Is anyone hiring for junior corporate roles in NYC? I’m stuck with an extremely abusive partner and I’m just about at my breaking point. Willing to retool to almost any transactional practice area at this point just to get out. Appreciate any leads

Best if you can hang in there until you're 3rd year -- if not, get busy doing networking events, seminars, business development opportunities and you'll be more plugged in to open or potential spots.

Hi everyone,
I was working on a function app based on Azure. I am facing an issue while run/test code in function app: internal server error 500.

Is it also related to the registered app with Microsoft graph Api which have delegated permissions? Struggling to find a solution.

How do you approach a firm recruiting you when you weren't looking to move? It would be similar work, but I could negotiate a significant salary boost which would help my family reach financial goals faster. I like everything about my firm, but the pay is on the low side. I've never interviewed when I wasn't eager to leave my current job, and I'm uncertain how to discuss that with the recruiter & interviewer. I want to leverage it, but don't want to sound greedy.

If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
