How worried should I be about low hours in the months leading up to mat leave in BigLaw? My firm’s policy expressly says it’s ok for hours to taper two weeks before leave, but all my bigger cases have recently settled or are on hold for other reasons. I was already somewhat low on hours in May and this month is looking even slower. I’m trying to pick up short term assignments but it’s still only enough to bill like 20 hrs a week. Just looking for a gut check on how worried I should be.

I have a set of virtual interviews that last from 9-5 with 8 different people. Why does that seem a little excessive to me? I understand that they want to make sure many people across different departments approve of me but it still seems like a lot.

Hi all! I've got an SEO question I'm hoping someone can help with:
How do you choose keywords to target in a blog when you're writing a blog that appears on multiple country specific versions of a given website? Do you use a mix of keywords from each region/country in one blog, or create different versions of the same blog with slight keyword differences based on the country?
Feel free to DM me if you want! thanks in advance from an entry level content marketer. :)

What's the best consulting firms for H1B folks who have studied masters in STEM here? Got a cousin graduating this fall and he needs to know H1B/GC policies.

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!

Hello Fishies!

Anyone have insights on how much a consultant would run for DEI?

Not sure if consultants would charge on an hourly, per meeting, per "experience" basis.

Would greatly appreciate any information!
