It’s the end of October and you don’t want to start until February? Dude, they need you now, not in four months.

Not in public. If it takes more than two weeks, you’re going it wrong

Two extra weeks is not unreasonable to make the new employer wait. If they insist, it's a red flag.

I half-assed applied. I really didn’t think I would get a call! I hear people say it takes 3-4 months to find a job so I started looking

Starting sooner? I want to respond back “mid-February 2019” because I like my coworkers now and don’t want to screw them over during busy season, but I don’t want a later start date hurting my chances of getting a job

Two weeks? Yes. If that is the months too long then you explain to co-workers and you say adios.

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Tax question - I make about $200k and get half of my income from a W-2 and another half from being an independent contractor. Because, I’m subject to pay both FICA and SECA taxes. Do my social security taxes get capped on amounts paid above the ~$140k threshold across both my W-2 and 1099 incomes or am I out of luck and have to pay more than that since only about 100k of my income is FICA and the other 100K is SECA (which is subject to ~12% overall including the ER portion)?
