My boss asked me to take care of some of the details of a project for her—the stuff that isn't really my area of expertise. And now I feel like a shirker because I haven't been able to finish them yet.

I took on a pro bono immigration case through my firm and made a (justifiable) mistake. No one was overseeing me. I’m worried for my client and I’m also worried about a motion to reopen/ineffective assistance of counsel argument. Has anyone ever dealt with this?

When you’re flying for a client. When do you leave to the airport? As I understand it, travel time is billable from when I leave my house until I check into the hotel. But I don’t want to leave to the airport and charge the client for waiting for the flight but I don’t want to leave too late and miss my flight either.

How much do you bill for reviewing a client email and/or sending a response? Do you ever get any pushback billing for that?

Hello people, i have been working as a business consultant for the past 3 years but now I want to switch to HR domain. Can anyone suggest me how can I move ahead with that? I have almost 3 months of bpo recruitment experience in my last company where I was helping our HR team with bulk hiring for bpo project. Will my little bpo experience will work or should get some certification to get into MNCs?

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Is there a standard for referrals?
Meaning if I refer a client to a different attorney (not big firms but as a solo to solo) what will be reasonable rate of a referral fee to charge from the attorney I refer to.
I feel that I spent money on marketing and time handling the clients and the referral and I should be compensated In some way but not sure what I should ask.

I have many options to consider but two options below are what I’m thinking of right now.

I want to see your thoughts on which one I should pick.

Job A: Project Engineer. 135K/yr base. 10% signing bonus.

Job B: Senior Project Manager. Contract. $60/hr standard. $90/hr overtime.

I added a well recognized litigator in my area at a top firm on LinkedIn... reason being is that I’m a first year in litigation and hope to accomplish at least half the things he has in my career. So it’s interesting to see his takes on things when he engages on a post.

I’m tempted to send him a personal message, not for a job or anything, but honestly just to ask “how he did it” and what advice he might give.

Is there any harm in this? Don’t wanna be annoying.

Hello TCS sharks,

Anyone working on Experian project!. I got an opportunity in it can anyone please provide me the info should join that project or not !!. I have 3 years of experience.

How some people are clearing interview and then getting into a project even though they don't have any skills, no desire to learn new things, can't perform a very very simple task even though it's already documented clearly, totally burden on team members. They don't even try to do basic troubleshooting when they faced simple issues, rather asks stupid question to junior who is having only 1 years of experience and ask for solution.
I noticed this in every project I joined(Service based company)

I’ve worked in Consulting for the past 2.5 years and I’ve loved it! Today is the day where all the horror stories I’ve heard about consulting came true. I worked until 1AM this morning to finish deliverables for a client I’m working on. I’ve had PTO on the books for the past two months and jumped on a flight this morning to enjoy the rest of the week off. I land and my phone buzzes for a fire drill that only I can solve. Should I work for the next 10 hours and fix or say screw it not my problem?

I entered law school in my late 30's as a second career. I have strong pre-law experience (Executive of small company, 60 employees, $4m budget, MBA, etc.) and law school credentials (Top 10%, Managing Editor of Law Review). I'm willing to make less coming out of school than I did before, but want to ultimately land as in-house counsel with a decent wlb and make $200k+. I'm looking for advice on the best path to get there and how long I can expect it to take.
