I filled out the complaint forms with the Dept. of Consumer Affairs AND the agency MD even gave them the runaround. It wasn't until I filed w turbocourt.com, and got a court date that they Express mailed me a check. The MD was a total dick about it the whole time (throughout my weekly check-in emails about payment). A total goomba. It was like a bad movie (the excuses). Rewind to actually working on the project and the account guy and the "creative director" were both shady, condescending and just really bad at their jobs. It's probably not even a real agency. Live and learn.

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
