Just started working in house and my direct superior constantly is missing meetings with no warning, really late, or asks to reschedule when they’re already supposed to be happening. He’s way busier than me so I get it, but it’s really hard to work effectively when I’m hitting road blocks and can’t talk to him or THINK I get to talk to him and then he just no shows. I didn’t really experience this in firms. How do I approach?

What are the best workplace coaching certification programs in the industry? I was referred to integral coaching (new ventures west), and wondering what are other highly regarded programs.

I had an interview last week and intended to follow up, but a shitty unstable housing situation got in the way and I didn't manage to send the thank you note or my CV in the rush to find a place to stay. Probably too late to apply now, but is it worth sending a follow up note thanking them for their time and apologizing? This was an informational interview with the Head of the Dept, not a recruiter.

I’m a 1st yr who started at a large firm during WFH status in 2020. My section is severely understaffed and as a result I:1) believe that I am not receiving enough training/feedback (& I ask!), and 2) am getting a lot of work with not enough time to complete. I know a portion of my experience is the learning curve, but I told my mentor I felt that this is not sustainable and she agreed. Anyone else have a similar experience? Any advice on how to best address this issue at yearly review?

I went through the loop at Amazon and ultimately didn't get hired. From what the recruiter mentioned, it wasn't a question of fit but of experience (only about 2.5 years out).

Hey 👋 In House 🐟 - how did you learn to sound more "lawyerly" when talking to clients early in your legal career?

I wish this app was set up for polls. I’m trying to figure out who has had the most success with finding in-house positions based on:
1) Top tier law school 2) big law 3) neither but YOE>7 and/or 4) specialty (please share what)

Just wondering which kind of inhouse legal counsel role pays the best? Eg transactional, litigation, employment, regulatory. Thanks in advance!

I am a young partner at a small litigation boutique, with 10 years experience here plus 2 years clerking in federal court. My experience is general commercial litigation with an employment emphasis, as well as general business advising. I’m interested in moving in-house but don’t want to relocate (large regional city in southeast US), so my options are somewhat limited and I’m afraid I’ve missed my age/experience-window to do so. What’s the best way to pitch my experience as useful for in-house?

Hello Everyone!
