I’m at JL and all I do is EPLI work. Do other big 4 do less EPLI or is it all the same?

Echo A1. Moved from 80%+ EPLI at JL to <5% at littler.

The other Big 4 do significantly less EPLI work than JL.

I rarely did EPLI work at littler. Maybe I had 1-3 EPLI cases in my caseload at all times.

like

I do minimal EPLI at FP. Some people do more. Develop a practice that isn't usually covered by EPLI -- restrictive covenants, W&H, advice, etc.

like

My experience at OD varies. Some years it’s as little as 5%, some years it’s as high as 25-30%. Never 80% though that sounds miserable.

like

Then why doesn’t Littler pay significantly more? EPLI rates are like 1/3 my rate now.

like

JL is the lowest paying Big 4 by far.

like

I didn’t have much EPLI at Littler but I did mostly labor, W&H and some other matters that aren’t covered by EPLI.

like

What year are you? Currently at JL and I would say my cases are like 30% EPLI, 70% non EPLI. It really depends on years out/your office dynamic. But if you’d like to do less EPLI consider adding in some wage and hour cases, joining the class action PG, etc.

like

You can message me directly if you wanna talk more but I’m a 6th year with only 2.5 years at JL. The best thing to do is bring it up to your OMP at your midyear. But for me I just kept bugging the partner who did wage & hour and bringing it up during my evaluations to get more of that work. And I’m also pretty vocal about the non-litigation work I want to do

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
