Looks like the DOD cuts are already shaking things up, and it’s only a matter of time before we see more folks job hunting. I've been applying for a while now, but it’s been pretty slow. Wondering if promotions are going to stall too. Is anyone else actively looking?

How big are the dod cuts?

8-10%

If they don't stall promotions, the only other way they can protect diminishing margins when revenues dry up due to lost or cancelled contracts is by cutting head counts. So basically the only situation currently where promotions won't get stalled are mass layoffs...

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

How does everyone bill for family law matters? Do you always bill hourly or is there some flat fee, monthly or quarterly fee structure that could work, even in contested matters? I have cases that the clients end up spending $20-$40,000 on a contested divorce and this is really out of their budget. I feel that if my firm could charge a flat fee of $10-$15,000, it would still be beneficial from a client predictability and volume standpoint and would generate more referrals.
