Go in a quiet room and mentally get yourself back in the game. Start with something either small or boring and it will build from there.

Recent law grad here, looking for a firm job. Can others share what I should be looking for in a compensation package nowadays? What's typical and what's not? (e.g. 401k match, health/dental/vision, paid time off, vacation). And how does that change based on: small firm, midsize firm, big firm? Thanks in advance!

I met on Tinder 4 this ago. We’ve been seeing each other pretty much every day since our first date and this this weekend we went abroad for a short trip. Everything was fine and we had a good time. We have not labeled our relationship but he said he’s not seeing anybody else (neither am I). But, while on holiday, I noticed he was still on tinder. What does this mean? Is he just “checking” or is it a sign that he’s not into me?

Anyone have experience with having trouble with background checks because you got laid off between when you submitted your job application and got the offer? This might come up and I’m afraid of what to say or do if it does.

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

Employer requires use of vacation for sick days for non-exempt salaried employees, then surprises everyone with a forced, unpaid week at the end of the year due to shutdowns. At this point, most people that can afford to plan for the week of vacation time they have to use at the end of the year.

Is this common practice? I am pretty sure it is completely legal, but still seems like a bad policy.

I could use some perspective from my fellow 🐠: had an interview with a Deputy GC a little over 2 weeks ago. They said at the end of the interview that they were going on vacation so it might take a little longer than usual to hear back. They did not provide a timeline for next steps otherwise.

Is this code that they want to move the process forward with other candidates first, or am I overthinking things? Should I follow up or just let the process play out?

I've been asked to share my insights and long term plan for my role in our business. I am actively looking to exit and have been for the last six months. 😬

How would you approach the conversation? Do I have any option other than straight up lying? In previous roles I'd have been comfortable being honest about wanting to move on but I feel like my manager will take it personally that I want to leave and be a bit of a drama queen about it...
