I am feeling pressured to decorate my office. I understand this is usually a sign someone plans to stay long term but frankly I don’t care to. Is a well decorated office truly that important??

I have decorated my office heavily and lateraled 6 months later. While it may look like someone is staying, that’s definitely not a guarantee. Only decorate your office if it makes you happier to be in that space.

Lol as someone who doesnt even hang his degrees or licenses on his walls, i can assure you its a sign you have 0 intention on staying.....cause thats my excuse for not hanging crap up.

Firm paying for me to buy additional copies of my 4 licenses which will easily cost ~ $1k in frames and the license itself? No? Ok so dont tell me to decorate. Thanks in advance.

I’ve been practicing for 22 years and have never even had my degree/license framed. Until I became equity at a firm I never decorated. Now I have sports memorabilia but still no degree

I wouldn't stress about decorating your office at all. I have just a few photos on my desk but nothing too crazy, it's really just dependent on the person and it says nothing about how long you want to stay. I have colleagues who have been there much longer than me and their office still looks the same as their first day.

Like in Dec and March you will see less requirement due to Christmas and financial year ending. Similar what is the best period?

Because in my previous switch, 15 days were wasted due to Christmas and in March lot of requirements went on hold due to financial year ending.

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there. Is it typical that work done by associates on contingency cases isn’t counted toward their billable hour requirements unless and until we receive our fee on the case? This is my first experience with this, but it’s hard for me to reach my hours as is, without spending time on non billable cases like this with no assurance that I’ll see billable credit at the end.
