I'm a gov't attorney that really likes public and project finance. I'd like to specialize in these areas and realized that being in a firm may be the best way of doing so. Though I'm not interested in moving for another 24 months or so, how is the pivot from public to private practice? Also my ultimate goal is to be in-house with my govt experience and skills learned in private practice. Is this path unrealistic? Also, how long should I stay in private practice before moving to in-house?

What happens if you put in your two weeks right before your firm has firm wide holidays for 2 weeks?

Need advice. I’m at my first job in private accounting. Previous experience is as an auditor. I am struggling to figure out the way JEs are posted at my current company. It’s never straightforward even for simple entries. There’s things like settlements which confuse the crap out of me. I’m curious if it’s just my company or if every sophisticated accounting department will have non traditional ways of posting their journal entries.

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week.

I am lead counsel on a case - we’re suing 3 businesses and my supervisor is a named incorporator of one of the businesses although he is not an officer. He is asking me to bring the file and meet with him about the progress of the case. I reminded him of the conflict and he stated that the conflict was resolved because he also has a claim against 1 of the companies that he recently filed separately. I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?
