I feel like I’m my honeymoon period at my new job is ending. I haven’t had any negative incidents, but it just feels like the vibe has changed. Any thoughts on navigating it?

Fell off the keto track for this week, any suggestions on how to get back on track?

Starting keto next week. What should I expect in terms of “keto flu” and any other symptoms the first week (or more?)

Curious if most of you track Net Carbs vs Total Carbs? I’m finding it difficult/demotivating to just track Total.

Has anybody here started keto and seen a reduction in their a1c? I started in September after mine went up to 7. Gonna have it rechecked next month and I’m excited to see if it made a big difference.

Me and my gf of two years got engaged this weekend. It was the best day of my life. Getting married in 2020 but have about 37473828 color palettes and venues picked out already. HOLLLLLAAAA

What is the appropriate salary range for managers/supervisors of data analytics in NYC at a global media agency?

After working for so long in this industry, working towards the skills, I am realizing the money is the only thing worth chasing because it’s all the same everywhere and you can only hope for the best

Accepted an offer and my start date is mid October. I asked about background check results and if they were going to send me an email once everything was cleared. I was told they don’t do that. How am I supposed when to put my 2 weeks notice ? I wanted to take some time off between jobs but I want to have everything cleared before doing so.

Hows the WLB of AM at Deloitte USI?

Hi guys! I’m currently in HR representative who’s been working in the industry for roughly a year now and I’m thinking about transitioning to project management. Does anyone have any advice or tips that I can help with this transition? Thank you so much

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

My technical skills are dying at this firm, if I grind SQL leetcodes and do regular Python, can I do well in a industry level data analyst position? I spend 95% of my time making slides and 5% coding. I feel like I need to find a exit option that has some room for training and growth.

Have any M&A associates (a) gone in house and re-tooled to a more commercial counsel role and (b) found that the hours are actually better in their new role (ie little to no night and weekend work)? Considering a move in house but get concerned that I’d be dealing with the same hours for less pay.

My Legal department reports to HR. We used to report to the CEO. What’s the knee-jerk reaction to directly reporting to HR?

Anyone else’s legal dep’t report to someone other than the CEO, CFO or Board?

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...

Any advice on starting a law department of 1? Starting a new gig next month for a small but very profitable company that hasn’t had an in house attorney in some time. Moving from private practice litigation to this quasi-GC role and I’m not sure what to expect in terms of time, workload, and flexibility.

New to an in-house role. No one here has my expertise so they’ve basically given me the keys to drive. The problem is that for some critical decisions, I want to get us all on the same page.

Everyone is super busy and it’s tough to get responses or feedback. Sometimes the silence feels like disapproval (though I thought they were generally happy to have me.)

Am I overthinking it? Is this common?

What level role should biglaw litigator with 7 YOE target for first in-house job? Am I aiming too low to apply for jobs that want 3-5 YOE?

How long would you stay bored in-house before making a move? I’m 10 months in and for a few months now have been extremely bored. Don’t see things changing. I’m a 5th year and considering going back to a firm and maybe trying in-house again down the line. The boredom really gets to you!

If I’m in house after 3-4 years big law, am I just stuck at 200-300k for life? Is there any upward mobility?

How long did it take from application to interview and possibly job offer?

I’m an L&E attorney looking to transition in-house. I’ve only received one call back. Not sure if I’m impatient or getting passed over.

For context I’ve been told by recruiters that I have an impressive resume.

Hobbies/side hustles that people have picked up since leaving biglaw? I've been spending more time reading up on investing, but any other inspiration appreciated!

If you had to pick one practice area now to prepare to be the best in-house candidate in the future, what would you pick and why?

Got an offer to lateral as a non equity partner, not sure if I should take it since my ultimate goal is to be in house. Does becoming a partner limit in house prospects?

Anyone have feedback on in house attorney positions with Mercury Insurance?

Manager (VP) mad that I didn’t include her on a call with other Legal VPs earlier this week, despite me not organizing the call. Then Manager gets mad when I ask her to confirm whether I should pass on work to another Legal VP/VP’s team because I should have just sent it over without asking my Manager. Is it just me or is my Manager just being difficult?

Has anyone else dealt with this situation?

My company has no CLO or GC. However, my company runs all in house legal opinions through its CCO, a non attorney. The CCO and I have had disagreements on points of law on several occasions, but regulatory actions have backed up my opinions. Regardless, the company values the layman's point of view more than mine. I do not feel appreciated by this company in my current role.

When in-house hires a new in-house counsel from big law, do they care about which big law firm they’re coming from?

Recruiters for in-house positions? I get emails and LinkedIn messages daily from recruiters for lateral Biglaw positions, but not for in-house positions. Should I just start emailing them about in-house positions or are there specific recruiters for in-house versus firms? 5th yr lit associate at a AmLaw50 firm looking to go in-house (product or lit counsel).

How common is severance pay/benefits for in-house positions? For what time period after being laid off / percentage of base compensation? Is it normally negotiated with compensation, etc., prior to acceptance of a position? Is there a tactful/smart way to raise it in negotiations (e.g., something along the lines of “I’m taking a risk making this move in-house; it’s only fair for you to take in the risk of my involuntary departure.”)?
