I find myself in a difficult position. I have a very large potential class action that I could file. The complication is that the company's in-house counsel is a former partner at my firm. briefly mentioned the potential case to her, and she became upset. She's concerned that her employer will think she and are colluding, which is absolutely not the case. The reality is that the class action will be filed by someone else, but I'm unsure how to navigate the situation.

You should probably talk to people at your firm not random internet strangers.

No more chats. Check ethical rules to confirm you didn’t violate them. If those are your clients, you owe them a duty, not a former co-worker. Yes, she may be in a bad spot but you didn’t create it. And if you didn’t have the conversation already, she easily could have said she has no idea. Now what can she say? I got a heads up but didn’t do anything about it?!?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India.
