I’ve been given two job offers. One pays $15k less than the other, is a non lawyer role at a nonprofit org, 4 days a week, flexible hours but no health insurance. I like the work, coworkers and boss very much. The other job is a typical government attorney 9-5 job with benefits, but I have a strong feeling I won’t like it. My heart is telling me I’ll be much happier at the nonprofit, and my kids and husband could have health insurance elsewhere, so it’s just me that would need a plan. Thoughts?

I work with someone who always makes subtle digs at my code. Like they’ll say good job… and then they’ll say there’s space to refactor/improve code quality and we can handle that later. I get that you can always improve code but it’s so irritating. Any advice?

What novels do you use in your ELA classrooms? I am curious to see what everyone else is using !

I’m accustomed to keeping my students’ IEP folders in my classroom & being held responsible for their safekeeping. Now in a new district, I found that the Case Manager keeps all district IEPs in her office. We have to submit our updates & progress notes to her. And we have to make a planning period appointment with her to come look at any IEP folders. How does your district deal with IEP folder custody?

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

Have a call on Friday with the CEO of an environmental entrepreneurship non-profit. It could lead to a professional opportunity and maybe even billable work I can refer to my firm down the line. I’m going in with an open mind but little concrete information on his entity and goals and ways I could get involved. What questions would you ask such a person?

How do you properly vet a law firm? I feel the associates I speak with talk up the firm and aren’t always candid.

I’m junior to two Legal Counsel (I work in-house) who are passive aggressive towards each other. They don’t attend each other’s meetings and leave each other out of email CC’s. It’s pretty clear this is done on purpose as one of them has bitched to me about the other.

What would you do in this situation?
