Using the S or D instead of ET confirms you're a first year.

It's more that attorneys are pedantic, and people don't know what EDT is, so just saying ET avoids the issue.

Wait till you have to deal with international offices..fun fun fun!

My experience is that US lawyers don’t really take our time zones into consideration (Danish lawyer here), so that shouldn’t be that hard. I’ve had many night meetings. Very fun.

You can set up your calendar in Outlook to show multiple time zones to make the conversion easier. Coordinating across time zones can be hard, no matter how senior you get!

Same with Google Calendar - you can have it list two time zones. I only learned that last week which is amazingly helpful being east coast based with west coast client.

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner. Does it work if I provide a bio with summary of M&A projects (client names removed) instead of a traditional resume? Also plan to list education and previous roles.

Can someone help me with referral for Oracle Database Administrator, location Hungary

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Is anyone currently pursuing the CIA certification or recently passed? I am having trouble passing part 2. Any advice is welcomed. I passed part 1 over a year ago and haven’t been able to accomplish the next hurdle.
