I always seem to have plenty of free time when I do client visits in shitty places but send me somewhere actually fun and I’m in meetings all goddamned day.

I'm crazy petrified of overspending a significant amount over a client's media budget. Have you or your agency ever done this? By how much and how did your agency handle it?

Hi everyone,

I created a Web API project on .Net 6 and hosted it on GitHub. But the swagger UI page is not loading.

Does anyone have any ideas to resolve this issue?

I tried to find the solution but couldn't get it.

I enabled the CORS policy and also added code for the production environment.

Please help.

Junior here. How common is it to be nudged off a brief when you can't get ideas through internally? My partner and I are often put on the same briefs as more experienced (sometimes senior) teams. As a result, their work tends to make it through to the client presentation while most of ours dies somewhere along the way from CD to CCO. Is this worth worrying over?

When a new type of project comes in and you get assigned as the PM to “figure out” the project plan, how do you go about resource allocation? Sometimes I struggle to know what the team configuration should even be, because we’ve never done said project type before. It’s hard to know what type of people should be assigned, and at what % time, when there isn’t a preexisting process or work breakdown structure for the deliverables I’m being handed to “manage.” How do/would you handle?

Hi all

Anyone has boilerplate message they recommend?

I’m a third year but only 4 months into a brand new practice area. At what point should I feel like I can handle a new client with little to no direction from the partner? Truthfully, I feel like a first year all over again (most days) even though I’m enjoying the new area (from ID to construction/real estate).

Family member saw me working out hard and called me a "retard" for pushing myself being at max speed and "making faces". Seriously? When you push hard, it's supposed to be - hard. No?

🐠 in Maui. I’m planning to visit in about 2-3 weeks. Wanted to see if you think it’s worth postponing given the big storm that just passed by. Or was the impact relatively minor? Hope all is well 🙏

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review? I’m talking routine low value and risk contracts (e.g., vendor services), where Legal terms won’t kill the deal. My clients blindly forward contracts. I say “are you sure this term is ok?” And often get “no.” They’re surprised because they never read them. Checking the temp to see what others experience, what might be normal. I feel contract training in my clients’ future...

Interviewing now, chances of being hired before the new year?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

😦 Whenever I fast forward through an ad on my DVR, I feel a brief but sharp pain in my chest. ⏩
