Just cleared conflicts & can give notice to my current firm. New firm wants me to start on 12/5. Planning to give notice tomorrow, 2 weeks from which will be 11/22. Will be out of office for weekend trip Fri. 11/18 through Mon. 11/21 (unlimited vacation/not using PTO). Which is better (or less worse): Give 2 weeks notice that includes 2 days I’m paid but won’t be working, or give < 2 weeks notice, such that my last day is 11/17 (10 days notice)? I’m busy & will be until my last day regardless.

What's everyone getting for holiday gifts?

Did I just email a doc reviewer for the Secretary of State to ask whether the coworker who’d been assigned to my documents was on vacation? Yes. Did my documents get filed and sent to me immediately? Yup. Sometimes passive-aggressive behavior really does get you where you need to be.

Can you set up a vanguard taxable account and essentially have it auto invest in VTI/VOO every month from savings? It doesn’t look like you can do that with ETFs.

I'm SHRM-SCP certified and I have been interested in the total rewards or compensation side of HR. Do you think that getting the CCP certification is a good investment? I've seen many Total Rewards open positions but I feel I don't have the necessary experience. Any advices?

Does Rudy Giuliani even have a license to practice law?

Does anyone have any insight on Carlton Fields? Particularly the Atlanta office, though any information about firm culture, work, good or bad is appreciated.

It just happens that this week I spent a fair amount of time negotiating with clients/potential clients on legal fees - and it is exhausting. I am less than 2 years in private practice...

Any tips for evaluating the culture of a firm/practice group as a lateral candidate? I thought the folks at my current firm would be good, but there's a difference between coming across friendly in an interview and being good partners to work for.

That moment when your "smart" plan to boost your hours this month by working the Labor Day weekend (thus turning down all the fun plans your friends made) becomes sitting on your hands & feeling dumb because all the partners are too busy to delegate anything. The worst kind of "off" day is one you planned to /wanted to work, but there's no billable work...

Is it true that it’s exceedingly difficulty to transition from insurance defense work (7+ years) to either commercial litigation or an in-house position? I’m worried about staying on this path for too long, becoming pigeon holed and not being able to get out of it.

Started at a new firm a recently. I’m a little anxious about my growth opportunities. I’ve been working and billing like crazy, but the firm essentially charges insurance rates - but also are really conservative about billing and cut my hours a lot. It seems they’re really happy with my work. They’ve brought up the issue of my time and said I should be able to capture my time as long as I break the entries up more. But I think they’re still cutting it. I’m worried I won’t justify my pay goals..

Anyone ever jump from transactional associate to Art. III clerkship?

If an associate exceeds his hours/collections, gets his work done, etc., but is typically in the office from 6:30am - 4:45pm so that he can see his family in the evening, do you view this negatively?

A question for the associates:
How should I talk to a new associate on my team (4 mos.) about critical issues including 1) spending too much time on a single project; 2) not meeting expectations in terms of number of billable hours; 3) botching easy procedural issues? This person has significant skills and writes very well. But their work is consistently turned in at the last minute, they have to be corrected on procedures regularly, and they never come talk to me without an invitation.

Looking for some summer reading material. Wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for books on litigation and or business/ money investments.

Dear my fellow young attorneys: When you buy a new suit jacket or skirt, the cuts in the back will be tacked by two small peices of thread. These are suppose to be cut open once purchased. 👍🏻

I’m getting antsy with every day that passes after having an initial interview for a government position. I’m currently in private practice where things move fast. Is there any benefit to “checking in”? If so, how long should I wait before doing so?

Anyone have a good response to RFP template/sample? Jury rigging something right now but, man, there has gotta be a better way.

How do you deal with a client who is changing the facts half way through discovery? Obviously can’t give any more details but the entire narrative is changing and the complaint and all of our discovery responses are based on the previous facts.
