I work at an AM200 and actually like it. They keep saying the work is fast placed but I'm not seeing it. I'm used to getting s case and cranking out document production and file management. I've got one partner that is not happy about my billing narratives but I fear I'm too simple in how I speak to create something better. I've tried using other people's narratives and still end up on his bad side. Any advice? I'm new to civil lit.

Are you writing out your billing entries in complete sentences with punctuation? Write detailed descriptions in a sentence of the work you have performed.

Have you checked out how this partner bills? That might help you. Check his style and copy it.

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).

Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.
