I’m a 4th year at an Am100 doing litigation. I don’t think I want to play into the system for long term (partnership) and have always dreamed of going on my own. Has anyone made that leap? (Cont...)

I got a job offer for what seems to be a great company but I’m not sure if I would have the same life balance. I started interviewing as a way to see my worth in the industry. My current role is at a small company, and I’m not sure how I could grow within the role because Im not advancing my skill, I just do the same thing every day at a lower level. I like my current role because it’s flexible and I’m paid well for not doing very much work. Should I switch to a more rigorous job?

Where do you turn for mentorship if your workplace is toxic and you don’t have an obvious former colleague to turn to? Trying to help my friend navigate their career next steps but realize they don’t have a mentor, that’s something that’s been incredibly valuable for my career development. Where does an early 30s guy go to get some coaching?

Is it true that once you go in-house, its impossible to go back to an agency? Has anyone ever done this?

Solo that has outgrown DIY document management/billing. Looking to make the leap to an integrated document management and billing software system. Clio is the front runner based on my research to date (I have not yet taken it for the free test drive). Anyone else have any recommendations? Any obvious shortcomings/downfalls with Clio? I worked at large firms before going it alone and have used several of the major doc management systems. Thanks!

What is the best way to begin a transition from a help desk job to an actual career path in IT? I’m getting close to being at my current job for a year, however I have a lot of experience in the tech field, which is what landed me this job without any actual IT background. I definitely feel over qualified and under paid in the position I am in now, and looking for the next step towards an IT career. Any advice would not fall on deaf ears. TIA

Anyone gone from EY Tech Consulting to Alvarez & Marsal CPI? What was your experience?

Long-time sales operations/compensation professional, who loves their team & company but has recently realized they are really turned on by enterprise-level operational efficiency opportunities. Passively considering making the jump to this being an official role. Often think of it as building out an internal strategic consultant group, flying around the org and choosing projects to streamline employee experience, free up capacity of teams to enable their ability to go and create value (cont'd)

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone here has had a great week! I am new to the healthcare field and fishbowl. I recently started a position for a large hospital in my area that is struggling to recruit Music/Art Therapists.

I am hoping to educate myself and gain information and valuable resources to better aid me in my career. Are there any Music/Art Therapists in this fishbowl or anyone that can give me insight as to the requirements for this specialization?

Kind regards,

MM WM - 8 YoE
Ewm - 3 YoE

Does anyone have any thought on JD/MBA programs? I really like Kellogg’s shorter 3 year program vs a full four at HBS or some of the other schools but wanted to see if anyone else was in the same boat.

My undergrad degree is in gov but I currently working on consulting for PE right now, with dream goal to end up in VC or PE post-MBA. Practice tests have gone well for both GRE & LSAT but lower GPA from a public Ivy, so not sure what’s feasible.

Hello I currently work in a parts department of a dealership, with no room for advancements. Is there anyone with any advice or expertise, that could help me advance or advice to help choice a career within the same realm with the option of advancement?

ZS 🐠 - I have 3 YOE in LS consulting, currently a C and was up for SC this year but promos were rejected across my entire group. Looking at some roles at ZS and curious what level would be reasonable for me to “lateral” to given I’m performing as an SC but my job title is still C 😒. Bonus points if you have insights into the value & access group (WLB, comp, projects, hate your peers, etc.). Thanks!

Hi,
I'm an immediate joiner. I have 3+ yrs experience in AWS, python, docker technologies. Please let me know if there are any open positions or any other leads for AWS Developer. (I haven't been getting any calls from naukri and other job portals.)

Nothing is stopping this bull market. We are going to ATH with massive unemployment.

Other than the S&P 500 what other safe options do people invest in? Currently, maxing out 401(K).

Anyone ever use AdvisorStream? Curious your thoughts on the service...

How do I leave my role as someone on the talent team. I am on a small recruitment team of only a few people, who connect daily. I am also responsible for sending out updates tracking new hires and upcoming leavers (aka I would be on this list if i decide to leave). If I am looking to leave my company, considering all of these things, how do I do it in the least awkward, most professional way possible? I want to put in at least a two week notice, but will continuing my work after that be weird?

Anybody can refer for a broadcasting company job, a marketing post, or something in the office? I'm located in downtown Toronto and looking for a job with better pay and nearer my home. I currently work for a doggy daycare 20+kms away. New to Canada.

I've decided it's impossible to try and get my immigrant father to understand what I do as a transactional in-house lawyer. Every conversation about work goes like this (cont)

I’m not even American and absolutely caught up with all the election talk. I don’t know how anyone in the States is billing today lol.

Anyone work with an absolutely miserable fellow associate? Partners I can handle (and the ones I work for are respectful) but I work with a peer who is just a psycho.

I’d love to hear about the careers of anyone using their law degree in an “atypical” way - not practicing as a lawyer, or a lawyer in a way many wouldn’t think of? I’m in my third year at a mid-size firm and realized quickly that I have no desire to have a billable hour requirement for my whole career. Interested in hearing paths others have taken!

Curious about non-US attorneys: are you working the crazy hour weeks most of us in the US do? Or are your weeks closer to 40 hours? I hear a lot about the working hour caps, vacation requirements, etc in Europe/Canada. Curious if that flows into legal practice... or if it gets ignored. To clarify—I’m talking about BigLaw. I’m sure there are smaller firms with reasonable hours, the same exists in the US.

I’m on vacation. How do you resist the urge to check your email every 5 minutes?

Partners, do y’all actually have your shit together? Or have you gotten really good at hiding that you’re also making it all up as you go along?

If you were to transition out of law entirely, what would you do instead?

My mid-sized firm furloughed most of its staff. Im a first year associate (7 months in) with not that many billable hours. What are the chances I’m next? So much paranoia!

Does anyone who is newer to the profession like going into the office? I’ve been remote for my first year of practice. I got an offer for a firm that requires face time 3-4 days a week. I hate my current firm and love a lot of things about the firm I got an offer from, but the lack of flexibility scares me. I’m quite introverted so I think working in office could be good for my development long term. Thoughts?

New first year here (aka started three weeks ago) and my senior that I’ve been working with primarily has been so, so nice. I even messed something up (not a huge deal, but definitely still an inconvenience) and she just said no worries, we will figure it out that’s my bad for missing it when reviewing. Just wanted to express a general appreciation for everyone who is patient with juniors like me. Anything I can do (other than saying thanks) to express appreciation for all the help?

Some smart corporate fish here surely have a resource that can explain to a dummy the whole S Corp vs. PC vs. PLLC. Why would a solo practitioner pick one over the others? Assume the state makes all available.

Just saw colleagues's file name is "OSC" for an Order to Show Cause. I thought "OSC really just means WTF in legalese" then laughed to myself for a solid 5 min... am I cracked? Need sleep send help

Anyone else going to the NAPABA conference in November? Also, let me know if it makes sense to have a WhatsApp thread or something like this in case anyone is interested in grabbing a drink or not talking about work/networking 1000% of the time.

How to transition from law to policy think tank?

Does anyone know of recruiting firms with a focus on Anti-money laundering? I’m foreign educated and newly admitted NY attorney with CAMS certification but living in Miami lol. I’m here, because my husband practices in SoFlo. Any recommendations? I don’t have any experience but have CAMS.
