Looking to transition out of biglaw into fully remote, ideally part time legal work while I focus on other priorities in life. Anyone know if these AI company contract jobs are actually legit? Some of them pay 50-100/hour but not sure if they supply a steady work flow

I see those as well, but they mostly look sketchy to me because they are also offering legal assistants and paralegals crazy high rates. There are lots of in-hoise opportunities for fully remote as well as some fully remote law firms. I have created a whole list of fully remote opportunities if you want me to share it. I'm desperately looking for a new job, so I'm spending a lot of time deep diving!

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office.

Just accepted an offer with a psych startup. Not exactly the offer I was hoping for as I’m taking a slight pay cut ($73/hr) and it’s a 1099 position. I keep getting stuck on the 1099 piece because I’ll be working 40 hrs/wk, but have been told I’m not eligible to be a W2 employee. Needless to say, no benefits whatsoever. They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?

Is bank interest riba?

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.
