If I go away for the weekend but am still available to work remotely, do I have to let my team know? Pre-covid?

Hi everyone! In addition to my consulting job, I’ve been editing resumes / cover letters on the side for years. I’ve been offering my services free of charge for those who have been laid off due to COVID—19, and have edited 350 resumes since the start of the pandemic. It’s been an awesome way to give back during this strange time. I’m now building a team to help me expand this initiative—if you’re interested, feel free to PM me!

Question for all of those caring for COVID patients. My hospital has started considering positive patients as “negative” after 21 days of hospitalization regardless of how they test. Removing isolation completely. I’m extremely uncomfortable with this, is this the norm now??

I just had a doc appointment and as I was walking up, I noticed 4 staff members with their masks completely pulled down below their chins until they saw me approaching. They then pulled their masks up but it made me uncomfortable. If masks are required in doctors offices, shouldn’t they remain on all the time even if patients aren’t in the immediate vicinity? Especially since covid can last in the air for hours. I’m vaccinated but higher risk

Is Gary Vee still saying that all of their layoffs were not covid related? Vayner folks, is that true?

Anyone knows if I need a Covid test if I fly within Europe?
I’m planning on flying from the us to Vienna (need a negative test) spend few days there then fly to Venice. Do I need to be tested again in Vienna before flying to Venice?
TY

My COVID playlist has gotten consistently more aggressive as I head to work each day. Started with classical, and now it's mostly deep house and punk rock

What types of threats are your organizations seeing a rise in since COVID-19 and WFH?

I’ve been working at my current job for going on four years now. After COVID I took on a lot of responsibility at work and was given a promotion to senior case manager. I’ve trained several new case managers, took on a lot of responsibilities and I am considered the backbone of my site by my supervisor who works remotely. I’ve tried to ask for a raise on several occasions but I was told that it’s not in the budget every time. What should I do?im 28, should I just take my experience elsewhere?

Tror ni möjligheten att wfh kommer bestå post-covid? Jag trivs ganska bra med det. Hade gärna gjort det någon gång i veckan.

Asking for a Fordham Media Studies graduate! What are the best ways of getting into the industry now? It's incredibly hard for graduates because of Covid.

Got laid off due to COVID and have been struggling to find a job. I wasn’t happy and my mgmt sucked so this is a good thing. Now I really hate the idea of working for a company. I know everyone works and I’m not a genius who can just start a scalable biz. But I just can’t get my head around the idea of doing something I hate for a paycheck. All these years of busy seasons burnt me out. Struggling in between doing something I enjoy for less pay and taxes for more pay.

Hello All
I am 28ish year old
BE Comp Engg 2016 graduate
33 months work experience in a start up
MBA from one of the premier institute 2021 graduate
Obviously due to COVID the offer I got was around 15LPA

I am planning to switch jobs
And I am wondering what exactly should be my ask?
I have seen my peers earning quiet well and I was thinking for someone with my profile atleast 22 to 24LPA can be my ask.

It will be my first job switch
So I need some suggestions
Thank you

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

Any parents who are still on the safe side with Covid? We have a 1 year old and being safe and staying mostly home is really getting to me. Most of our friends have kids who are able to mask up or are vaccinated and it’s getting quite isolating. Especially now mask mandates are being lifted feeling like we can’t go anywhere without risking our kid.

Would you leave your job if they forced you to come in to the office during peak COVID cases??

Hi Fishes,

I am currently undergoing a recruitment exercise for the role of Senior Principal, Research with the Peers & Practitioners team at Gartner India Research & Advisory Services. My current work exp is 5 years across 2 big 4s and a KPO in India. How much hike should I quote if I clear the interviews here? Presently my CTC is around early INR1000Kp.a. Also are they giving options of a permanent WFH post covid? If not can I work from some other office such as HYD, BLR instead of NCR?

I have an H1b which I received in 2019 and was valid till august2021, due to covid I wasn't able to travel and then I switched to another firm last year in November. If I get visa transfer, will it provide me a validity back as I haven't used any on site time on that visa.

TIA

I am bored out of my ever loving mind. No heavy incentive to look for work just yet due to COVID in my area + I’m not really sure what position to even look for since I don’t want to go back into PA. You can only scroll through social media and news so many hours of the day. I’ve cleaned. I’ve FT dated. I’ve read. And read. And read. I’ve done the self makeover/reflection thing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Someone please tell me that I can get a rear facing child seat in the back of a mustang… otherwise it looks like I’ll have to buy a new family car to drive the little one around (wife doesn’t drive unfortunately).

Could be a good excuse to get a Taycan but was hoping I could just stick with my mustang. We said next car will be an EV didn’t think it would be so soon though!

Hi I am a new teacher intern hired yesterday. I will be teaching second grade. School reopens on Aug 17. I do not have my own materials. I do not know what materials are there in my classroom.

I appeared for a telephonic hearing to set a trial date but the judge and opposing counsel had no idea I had appeared because there was apparently another code you had to enter to unmute yourself.

Anyone seeing a slow down yet? I swear I’m getting busier. Haven’t not billed 50+ hours in 6 weeks. Litigation/regulatory work but nothing easy like doc review 😫

I’m a bit afraid of jumping on the “hot market” lateral gravy train and be the first one to be let go when things cool down. Am I overthinking this?

Hi all! Staff Attorney who was hired to do something very specific at a BL firm. My manager has been very restrictive in what I’m allowed to do for fear that it’ll get in the way of my speciality work, even though all the partners and associates love me and are always asking me to work on deals with them. Because it’s been slow my hours have been down and my manager is back tracking and saying that I can do whatever I want. What do I when it comes to review time?

Is it a red flag if during an interview the partner asks how your billable hours were last year? Could be just a standard question but I wasn’t sure.. I’ve never been asked that before in interviews.

22 year old considering law school / a potential career in law. The contents of this bowl tend to be pretty disheartening :( Anyone here who really loves the work? Who has found decent work life balance? In your experience, are there alternatives to big law that are stimulating, decently well-paying, but not quite so onerous?

Anybody own a classic or exotic car? What year make/model is it? Would you recommend it to others, or is there a different classic car you’d rather have?

If you don’t have 8 hours of billable time a day, do you leave as is or do you fill in the gap with non-billable work? While I am in the office, I don’t always get the billable amount since I don’t have enough work. Seems like a waste of time to enter non-billable time just to fill in the gap but I also don’t want them to think I am not there and slacking off.

What’s the norm?

Can anybody explain how Proskauer’s “Sports Group” works? Is it a separate practice group? Or is it just a sub-group of various practices (M&A, finance, etc.) that focuses on sports clients?

0 billable hours this week. I’m a recent corporate lateral (2 months) and have reached out to the work coordinator and other partners/counsel but still nothing - should I be concerned?

Anyone here who considered/worked in consulting (MBB/T2) before law school? What was the reason you decided to commit to the law route given fairly similar pay yet arguably better WLB, exit ops, and more stimulating work?

Mid-level associate in top 50 ALM. I’m exhausted. My client got a new contact, and I now dislike the client. I have had maybe three days off this entire year. I’m in a niche market, so it’ll be so difficult — if not impossible — to find another job. I should be happy: My firm loves me, they want me to be partner (so they say), manage a large book, well-paid, etc. Anyone else going through the emotions? How are you getting through it?

Does anybody know if WilmerHale would consider hiring a 2019 as remote/almost all remote (meaning work at home and come in when truly necessary but not just X number of days a week without a reason)?

Any insight greatly appreciated!

Does anyone here use a ReMarkable 2 for note taking in a legal context? Thoughts/reviews? Thanks!
