Junior partner thinking of lateraling to another firm. Advice for how to get clients who were not initially yours but who you developed close relationships with to come with you?

I need some interview tips, I have a virtual interview for another HR Manager position at a much larger company, in the email it said to dress for the position you are interviewing for. At my current company we are very casual Friday all week long as we are in the Non-Profit Arts Entertainment industry. Any suggestions would be appropriated.

I had a performance evaluation last week where I completely fell apart. When asked how I was doing, I responded that I was overwhelmed with work and with the personal animosity of my para who called me a bitch to my face. The partner said that the para is not very good at their job and that I should care a lot less what she thinks of me. I feel like the response was deflecting the issue - she was a bad hire in the first place and more money needs to be spent on staff. Am I off base?

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!

Any advice for working with teams while in a slump? My work gets compliments but I keep getting feedback I need to be less reserved. Just feel even more worse I can’t connect with others

2nd year here: just got reamed multiple times by a partner in a checklist call for not having enough detail in my open items list. Thing is the draft i had sent the midlevel was far more detailed, they told me to remove it all and make it as barebones as possible. Do I just take this L? I'm pretty annoyed because the partner mentioned it TWICE in the call with clients for my lack of detail.

Midlevel didnt apologize or even acknowledge this issue. I've never been so mad in my career.

How to professionally break manipulative work relationships with your co workers and management?

Been on a project for 2 weeks and thinking it’s not for me. The manager is kind of rude when I ask for help/direction, but he always says to ask if things are uncertain. He always has this condescending attitude and just keeps telling me that he expects more of someone at my level, C. I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?

Has anyone transferred a cpa license to CA? I have my license in another state and have all requirements but the accounting ethics class and ethics exam. But there was some funny language in the handbook stating they wouldn't recognize the cpa exam results if I didn't meet the educational requirement prior to sitting for the exam. Would I have to take the ethics class and exam AND retake the full cpa exam to be licensed in ca?

Anyone that has interviewed at Winstead: How long does the interview process?

Hi! I am in the beginning of my law career, currently working for government. But I am not sure where life will take me next. So my question is: how important do you think it is to develop your social media brand and presence as legal professional at the start of your career? Would it be beneficial to start marketing myself in some general way, and then get more specialized? On another note, do you have examples of accounts of attorneys that put some effort in it and you enjoy following them?

My new firm has a large real estate deal practice. There is one regulatory portion that they refer out because they don’t have the expertise. I have that expertise and want to develop a team to handle. What are your thoughts on origination? They’re not my clients but it’s a new line of income for the firm. Yes, I know the “talk to them about it” answer, but I’m more interested in how other firms handle these situations. Also, I’m not a partner.
