I’ve been going through a hard time lately with my mental health. I feel very depressed and unmotivated. And my work is suffering. I want to leave big law anyway and am applying to jobs. Would it be better to ask the firm for mental health leave? Or just power through doing the minimum?

I've got into tech about 5 years ago since then I've worked in SQL, excel, database administration, PowerShell, html, some python, shell, SharePoint, power automate, power apps, various apis and other software.

The company I work does not have the most clear HR policies and environment. For some reason we always feel like in a persecution.
I’ve been working there for 7 years with a great career development.
I’m about to become mother and the whole Maternity leave is uncertain. First, no benefits more than FMLA and second it looks like whatever option they can offer me post 12 weeks is seems like a “favor”.
Long story short I feel it’s time to move on.
Should I start looking now?

What sorts of SQL questions are typically asked in interview questions for senior data analysis jobs? Like is knowing SQL from freecodecamp enough or should I look into taking a course online?

I’ve unfortunately not gotten the chance to use SQL in my current position so I don’t feel like I have enough experience in it, but have experience in everything else (Python, tableau, storytelling, etc)

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Should I ask for compensation for covering multiple positions? How do I ask for it and how much?
Context- I was recently promoted to a new position, new department. Since then I've been doing my new job about halfway and my old job the rest of the time while interviewing for my replacement as part of the transition.
Now my old boss has quit and I'm being called in as an interim fill in for her role. Mind you this role I'm filling in for pays far more than my previous or even current position.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there. Is it typical that work done by associates on contingency cases isn’t counted toward their billable hour requirements unless and until we receive our fee on the case? This is my first experience with this, but it’s hard for me to reach my hours as is, without spending time on non billable cases like this with no assurance that I’ll see billable credit at the end.

Interview questions with a PM?
I'm currently interviewing for senior software engineer and have a couple interviews with PMs (culture fit, etc).
I've had some rocky relationships with PMs.
As a PM, what would you like an engineer to ask you?
As an engineer, what would you ask a PM to understand how the work with engineers, what they prioritize, if they throw engineers under the bus, etc?
I've also had many experiences with great PMs.

Does anyone have tips for the structured interview process at a federal agency? I’m trying to transition from impact litigation at a non-profit to an agency focused on trade and consumer protection. I’ve received private sector offers but can’t seem to make it past the first round for federal government. I must have the appropriate credentials to receive an invitation at all and have researched behavioral interview prep—what am I missing?

Talk me off a ledge!!! I had an interview with one of the leading professional service firms that I won’t mention for an internal services Learning Manager role. (I’m a former employee from the consulting side) I had a first round interview, that from my perspective, I aced… I answered everything thoroughly, I was engaged with the interviewer…she stated my skills lined up perfectly with the role and that she wanted me to talk to her manager….15 min after the interview I get a no go email…ugh

Looking for advice for interviewing at Amazon for a senior machine learning engineer position.

I’m looking at lateral offers from Gunderson and Goodwin (both east coast). I want to focus on VC/EC clients. I know both are well known in the area, but which is better? I know Gunderson is known for more early stage work, but is there a benefit to being at a full service firm like Goodwin when I know that what I’m looking for will be at Gunderson?

Any BOS big law taking first- year corp lateral?

As a lateral, I was disappointed by the integration process at my new firm. I have done everything I can to make the most of my time at this new firm. My hours are high and despite our group having high turnover since I joined, I feel taken for granted. I really want to make it work here.

Can’t decide if I’m being ghosted by a partner or if I’m just reading into it. Had a good discussion about a matter that we wrapped up and then I went on vacation. Haven’t gotten a response back (have sent a few emails about staffing on new matters) from the partner in over a week and a half since then and they also haven’t stopped by my office which would typically happen once or twice a week. Thoughts?

Normal situation? I am a second year associate that lateraled to a hyper-specialized practice group a year ago. Since joining, I have only worked with one partner. The issue is my workload. Usually at least once a day I am stuck with no billable work, most often because I have just submitted something to the partner and she is reviewing. I am not on track to hit our hours target. The partner has not given any real negative feedback, just have anxieties about workload. Any advice?

I would like to quiet quit. How does one do that in BigLaw?

Had an interview last week. Recruiter (who is a recruiter for the firm itself as I applied directly) emailed me today asking how I thought the interviews went. Does this mean anything? Wouldn’t a recruiter only reach out to schedule another round of interviews or to reject you? Haven’t heard back since replying this morning.
