Pitch work is usually the most fun work we do because there are so many fewer don’ts and because the asks are bigger. I’ll definitely take a pitch over a stitch.

I'm surprised so many people like pitches. If they're poorly managed they make you want to hurt something. And they're usually poorly managed. You've gotta really hate your nights and weekends if you like pitching.

I am a new attorney at a small ID firm but one one of the partners does business law as well. I referred a potential client for business services but I haven’t not done any business work yet. Should I expect to get in on the work if they sign on or will I stay with what they have me doing with insurance?

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!
