I’m interviewing 2Ls for a summer associate position at my firm, and today I received a cover letter that was FOUR pages long and went on and on about the kid’s medical history from high school and beyond, dropping in the fact that he lost his mother at a young age, and saying that this was why his grades were low. Mind you, his transcript wasn’t required to be sent so I wouldn’t have known he had bad grades. He didn’t even say anything about the position! It read like a college entrance essay 😵‍💫

Just received my offer from Uber. Is it normal for recruiters to play hard ball when it comes to comp? I feel like what I was offered for the role was low, and he made it seem like it was non negotiable. (They don’t decide this, do they?) I’m afraid if I counter they will go for someone else but I’m just not happy with it overall.

Initial offer: Account Exec, base 45k. No sign on bonus.

I am a career nanny who previously owned and operated her own nanny referral agency in Hawaii for five years...then Covid came along and wiped it right out of business since March 2020. I feel like my entire identity has been taken from me especially with Covid and vaccine mandates. I'm not looking to go 20 years backwards-I no longer want to be the nanny and work that hard however nothing interests me! I really don't want to go back to school and thousands of dollars in loans etc. etc.

I’m a 28 year old male, living with gf. I think I’ve got covid - very feverish, cough, hot and cold sweats, pains etc. When I get sick I turn into a massive baby - definition of “man flu”. Is this a massive problem for women (ie a big turn off)? Luckily I only get sick once every 2-3 years, but this feels awful and I’m being a massive sook and I can’t help it lol…

I just received my Security+ cert and I’m about to graduate with my masters in applied intelligence.

Thank you in advance.

In your honest opinion, do you think your HR certification was worth it? I personally think certifications are a scam. 😅

I rarely have been asked about my certs in interviews and I never ask about certs when I'm interviewing.

Let’s take a poll: What do you love/hate about your position in Insurance? I’ll go first:

Florida PIP Litigation 1+yrs at Progressive

Love: WFH, Flexibility of not being “chained to desk” all day because I don’t have to take outside customer calls, ability to complete work assigned at any time of day within 72hrs, no micromanaging from my Supervisor, feeling like I’m my own boss

Hate: getting assigned bulks from others and it throws off efficiency of reviewing suits, monotony, depositions

I’m a Junior product manager with a Master’s in Healthcare Management. I feel like the current company that I am at has my title as JPM, but I am doing PM work i.e creating product roadmaps, collaborating across stakeholders (business, marketing, design teams), creating user stories/features, etc. and I feel like my work isn’t being valued and I’m constantly being micromanaged by business teams expectations.

How feasible is it for me to apply to a PM role with less than a year of experience?

Any thoughts on when making a lateral move as a mid-level litigation associate will be feasible again? I want to make a change, but (for obvious reasons) I worry firms may not be looking for any more mouths to feed at this time.

I report to an MP and Sr associate, both of whom work from home 2+days/week. I know they’ve “earned the right” but at what point is this lack of leadership counterproductive to first year development

Any firms in Chicago open to junior lit to corporate retool candidates? Willing to start as a first year, am currently in BL, and have decent creds. Appreciate any intel, thanks in advance!

As many of you know, NY canceled the September Bar Exam, leaving 2020 graduates like me wondering, ‘Now What’? If NY adopts diploma privilege, (which I doubt), how do already admitted attorneys feel about hiring 2020 grads who could be admitted without taking the bar exam?

Anyone else completely over doing work when it's your first day back from vacation?

4th year big law associate here (the most jr. of the group). I feel as if I’m treated as a senior associate’s personal assistant. Constantly asked to prepare signatures packets for one off documents, compile one off documents, etc. all for deals I’m not even on. I feel I shouldn’t be doing these administrative things at my level but maybe I’m being a brat. Curious to know what types of work — from a responsibility standpoint — other big law midlevel associates are doing. Thoughts?

Firm lists sense of humor as a requirement in a job posting. Even weirder because it’s sandwiched between professional reqs like yrs of experience, excellent research/writing skills etc). Do you think it’s indicative of anything cultural? I do have an interview next week so I’m def gonna ask about culture and retention.

PLEASE HELP! I’m a first year commercial litigation associate at a boutique firm. I am deciding between two offers. One is to go in-house paying roughly the same as I make now. The second offer is from big law as a commercial real estate associate, paying double.

I would love to go in-house and never worry about billable hours again but the big law money is super tempting. Advice?? Is the money really worth it?

Am I the only one left at the end of the month trying to bill 10hour days to meet hours because I slacked off at the beginning of the month? It’s a vicious cycle. Then the end of the month hits and I’m so exhausted that I need to take it was the next week... and the cycle continues

My firm has a 9-year partnership track as of a year or two ago. It has grown quickly from 5 to 7 to 9 in the past 10 or so years. In the written document that sets out the criteria for partnership, it basically says that your billable hours need to go up every year. Our minimum is 1900. I’m wondering how normal this increasing billables requirement is? I am torn between thinking it’s sensible and thinking it’s another example of law firms treating associates like machines.

Prepping to interview for an associate corporate counsel position at a construction co. I have limited experience repping a small manufacturing Corp. How to convince them to take a chance on me?

Midlevel Corp NYC big law. Received a mixed bag review during mid-year review. Even positive and negative. My reviews over the years have had peaks and valleys. Worried about consistency. Should I dip or at least start talking to recruiters? Didn’t get an action plan or anything but it was a “developmental message.” Besides obviously internalizing and correcting to get better- thoughts on whether I should start looking?

1st year associate (NY) thinking about lateraling into a large insurance defense firm from Municipal work/L&E, pay jump 75 to 125 and hybrid as opposed to fully in office. Basically is the pay jump/hybrid worth giving up current practice area to ID? If it turns out I hate ID, thoughts on leveraging the litigation experience and substantive knowledge of L&E to then lateral again within 2 years?

Probably a long shot, but anyone in here practice in South Dakota? Thinking about moving back home to Rapid City, but have no idea salary range I would be looking at.

When is it normal for the monthly billable hour requirement to count for first year associates? (Started mid Sept).

I’d never really looked at my billing stats until today, ie the nitty gritty (second year, AMLAW lit) — I have a 98% realization ratio. Feeling pretty good about my revenue generation and the fact that I’m about to put in my notice and go make that sweet revenue for another firm.
