I’m pretty sure I’m about to get an offer from a new firm and will be leaving my current firm before the end of the year. In the meantime my current firm has been dumping more work on me for things that are expected to close before Dec. 31 (mostly b/c my firm keeps losing more and more associates each month). I feel bad saying yes to the work when I’m likely leaving soon, but I don’t want to tip my firm off before giving my official notice. Any advice?

Thought I was burnt out, but turns out it’s covid.

I’ve officially purchased my first luxury bag...I put in a reserve order for a speedy 35 from LV and I absolutely can’t wait for it to ship! Anyone else have experience with how long advanced orders take to ship? Or just have speedy love stories?

Had a historically fairly difficult student start back in our district today and he had an AWESOME day! Also, we’re supposed to get like 2 feet of snow tonight so the possibility of a snow day is high! One of the best starts to the new year in my whole career :) What good things happened to other teachers this week?

I constantly think back to my ex wife (ended 3 years ago) now that I’m in another serious relationship. I compare this one with that one and find myself missing what my ex and I had.

I’ve been interviewing at 2 companies & I got an offer today from 1 & I have an interview with the other on Friday. I think the 2nd company will have higher pay & it’s a better role. I want to keep both options open but I know that the 1st company is trying to get someone started quickly & I don’t want to lose the offer just in case the other falls through. Would it be ok to ask the 2nd company to move my interview up or should I just leave it & hold on accepting the 1st offer?

I’m known in my friend group for having great taste in music and playing amazing songs they’ve never heard. While my taste is definitely fire, I do source a lot of gems from a few Instagram accounts I follow. I feel like they would greatly benefit from knowing these accounts, but I remain a gatekeeper.

How is the ascend program training and internship in GL. Is it hybrid or wfh? How much increment do they give post training and internship?

Best big and mid size firms in Atlanta for real estate? When considering billable hours, comp, culture, etc. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone that generally likes their firm or has any recommendations on firms to stay away from. Considering making the move from a boutique firm as a 5th year lateral.

For those of you who started your own Trusts and Estates practice - what was the hardest when you first started?

Current bankruptcy clerk in a non-major market in the northeast. My term ends in April of next year and I’m starting to think about my next move. I follow the economy closely and know the general expectation is things will start to slow down/bankruptcies pick up again soon but I still don’t see many BK positions posted yet. I’m hoping to move back to Chicago and I was wondering if anyone in BL (Chicago or otherwise) have any insight into associate hiring in the next 8-12 months in RX/BK groups.

How should do you leave your firm? Letter or in person to supervising partner? I was recently offered a position which pays almost 40% higher doing exactly what I want to do (L&E). I have been at my current firm for about a year and I feel bad because they pay market rates and have treated me really well.

One thing I didn’t realize about actually practicing law was that you would moonlight as a therapist sometimes. I feel for some clients a lot but I always feel awkward after it gets more emotional for a large part of the convo.

Raises! Surprised I haven’t seen a thread about this yet. Seems like our salaries are keeping pace with inflation!

Is it normal for a partner to be a bit annoyed with an associate here and there?

Anyone else take the bar exam after practicing for a while? I took another state bar this past July and just remembered that I get my results tomorrow. Now I’m all distracted and worried I failed. Sometimes I really hate our profession 🙄

Just ruined my very expensive ergonomic wireless keyboard by dropping a gallon of coffee on it. How’s your day going

Why is this industry so damn nepotistic when it comes to schools

No.1 most frustrating aspect of practicing less than 2 years is reading job posts that ALL require 3 or more years of experience. How are we supposed to gain experience if we’re never given a chance?

How do you tow the fine line between sticking up for yourself and not talking back to a partner? For context, our firm has seemingly started making a paper trail for layoffs and I disagree with some of the emails that I have received. I want to respond in a way that covers my own ass. However, I don’t want to piss anyone off, especially if I have read the situation incorrectly.

Is it inappropriate to add a hiring manager on LinkedIn after your application was rejected? I plan on reapplying in the future.

Anybody who made the switch to L&E litigation early in their career have any regrets? Or has it opened up more opportunities for you in the future?

Has anyone here made the switch from litigation to transactional law? If so, any advice on how to market yourself to future employers?

Has anyone gotten a professional mortgage loan for lawyers? What lender did you use? What was the process like?

I’m interested in taking on a Pro Bono case through a nonprofit org, so should I disclose that I’m taking the case to my current employer (in house)? The case has no overlap with the field my company is in and I’ll be doing the work off the clock.

Does anyone have insight into midsize firms in Atlanta? Any that are a “must avoid”?

To experienced attorneys at large employers, has anyone tried starting a small side practice in a different area of law (wills & trusts, for example) and succeeded in building it out over time? Notwithstanding my present employer being happy/okay with this, curious as to the feasibility when I have no real experience in the practice area.
Would like a separate law-related side hustle to potentially build into my full time work down the road. Thanks.

I soon start my first real lawyer job in a midsize boutique in major market. Job description said it is a litigation associate position to handle “complex insurance coverage disputes.” What would be my career options after 3-4 years? I know the question is very broad.. but which areas generally welcome coverage attorneys?
