I’m on week 3 of being without a job after not being hired back at my firm after articling. I’ve been speaking/networking to lawyers almost every day but I’m feeling pretty defeated already. I’m interested in commercial real estate/ development/ and infrastructure and construction law. Just feel like it’s going to be hard to get my foot in any door related to that after only articling.

Has anyone here considered leaving healthcare altogether? I am really drawn by a role in tech, but I know it's such a big leap. I have a friend who did this though, and she is making even more than I have made as a travel nurse. Is it an anomaly or a real possibility?

Hi all. I am licensed in life, accident and health and am looking for new opportunities. I’ve been working in employee benefits in a small brokerage firm on a book of business of over 400 clients, I’m the only account manager. We’ve had 100% employer retention since I’ve been here. I am a high performer, but not sure I’m valued much at all . I want to reach the top and become partner in my career ; this is why I went to work for a small firm. My boss favors others when I do the most work!!

7th year of H1b and have I140 PD in June 2020 (Chinese)... getting tired of my current job and want to do a MBA then switch career. Is it still possible?

Do you regret getting a PhD?

(38F). My boyfriend (39M) after 2 years together (long distance but travel to one another and spend time), suddenly told me he wants to try to be a musician again. He did this in his 20s , failed and started his corporate career at 26. He’s a Senior Manager in Fl but i personally feel is underpaid. He was supposed to move in to my place in September and start living together. I initially told him I would support his music on the side while he pursues his corporate career full time. *Cntd below*

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

Remote Opportunities have declined hugely since the last 2 quarters. Most of IT companies are calling back their people. It's strange that if work can be done from anywhere, and an employee turned more productive by working from home, why are companies still doing that.
Seems like this will be the reason of paradigm shift from fulltime jobs to gig. Lately, companies will have to accept it, and they'll hire talent on pure contract or project basis.


Any opinions?

Anyone else *not* surprised that Bros flopped at the Box Office? I think it’s considered one of the worst openings ever. There are so many things you could’ve done with an all-LBGT+ cast, but you resorted to a movie centered around two meh white guys obsessed with physical appearance and sex. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Normal to ask for a bonus during a mid year review? For context, I work at a small (20ish attorney) law firm in a major market. The firm said this is the first year they are doing mid year reviews for associates. I’m a first year, 9 months into the job.

Any insight into BraunHagey & Borden in SF?

Just lateraled and looks like I’ll be taking on a sizeable privacy practice from an associate who left recently. Any benefit to CIPP and CIPM training/certification as a lawyer? In DC if that matters.

Biggest mistake you made in practice and what the end result was. I f*cked up pretty bad (1st year associate, and no it wasn’t a typo in a motion) and I need some perspective.

Does anyone who is newer to the profession like going into the office? I’ve been remote for my first year of practice. I got an offer for a firm that requires face time 3-4 days a week. I hate my current firm and love a lot of things about the firm I got an offer from, but the lack of flexibility scares me. I’m quite introverted so I think working in office could be good for my development long term. Thoughts?

New Orleans attorneys: what is standard salary and billable requirement for insurance defense firms? We’re 1950 hours. Associates make $80k - $123k. We have 25-50 attorneys.

Am I making enough profit for my firm?

I became a 2 year lawyer in September. I started working at my firm, a mid-sized firm practicing commercial business litigation and PI, in March of 2020. Last year I made the firm $180k from my billable hours and I was paid $85k + full health and other benefits.

This year, I'm on track to make about $150k and to make the firm about $450k from my billable hours and PI cases that I originated and settled.

Trying to do right for my firm. I'm treated well.
