I spent almost 2 years trying to leave ID to get into labor and employment. Now that I'm in L&E, I think I almost miss ID. I'm not sure if it's because of my current firm, but I miss doing something I knew how to do, knew what to expect, and always had a steady flow of work.

Josh Allen vs. MIA or Jared Goff @ ATL

I got Chuba off the waivers. Would you trade him to the owner of CMC for someone like Marvin Jones Jr?

Pick 2: Kenyan drake, valdez-scantling, or Paris campbell for flex? Thinking drake since Edwards is doubtful

Patent prosecution or trademark prosecution? I have interest in both places but would love to hear the thoughts/experience of others.

Hi All,

Wanted to know from married folks

Thanks

Advice for shoes/sneakers that are (a) professional enough to wear to office with nice jeans on Friday, (b) suitable for work outs and/or light hiking?

How do y’all handle attorneys fees award in your retention agreements? Right now I have it as basically a bonus in addition to the contingency, but I have a potential client asking that it be deducted from the gross amount for purposes of calculating the contingency.

My thing is, the fight for attorneys fees is a huge fight in and of itself (not to mention rarely awarded). What incentive do I have to fight for a fee award if I’m not really benefiting from it??

NYC 🐠- Any recommendation for regular house cleaning services? Have been using handy but fed up with the unreliable cleaners even with expensive price tag. Midtown west studio if it helps.

Which are the best recruiters for producers?

Anyone attending Alteryx Inspire conference this year? Any networking tips/ to-dos for first timers?

Who created this group? Do they actually have any recruiters following it? From the top ten or so posts, it looks like no one really answers any questions. That’s a bummer.

Rejected w/o interview at Sloan. Reapplicant.

Got interviews at Wharton, Booth, HBS, SOM. So I’m not totally dejected but this rejection makes me wonder about my true chances at other schools.

I just did my 2nd interview for Synchrony…1st interview was easy and they told me I had a second interview but this one says in 10 (business) days to to weeks….does this sound promising or should I continue to look for another job.

Any hot leads on Workers Compensation roles?

Hey guyss ! So I’m a freight broker for a start-up company making 50k base with a $800 bonus every month. My numbers are great , and I always hit my quotas , but I can’t help but to feel like I’m being taken advantage of. Do you guys know of any other companies that are in the same or similar industry that pays more. The benefits are more than fine but I don’t make commission and it behooves me how I make the company an extra 10-20k a week but don’t see anything off it really.

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

Am I making enough profit for my firm?

I became a 2 year lawyer in September. I started working at my firm, a mid-sized firm practicing commercial business litigation and PI, in March of 2020. Last year I made the firm $180k from my billable hours and I was paid $85k + full health and other benefits.

This year, I'm on track to make about $150k and to make the firm about $450k from my billable hours and PI cases that I originated and settled.

Trying to do right for my firm. I'm treated well.

I was indirectly accused of fabricating a document. The exact words are "we cannot confirm the accuracy of this document as the letter was returned undeliverable"

I received the document from the author via email and have all the proof. In my brief should I just submit the email and leave it alone. Or should I spend more time hammering them on it?

Newbie associate here: if you’re not admitted in a certain state, can you send demand letters for events occurred in the state in which you’re not admitted? More in comments.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an attorney in NJ who handles zoning/challenging municipal actions regarding approval of construction/new builds?

As a 4th year I feel like I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing and everyone around me seems to be competent and confident. Am I just terrible at my job or is everyone else just better at faking it?

I have been working my tail off since coming back to work after a parental leave (which my boss was not happy or impressed about me taking) to get back in good standing. Today was my bi-annual review and the partners left me such glowing reviews it left me in tears to see that my hard work to both be there for my family and make it in my career has been noticed 😭

Giving notice this week…logistics require this to be done over a phone call. Will be the most recent of several associates who’ve given notice within the past 2 months (smaller firm). Any advice on how I can avoid/soften being the final nail in the proverbial coffin and/or straw that breaks the camel’s back and/or insert your preferred idiom here? Don’t need the pent up ire of these partners to rain down on me just because I’m last to leave…

Anyone work for NYC HEALTH & HOSPITAL that can talk about quality of work? Benefits, WLB, WFH, workload (!!), billable hours (??) etc? TYIA

Any insight on Verrill Dana in Boston? Compensation, billables, firm culture, etc.

My full time job (not SMU) is literally making me sick-spent time at the ER. One associate quit and another is out of full paid parental leave (must be nice, I’m not paid for doing double the work)…so I’m now expected to do the work of 3 associates. My supervisor isn’t exactly understanding, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve been searching for jobs, but it’s difficult since my background is diverse and not focused on one area of law. If I quit, how hard is it to find a new job?

I had an interview at a law firm and their recruiter wants to talk on a Sunday afternoon. Is this a red flag about company culture and not respecting weekend time? Or are they just in a big hurry and want to get my offer done quickly so they snag me before someone else?

For those of you who respond to emails saying you will “revert back” instead of just “revert”, what’s going on here? Do you have a word count you’re trying to meet?

If my firm violated employment law and now I want to leave, how do I negotiate/value a severance?

It’s really hard to be motivated today. I don’t know how I’ll be able to flip the switch back on in the new year.

If you had the opportunity to take 3-6 months off work right now, what would you do during that time?
