My boss is convinced he’s a collaborator and not a manager, so he leaves ALL admin work on any case to the associate, including reviewing bills for the client and monitoring court websites for deadlines because our calendaring system is unreliable. We don’t have HR. We have a part time lady who is also a para, so we really only have 1/4 of HR. I want to push back on admin work because it’s just not my job. Advice?

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

Does anyone have a go-to "odd" or unconventional question you like to ask candidates to keep them on their toes or see how they react when put on the spot?

How do you properly vet a law firm? I feel the associates I speak with talk up the firm and aren’t always candid.

What’s the word on Foley Hoag LLP?

What is a reasonable pay increase + bonus? This will be my first pay increase. I make 70k and I will be starting my second year at big law (immigration). I had 2 years of prior experience before joining the firm.

I know people will say no promotion potential or that’s not how it works…but what if it could? What if you make yourself valuable by still setting your boundaries? Why would we resent someone who has that opportunity?
