I have offers from both Fisher Phillips and Jackson Lewis in the LA office. Thoughts on which firm is better in terms of work culture, growth, partners?

I previously worked at both (but not in CA). I enjoyed both firms, the people, and the work, but I’d choose FP over JL 10 times out of 10. Better base comp, way better bonus possibility, more transparency about partnership requirements, way less EPLI work.

That being said, local office dynamics matter, too. I think I worked with around 8 LA attorneys at FP, and I liked all of them. I don’t think I worked with any LA people at JL (or if I did, they’re no longer there), so I can’t really weigh in there. Through the grapevine, I’ve heard that JL’s CA offices are drowning in work though, but someone closer to that situation here can definitely weigh in more authoritatively than me.

Can’t say much about JL but FP is growing rapidly, both in terms of headcount and office openings. Vibes are good, can confirm that partnership and salary/bonus info is pretty transparent

FP for sure.

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation.

However I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback
