How do you explain what you do to normal people without sounding like a jerk? Whenever I’m at a party and someone asks what I do, I see their eyes glaze over the second I mention regulatory compliance. If I try to simplify it, I sound condescending; if I give details, I sound like a textbook. I’ve started just saying I work in an office to avoid the inevitable ‘Can you look at my speeding ticket?’ follow-up questions. Gimmie your elevator pitch!

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help. Most of the time we have to explain every detail multiple times and they still don’t understand what we’re doing. I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.

Google for the win? what say you. That was so on brand and thoughtful. ❤️

Second year associate here who recently switched from litigation to corporate law. I am absolutely swamped while simultaneously having no idea what I’m doing ever and I’m feeling so burnt out.

I need a hug.

Last associates committee meeting is coming up. Partners have asked each associate to come up with... not one... but FIVE marketing ideas. Other than reeling out “we offer competitive pay” in job postings, what are some good ones your firm does?
