Missed VP promotion but reviewer said firm believes I have what it takes and wants me to stay. I thought banking is up or out... should I believe his words? I like the work...

I bought a really cute dress, that hugs my body. I love it, but i have a little bit of a lower belly, which shows through. I'm wondering if I should return the dress or if someone can recommend contd

Today (day 99 with my employer) I was put on a performance improvement plan. Such a shit show of a company! After the offer, and before my start date the company reorganized the department… new boss and department reporting structure. Too late for me to renegotiate, and my job at my former employer was not a fallback option. On day 3 one of the only long term employees in the department accepted a different job. Sooo many red flags! I need to jump but I don’t have anywhere to land.

I been at my job for three year now, for a while now I been applying for other positions within my job because I want to leave my department. I don’t feel value and appreciated. They would rather hired a new manager than promote within. I have had interviewed in the past and recently but I am told to wait in HR for the final step but never heard from there whether they approved my transfer or not. Plus I am beginning to think my manager holding me back from transferring.

Any insight into NTT Data Workforce Readiness practice? Good, bad, indifferent.

‼️DATING SOMEONE IN COMPETING FIRM‼️Anyone have any experience dating someone that works at a competitor ? I’m a new hire and I’ve been reading the policies and it seems really strict. For ex:

(1) can a person at MasterCard date someone working for a competitor (AmEx) or merchant partner (any company that accepts MasterCard ex: Google) ?

And (2) If they CAN date, does this need to be reported to their leader and HR, etc ? (Most people don’t want their company knowing about their personal life)

So if we weren't doing this law thing, what would we be doing to pay the mortgage?

Easier to have a cat or a dog?

I never feel fully present when I’m around my family/SO/friends. I’m constantly checking my email and thinking about the assignments I “should” be working on. Is this my job or is this the profession?

Areas of litigation in which 1) work life balance is on average more acceptable and/or 2) cases rarely go to trial?

Any thoughts on family law as a practice area? Got offered 110k plus bonuses with low billable hours requirement. I'm in Los Angeles. Not sure if I should get into it as a practice area though as I hear conflicting things. Any thoughts would help. Thanks

I still don't understand the SEO program. Or Summer Associate programs for that matter. It must meant that partners have more money than they know what to do with.

How would you handle not getting a bonus or a raise this year even if you outperformed expectations? I really like my job and the work, but my comp is not matching my responsibilities and performance imo. Partner has ducked me for the last week trying to have a meeting about 2020 productivity.

I’m interested in taking on a Pro Bono case through a nonprofit org, so should I disclose that I’m taking the case to my current employer (in house)? The case has no overlap with the field my company is in and I’ll be doing the work off the clock.

Anyone have intel on Nixon Peabody in DC?

I have practiced law for several years and still struggle with the feast-or-famine nature of my practice. (Sudden rush of client outreach, many emergencies, then … nothing). A famine week might be 3-4 billable hours/day. My practice area does not have a predictable annual cycle, like “year end” or “tax day.” Any tips from other attorneys for how to recognize, predict, and/or even out these periods?

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

Should an employment lawyer consider getting a PHR/SPHR certificate? Is it worthwhile?

I’m a veterans law attorney for a not for profit in dc and want to transition to the for private side of this area of law, any suggestions?

I’m giving my notice tomorrow. Incredibly nervous. Tell me your quitting stories where everything was all right.

The main partner I work for is constantly trying to set “legal traps” to see if I fall into them. For example, he ask me a specific legal question (to which he already knows the answer) to see if I am able to deliver. I’m so nervous now (this has been going on for over a year) that I often end up falling into his trap by doing (stupid) mistakes. What do you advise me to do? My self confidence is slowly getting destroyed. This does not happen with other partners.

I soon start my first real lawyer job in a midsize boutique in major market. Job description said it is a litigation associate position to handle “complex insurance coverage disputes.” What would be my career options after 3-4 years? I know the question is very broad.. but which areas generally welcome coverage attorneys?

Is it unreasonable for a new job that provided me with an offer letter to indicate the bonus requirement as follows:

Do you ever have a hard time doing good work for a particular client? I work with a client that has crazy deadlines, is disorganized and is constantly changing the deal. On top of all that, they’re rude. I feel like my work product isn’t up to my own expectations because I dread any email from them.

Is it inappropriate to add a hiring manager on LinkedIn after your application was rejected? I plan on reapplying in the future.
