I hired someone who I thought was an amazing candidate; their resume was fantastic, and they nailed every interview. I felt confident in my choice, but that confidence came back to bite me. This perfect hire flamed out, hard, in under 2 weeks. Now the rest of the team is feeling stressed out while struggling to pick up the slack left by this guy, and I’m scrambling to backfill his role, but I don’t want to make another mistake. Thoughts on how to avoid in the future?

Is Hillingdon/ Uxbridge a nice area to live and commute into London? SO is starting a job in Ox so considering living somewhere in between.

Republicans... in hindsight, do you think it was a political miscalculation to have Pence on the ticket? Seems to me it would have been advantageous to have someone firmly in the Trump camp - like Alex Jones - as his VP to galvanize the base and put more daylight between the Trump ticket and Biden’s mainline political position. Thoughts?

Hello Folks!

During work from office days, a representative from third party vendor organization used to visit the Gurgaon office during the Investment Proof Declaration days to help folks with "rent agreements, PAN number and rent slips" (ahem!! ahem!! IYKYK) and we were able to claim tax deductions.

Is it still happening there? Also, does anyone have a contact for them?

I get along with people up to the senior manager level, half the directors, and very few of the partners.

Why are partners usually the hardest to deal with / interact with?

How long will I last in this industry?

Happy Be Kind to Lawyers Day!
