Email your portfolio. Honestly, those stunts are rarely received well. What’s your idea for the self promo?

Also most agencies can’t/won’t legally accept or open any emails with “ideas” for existing clients, opens them up to litigation

“We cannot accept unsolicited ideas."

Don’t send unsolicited work. You can ask someone to have coffee and being your book, and that’s a million times better than an unsolicited resume email or - worse - Office drop in

Like, an idea for a brand they work on? Send it to the CD who’s in charge of that brand. Look up past work from awards and you’ll find the CD name. Then you can look up any email address from the company to find their email format. Good luck!

I mean a self promo to get a job

Ok, maybe this has been done before, but I want to get a real life sense of the difference between EPLI and Private L&E (management side) practices. Let's do a poll:

1.) Primary source of business: EPLI or Private Companies?

2.) Number of matters you are currently working on

3.) Average billable rate (your year)

4.) Normal working hours/wk

5.) Percentages: Litigation vs Counseling

6.) Type of firm: ID, Big 4, Boutique, BigLaw, etc.

I'll kick things off in comments.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
