I’m a mid to late 20s fresh attorney. I work and network in a new city. Got to know one my law firm boss’s friend (also an attorney in his early 40s but in a different practice) who is a lot friendly to me? He asks me out to lunch and texts me personally. I get we are all adults here and it’s an off leash ball park, but it also feels weird.

If you’re uncomfortable with it, then set boundaries. Keep conversations brief. Don’t entertain lunches. Keep any conversations strictly professional. A man in his early 40s chasing 20-year-olds does so because women his own age don’t want him. Don’t entertain man-children. Know your worth and trust your instincts. If it feels off, it’s because it is.

Thank you. Unfortunately, it’s borne out of personal experience.

Sorry you’re in this position. I would keep it strictly professional and stop responding to anything past that. He’ll get the hint. The piece where it’s your bosses friend makes it creepier.

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I want to know why recruiters ask me in an interview if I am looking at other opportunities, or if I am interviewing at other companies. If I say yes they will ask at what stage I am.

I just want to know the reason behind it and if there is a right answer to this question!

Hey, another question for y’all. How should I reach out to a recruiter who offered me a full time position but I rejected for a better offer? At the time I was offered the position my main concern was lack of guidance/support from leadership. Now, a year later I have experience being in a role with limited over site (not as scary as I initially thought it would be) and feel confident I would excel in the role I rejected. How would you approach this situation? Thanks in advance!!

So I’m in my second trimester. Everything has come back normal and great. Anatomy scan went beautifully.

I don’t think they’re Braxton hicks it feels more like period cramps I’ve experienced before. Anyone else experience this? Is it normal? Can I take something for the pain?
