I’m a senior associate at a mid-sized L&E firm, and I can’t help but notice a pattern—every high-stakes trial, major client pitch, or “big” matter goes to the male attorneys. Meanwhile, I get tapped for internal investigations, trainings, and compliance reviews. I do them well, but it’s not where the glory or promotions are. I know I’m just as qualified, but I’m tired of being the “reliable support” while others get to shine. Do I push back and risk being labeled “difficult,” or is it time to look elsewhere?

Any news about promotions any deadline?

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

Has anyone recently attended a TCS Data science interview?

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration. Some of these matters are multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant cases, but none are class actions. This does not include any matters I am handling in the charge stage or in pre-litigation. Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
