I'm on year 2 of my job in government. Almost all of my work still has to be reviewed by superiors. I had two years of experience prior to this. Is this normal? I'm transactional and we are facing budget cuts so I'm worried.

I think normal. I had almost all work reviewed by superior for like 4 years. It may be supervisor dependent

why is this an issue? every lawyer has their work looked at by someone else to ensure its well done. unless ur the only lawyer at a startup or a gc

I need perspective. I just think that it shows I'm less valuable and thus more disposable in the event of budget cuts.

I am on stage 4 of the hiring process for a job as a Sr Art Director for a CPG brand. I was given a project to develop a product launch. The directions are vague. There are so many ways I could take the project but I’m curious what kind of outline and level of depth you expect from a project like this? I was planning on doing research separately & share so they can see what I normally do, and then a deck showing visuals, mood boards, and messaging ideas etc. Does that seem right?

I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
