Is there any way to confidentially apply for a job within your own firm? I’m current assigned to a particular office but I want to apply for a fully remote job with a different practice group within the same firm.

Brilliant. I’m going to go this route

When I tried to switch practice groups within my firm, I talked to people in the firm about it. I didn’t keep it confidential. That being said, my firm has a good track record of attorneys switching practice groups, so I wasn’t worried about any negative repercussions.

Good luck!

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
