I am new here. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a job in Houston Texas? I have over five years of experience as a Legal Assistant/Executive Assistant to VPs and CEOs. I came from a job (almost 5 years) that had no benefits, no PTO, no sick leave, nothing. Just a measly $20/hr while i waited on the CEO hand and foot. Personal and business. I have been applying, but everyone wants someone bilingual in spanish and i speak English and Russian.

Any recommendations on places to stay, visit in Dubai? Holiday family of 4 if that helps. Thank you!

Anyone else getting pretty harsh feedback on your candidacy as a whole from Maria at applicant lab? I feel like I have a doable shot at my target schools based on gpa, gmat and essays but every time she reviews she suggests I have no chance. It’s been pretty discouraging.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

It's been 2 weeks since this event

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted.

Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!

Are there any certifications or comprehensive courses for attorneys looking to break into blockchain?

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?
