trial skills. But this topic is not discussed in our profession. I have read books in sales. But am unable to find any for lawyers. I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?
