I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician. I’m looking for input on what I should ask for a raise. Given the minimum wage, I make about $5 over but that hasn’t really changed to match inflation of living, etc and truly feel like I should be making a decent amount more given my skills. Any helpful advice?

Looking at a Facebook people strategy role and wondering if I’d have a higher chance at getting a first round interview if I was referred by a FB recruiter in a different department? I have another friend who is a FB benefits manager but he says 9/10 referrals of his don’t get one. Thoughts?

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Hi all. I finally relatively have inner peace now but I think I should look for a virtual therapist that is well versed in childhood trauma, self parenting, digging out repressed trauma and memories, PTSD and all that jazz.

Preferably female and Chinese American recommendations would be best. I've tried one from BetterHelp, but didn't click and that was a back-end system match, not self selected.

Billing is about to drive me over the edge. I hate it. I love the law, generally like most aspects of my job, but the billing is awful. I feel super depressed and burnt out because of it. My bills are okay. I just don’t have 8 hours worth of work everyday/when I work for 7 hours on a substantive document I’m exhausted. I don’t know if I can keep this up. Any advice? I have amazing opportunities at my firm so idk if I want to leave but this is awful

Billing question/firm expanded too fast.

Fifth year here. Started at new firm 6 months ago, and they hired 4 people for 2 empty spots (they are expanding). 1800 billing requirement is enforced but there are just days where I'm not busy/billing. I've emailed and gone door to door for work, but I think they expanded too fast and concerned about not hitting minimums. Any advice/similar stories?

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm.

Any tips on how to negotiate a sign on bonus after being given a market offer at a V100 firm, but without a sign on bonus included?

A recruiter reached out to me (calling my assistant nonetheless), I told her I wasn’t interested. Now HER BOSS from the same firm is trying to reach me to make me change my mind. I’d like at least a box of apology chocolates to talk to them ever again.

I am a new attorney (one year being barred) and I have no confidence when it comes to taking deposition, mainly because English is not my first language. I was taking a deposition last week and the Corp was kind of making fun of me especially when he asked me “what I am asking is a request or demand” and again “what I am asking is a question or an order” I was stunned and didn’t know what to say!
I just need advise from all experienced attorneys how can I improve my deposition taking skills?

How many unread work emails do you have?

Working all day Sunday after a long week because partner promised client an F-1 draft that I had 3 days to complete with a full additional workload since we’ve lost all except one other mid/senior.
