I am always wondering how important is LinkedIn presence for legal professionals?
I keep hearing that lawyers should ‘build a brand’ online — but how much does it really help? Do recruiters actually check profiles regularly, or only after an application comes in?

I get a lot of leads through LinkedIn. That is how I was contacted by a recruiter from my current position. It doesn’t hurt to have but I wouldn’t put much into creating content for it

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
