Tips for negotiating salary as a recent grad consultant (1 year consulting experience, plus internships) when moving to industry and new firms?

I work at a small agency. I asked for a raise and was told you can get one in a few months if you do X,Y,Z but also keep in mind you make (on the low end of) what your position should make.

My question is—I wear many hats within my agency because we’re small and growing—So while I may be an art director, when needed I’m also a PA, or a production designer etc... SO shouldn’t my salary reflect that??

How does KPMG handle raises? Are they based on service lines? I’ve been hired into a small service line at KPMG that is fairly new and wondering if for raises this will be a downside

I’ve been working for this company for 4 years. The raises I got were a few cents on the dollar per year. Over the years I have coworkers put their letter of resignation, and they get offered huge advances to stay. I was looking to do the same but very nervous. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Could anyone share the payscale for C10 band?

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

My firm recently advised that all its US offices won’t be going into office until at least September (with flexibility for certain office use authorizations on a case by case basis). Any updates from you all?

Lateraled 6 months ago and it’s not going well. I’ve gotten some positive feedback here and there, but I’m also been scolded a number of times and it’s pretty clear I’m not up to their expectations. We’re slammed with year end stuff right now and I’m working myself to the bone. They can’t afford to lose a body until the end of the month, but I can’t shake the feeling that they’re going to let me go once we make it through this sprint. Have you guys heard of firms doing this?

Moskowitz you should watch the final table!!!!

Need some help fishers: technical operations manager, premium support aws. What kind of total comp or base salary? Vacation? Moving package? Anyone have any information? I don’t know the level.

Does imposter syndrome ever go away?! My firm does regular performance reviews and my stomach is in knots every time even though I always get “exceeds expectations” in every category and my senior attorney always writes the nicest notes, but I always get so much anxiety about it. I have 6 years of experience, when does it stop 🥲

Do any of you have the title “paralegal” but no paralegal certification? I do a lot of actual paralegal work but not sure if it would be looked down upon to use that as my title on LinkedIn/email signature.

(My company doesn’t really assign titles btw - my boss calls me his paralegal)

For in house paralegals that do litigation, what are the differences between in house litigation and private firm litigation? If there are any differences….

What happens when you disclose to your firm that you've recently been diagnosed with depression and anxiety? I know I suffer from those things, I've just never had to disclose a disability to my job before and I'm kind of nervous about it.

Are there any Los Angeles paralegals in this bowl with experience in complex trials? I’m looking to share my woes of dealing with a case with more than 10k exhibits that will never see the light of day on trial. 🫠

I’m also looking to insight for how you handled providing the court with exhibits admitted. I suppose we will find out at the FSC, but I am posting this to find out in advance.

Ever been let go before your billable time entries were in? Was let go today and not all of my time made it in as it was due next week. I’m expecting a heavy payout but I’m wondering if they can withhold since my billables are not in? Seems like their loss at this point.

Any CA paralegals who took the CAPA CCP exam? If so, would you recommend?

Anyone find themselves apologizing for everything, even stuff other people messed up? If I’m just relaying info and that turns out to be wrong, I still am the one to apologize. Especially if it’s to attorneys or partners. Why do I do this?

I have an interview with Fragomen and a boutique law firm as an immigration Paralegal. Can anyone give me some insight on what the culture at Fragomen is like? Would you take corporate over boutique?

Interested in endeavoring into the legal field through a paralegal role. Currently work at Big Four. Anyone willing to give a referral to Kirkland & Ellis?

For those of you who have been formally given the title of “senior paralegal” what are the qualifications for that title at your firm? Does your firm do promotions from paralegal to senior paralegal? At my firm we are all simply just “paralegal” (we all fully handle our own dockets, no assistants) and I would like to help develop a concrete career track for paralegal to senior paralegal.

How does a litigation paralegal, with over 20 years of experience, get into the corporate world? like a contract paralegal? I've always worked in litigation, and really want to get into a large corporation, I have made it to interviews, but seems like they always want someone with transactional and contract experience.

Does anyone work at Meta or Google? Any suggestions on how to get your foot in the door or things I should strive to add to me resume? 5 year lead litigation paralegal.

Of the many binders you have made in your career, what percentage of those binders do you think were actually used? I do a lot of trial prep and I'd say most of the binders I prepare don't even get opened up, even it's just to see if there are actually printed papers in there.

The insurance company I work for outsourced a huge majority of my work to a third party, ontellus 🤮. I am not longer able to bill for NPNP, SDT and CNOS. I received 5 separate NPNPs from ontellus that either had the incorrect case style, signature block or date. I also sent out an email today after the 5th incorrect NPNP that started with “I am honestly starting to feel like I am on the show Punk’d and waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop into my office” continued in comments..

How do you deal with inexperienced attorneys misguiding you or telling you to do things that are not correct? I’m helping out the Florida office (I’m in Ga) and I’m less familiar with their rules. I really want her to go ask someone what the correct steps are.

Any paralegals who work/have worked as an immigration paralegal and are willing to share their experience? I’m considering switching from contract-based law to immigration but I’ve heard immigration can be emotionally draining. I like that the workload at my current firm isn’t stressful but I don’t feel like I’m helping people (just businesses).

Topic: interviews

Is it appropriate to follow up after interviews to ask why you were not selected? And/or ask for feedback so that you can develop and improve professionally?

I've had SEVERAL interviews since February, and I keep getting rejected and it's starting to leave me feeling discouraged. I've been in my current position for just over 3 years and in the industry for around 4 years and have a bachelor's in Legal Studies. The positions I've applied to all vary in nature.
