I spend over an hour stuck in traffic 5 days a week and it's starting to take a toll on my mental health. Since most of our work is done online, I don't understand why more firms aren't still offering remote positions. I checked fully remote paralegal jobs on LinkedIn yesterday and was surprised at how few there were compared to last year. I feel so stuck. What would you do?

Thoughts on $XPEV?

Dear folks,

Thank you,
Yours truly.

Hi , can anyone please share what their interview was like with EY ? I’m applying for a senior position. Thanks

Hi all! I was wondering if you can share your experience balancing work and interview prep at the same time? Work has been super demanding and I’m trying to prep for interviews, but I have no time except for the weekends (even then my time is extremely limited because I don’t want to completely ignore my loved ones, and I try to catch up on some sleep here and there).

Hi Guys,

Let me know if anyone is looking for a referral in Accenture. Multiple job postings are available.

Is it a red flag if a company told me they want to make me an offer but are taking a really long time to actually send me an official offer?

What are thoughts in transitioning from Life Sci Consultant to a Medical Science Liaison for a large pharma? Is that a lateral move or a downgrade?
Also, any perspectives on MSLs welcome!

When a company asks us to provide the offer letter we are already having , is it fine to provide it to them as it is confidential.

I’ve heard electric cars aren’t actually as clean as they make them out to be since the electricity they use is still being produced by coal-powered plants. To what extent is this true? Is the reduced environmental impact worth the investment at this point in their development?

What’s the appraisal cycle in citi ? If I join in last week of Aug , would I be eligible for next year appraisal ?

Has anyone moved away from NY and successfully resigned from the NY bar? What are the consequences if you just don’t pay? The requirements are insane to officially “resign” - draft a motion, pay a fee, send proof of service - I honestly do not know what this nonsense means, I’m not a litigator for a reason. Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?

Anyone up and want to chat? 24 M here.

Anyone work for Morgan Lewis Bockius? Specifically in Boston ?

I hate due diligence requests. Every time my email notification pings I want to cry. I’m already going as fast as I can.

Any paralegals ever switch to a legal tech company? How did you like it?

Fried Frank reached out to me about an open senior real estate paralegal position they have in NY, and at first I wasn’t looking to move from my current firm, but then we talked salary (a nearly 50% raise) and now I’m willing to listen a little bit more. What are people’s thoughts on Fried Franks Real Estate team in NY?

How do you know when it is time to move on. I am the only litigation paralegal billing over 2,500 a year consistently. Love the boss I work the most for but that person has grown distant. Staff reviews were supposed to be complete this week and no one has mentioned mine. Underpaid by about $30k per market value. Torn and confused.

Corporate and IP paralegals what do you do on a daily basis and why do you think it’s so hard to break into these fields?

Do small law firms have paralegal managers?

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work. My position title is changing soon but I’m wondering how helpful that would be for wanting to go into PM work at a tech company. Anyone have any career pivot advice? (Also I’m only 1.5yrs old in my career so I’m definitely still new, and I have previous experience as a project assistant).

So I have my bachelors in criminal justice and I just finished my paralegal certificate course today. My attorney should be making partner this year. With that being said I told her that I would complete my certificate by the summer around the time she would make partner. Should I mention to her Monday that I completed my paralegal certificate in hopes that the raise will be bigger or should I wait until June when she makes partner.thoughts?

What were some effective tips or resources that helped you to learn the systems of your first firm? We feel like our firm admin/paralegal is not getting acclimated and not assisting the firm as we hoped. So we want to make sure we’re effectively training her and providing the best resources/tools for success.

Any paralegals here working at Nesenoff & Miltenberg LLP in Manhattan? How’s the culture, pay, and work and life balance?

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

Any struggling paralegals here? Do you feel like your financial situation is affecting your productivity at work? I like the work I do but the pay really sucks. I feel like the fear of not being able to pay some bills on time is affecting my productivity. I’ve asked for a raise but that may not still cut it, and idk if that will go through or not.
