I’ve been thinking a lot about the balance between hiring for experience vs. hiring for attitude. Sometimes the most technically skilled candidates struggle with teamwork, while someone with less experience but a great mindset ends up thriving. For those who’ve hired both types, what’s been your experience? Do you prioritize one over the other?

depends on the work you need done and the resources on hand.

1️⃣if you have the time & resources to train, choose the one with the better attitude. 2️⃣if you need something to be fixed asap with no time to train, pick the experienced one -- but consider onboarding as a temp (with possible FT conversion if they're a fit, meaning, you got their attitude problem wrong & they're actually great to work with).

with the candidate market bursting with available talent, hiring temps is now viable.

this is a great response- thanks for the feedback

Does anyone else feel depressed about being single?

It's really bumming me out but I don't have time to date or meet new people because when I'm not at work I'm studying for the CPA. I hate where my life is right now.

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when you’re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases? Should I be worried that I’m going from engaged and stress to numb and slightly indifferent? Or is this what it feels like to power through? I can’t gauge it anymore? And can’t impose judgment one way or another either.

I understand that statement has some degree of privilege.

However when things are all said and done, a lot of us won't be worried about the extra dollars we made or an additional title we got, but what we were able to do with the time we had.
