You can do it - typically people go with the „best“ option (doctors can tell you which one is the highest quality / best chance of success)

Op, did you hear this at dinner last night? Hahaha I talked about that with my friends last night lol

ParksBBQ?

Only time we ever talked about gender selection was after years of trying IVF and the thought by our doctor that my wife couldn’t might not be able to carry a boy

How is that even possible?

Mid-level here. Has anyone gotten their firm to approve their doing work at a deep discount and, if so, what strategies did you use? A potential client approached me directly about a small matter (~20 to 30 hr amicus brief). The potential client (gov’t) pays a standard rate ~40% lower than mine, but I want to take on the project because it would be a good professional opportunity (e.g., high profile case & client) and of course the lower rate won’t affect my comp directly. 🤷‍♀️ All advice welcome!
