Update: Ended up moving to Grant Park right by the zoo. Love the park and proximity to VaHi, Inman, MT, grocery stores and all the convenience that comes with it. I would recommend it with caution that it’s still gentrifying like much of Atlanta. The park has some sketchy people at certain hours but then again you see yuppie parents with strollers and dogs

Don’t know much about Grant Park... but I’d highly recommend Inman Park, Old 4th Ward, and Virginia Highlands! They’re all near the Beltline which has been awesome to be around. Lots to do all up and down the beltline (exercise, brewery, Ponce City market, parks, restaurants etc.)

Little far from the areas I like. What’s the reasoning for grant park? I’d much prefer west midtown, midtown, Virginia highlands.

Understandable, check out Candler park as well. Grant park is by no means bad, as with any gentrified area there will be good and bad. The people I know that live in Grant park love it, but like I said it’s not my forte.

I’m in midtown (a little closer to old 4th ward than I realized) and have been disappointed after relocating Lots of crime....can’t recommend it. Friends in Buckhead. Married w children seem to be in Decatur for the schools. Also a nice little hood if that’s your situation

Nice and quiet. Close to the interstate. A variety of grocery stores.

Lot of new development this year. Grant Park still regentrifying, but has come a long way in the past couple of years. I wouldn’t live there as a single woman, but otherwise would. Great culture, great pocket of town

There is a police station in that area. Redeveloped and more modern. You are close to everything!

Congrats OP

So I pulled an all nighter on Monday to do this thing, spend Tuesday like a zombie (and I had 5 calls!!!) then on 6PM the senior reviewing my work came back with comments that I needed to turn “ASAP”. I was so tired I just said I would not because I needed to sleep. I sent them today at 1:30 PM.
Would you get mad if your mid-level/junior did that? I’m all for pulling all-nighters and billing but everything has a limit.

I am being underpaid and i know it.

I am sure there is alot of opportunities out there.

Just wanted to know, for my experience. What kinda salaries can I look for?

Junior associate here (2L). Got some ‘constructive feedback’ from a 4L. We went over budget on a matter, and 4L thinks it has something to do with my inefficient delegation to 0Ls (and not the all the out of scope work the client asked us to do but doesn’t want to pay for...). Delegated tasks included basic grunt work like splitting out documents, preparing execution versions and other low-level tasks. 4L asked me to check with them before I delegate anything in the future. Thoughts?

People with dogs: how did you get your dog used to city life? My dog is almost a year and half now (having lived the past ~5 months in the city) and he is terrified of the city. We used to live in the suburbs so much more quiet and low key. The cars going by, sudden sounds, bikes/scooters are a huge stressor, but more than anything it’s people - if he sees anyone walking or around him he panics and tries to flee. I can’t afford to send him to an expensive dog trainer and don’t know what to do :/
