I’m due to qualify as a Solicitor in 6 months and in two minds.

Do I stay on, get the qualified experience then look for a new job (purely for exposure) or should I take a career break for 6 months. I’ve heard it’s harder to get a job after a break.

Just want to hear some outside noise on the topic - no special reason for either decision.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

Girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me right before we were supposed to leave the state and move in together. We broke up about 4 months ago. I couldn’t demonize her, so I’m still struggling with processing it and idk what to do. I’ve been looking into therapy, but I can only do online which leaves me hesitant. Any advice would be appreciated.

There are many resources on good legal writing (Garner, Guberman, etc). Can anyone recommend a good resource on effective appellate oral advocacy?

Can anyone please help me in the salary range for test lead in Coforge with 9 yrs experience…
Am awaiting HR round and this would really help., thank you

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

I’m at a mid size transactional firm. I’m a total night owl and my partners have OK’d me starting the workday at around 11am because I regularly work until midnight or later. I get so much more done after dark! I still get some side eye from other associates, but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Does anyone else here have an unusual work schedule? Curious what adjustments you’ve made to make it work.
