I’m in final rounds for an in house position, but it’s mostly contract work. I’m coming from a lit background, so some contract work, but not drafting and red lining. What are the most practical guides/resources to brush up with.

What A1 said. I started with a lit background too and signed up for all the free resources I could. If there’s another contracts-focused attorney where you’re going, should also take some time to learn from them your company’s best practices and how they usually redline.

Hi all, wanted to get opinions/advice. If rejected for position, would you then reach out directly to hiring manager to ask for reconsideration or similar over email? If so what would you ask?

Ps. When I followed up on candidacy they were still making decision for weeks. I let them know I had another opportunity hoping it would hurry them up and ended up not taking the other opportunity. Could it be they rejected me bc of the other offer? The hiring manager seemed to think I’d be a great fit.

Been in house for about a year. I just found out that a new hire who has 1-2 less years of experience than me (but will have the same role/title as me) received a compensation package significantly higher than me, mostly due to the market dynamics with law firm associates’ compensation being ratcheted up the past year. Can I ask for an equitable raise mid year? And if so, how? I got rave reviews but an immaterial pay bump (3%) at year end in December.

I really want to get a second job but I am scared of losing my current one. Both companies are in same field, although not direct competitors so I know it’s technically “not allowed” however, this is the only way for me to get that $$ since I am not paid all that well.

Of course I won’t tell a single friend/coworker. Only my partner. And I don’t post work stuff on social media.

Do we know if there is a sponsoring partner that oversees this benefit/ program that I could have more of a heart to heart conversation with?

However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…
