I work for primarily two partners.

One of the partners is really cool and easy to work with. The other partner who barely gives me work messed up and raised his voice at me in a way that is disrespectful. Once i raised my eyebrows out of surprise he brought his tone back down.

That said, i am out. I am not anyone’s doormat. As attorneys of color I feel we’re more susceptible to mistreatment and if we stick around then we’re inviting more mistreatment. Others have told me to stay but no.

This is for Amex folks.
How good is Program management role as compared to Product owner role? I have an opportunity to pick either of the two. Your thoughts?
a. In terms of growth in Amex ? (Currently I’m Band 30, asst manager )
b. In terms of exit opportunities down the line

Will we get salary credited tomorrow? 30th and 31st and weekends

I'm getting depressed day by day

I've decided to leave public for an Accounting Manager position in private. What are the different types of companies to consider and the pros/cons? What are the best ways to get the position? I'm leaning toward GL accounting at a publicly-traded company. My background is 3.5 years audit and 2.5 years technical accounting advisory.

Should you mark that an Employer should not be contacted if asked on application? EEOC Discrimination COMPLAINT FILED during Pandemic. Contract was not renewed!
Are past employers contacted without being listed as a reference?

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

Hey there - I recently moved from the States. Former PwC, currently in HF space. Would love to meet for coffee or drinks if anyone’s interested

Is the 2018 Macan turbo w perf. Pkg the best Macan ever made?

Why not cancel federal taxes on unemployment compensation? Aren’t a lot of stimmy checks just going to be returned back to the government to pay this tax?

As glad as I am that Minnesota is moving so quickly to charge Potter, I can't help but wonder if she were a man if they would be doing so with the same enthusiasm.

Thinking out loud, not starting a debate.

Really don’t understand people who defend the Chicago cops. The teenager at no point tried to threaten them and we encourage gun ownership in this country.

For those that have physical gold in their portfolio, what do you buy? What do you think is the best value? Coins? Bars? Other? And what weight increments do you usually buy?

Does Deloitte provide cab facility?

Just heard FY23 partners at PwC are getting only 40 shares vs.60 last year. Looks like new partners are being shown the middle finger by Tim Ryan in favor of increasing stock price and getting more catalyst hires. Sucks!!

At what age did you stop comparing yourself to others and became comfortable with your own path? I can’t stop comparing myself to others who come from more wealth, have more wealth, and are better looking than me. Also have a history of self loathing which doesn’t help.

Did anyone from your past tell you you wouldnt make it as a lawyer? Did you ever rub it in their face later that you in fact did?? 😂

Anyone in this bowl based in Central Florida that would like to connect?

A partner just walked from his office. By passed 4 or 5 people who are generally more knowledgeable on our banking logistics straight to the only black support staff employee to@ask if today is a bank holiday.

I am so tired of getting mixed up with the other black female associate at my firm. Sigh.

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢

I’m a woman of color and my legal assistant is a white man…this feels…good?

How do I professionally decline a second interview? I know for sure I don’t want to work at the firm.

My work quality is slipping due to brain fog and mental health issues and I don’t know how to address it with my firm or who to go to. I was considered one of the best associates in our practice group, but now it can take me 3-4x the time to write an average brief. I can’t seem to think and organize my thoughts any more. This is incredibly scary bc obvi, that’s what this job is all about. I’m in IP litigation at a V50 firm and a mom. Do I raise it with partners and how?

Does anyone in this group have ADHD? Are you finding that working in a law firm setting and billing hours is just not something they can do or is it possible with the proper medication and therapy?

I don’t cut my hours, I consistently reach 7 hours a day, but it’s not enough to meet my firm’s minimum requirement. I’m usually working 9 hours/day.

Thinking of pivoting from insurance defense to something more meaningful and (dare I say it) with more work life balance. Currently in my 7th year of practice and am just tired of ID. Anyone make the transition? Any advice?

I handleda very difficult and convoluted succession for a black family. My client was astute and intelligent. We got along great. His family was difficult. Willfully ignorant.

Part of the succession dealt with clawing back $450,000 in insurance proceeds that a niece fraudulent received from the decedent by making herself the beneficiary on policies. A separate attorney was hired to handle that part before I was hired to handle all other matters, including settling a $500,000 debt with the...

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Anyone feel like your job sees you as "one of the good ones?" It hasn't explicitly been said, but I'm one of the only Black attorneys at the firm and I think my white colleagues and partners see me as an example of how Black folks "should be" cause I mind my business. Basically I feel like a token, and I don't know how to shift that idea while staying professional.

Any one here based out in the Middle East? If so, what's your experience. Would you recommend it. I am 32F - African Descent planning to relocate to the UAE.

What is the starting Salary for entry level insurance defense attorney in NYC area?

I feel like I'm going through really bad imposter syndrome, How do you manage it ?
