My two best friends had a conflict over the weekend and have basically cancelled all of our plans for the rest of the month. As in they refuse to see each other. I don’t think the situation warrants this type of response, but neither of them are very practiced in healthy conflict resolution so this is just the approach they know best. Now I’m stuck in the middle.

Any advice?

I am purchasing a home and my boyfriend wants in on the deal as a co-owner. It is only me on the mortgage.

Is that fair? I just want to make sure I’m protected but I also understand that if he’s paying all this money, he wants some security as well

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

Hoping for some advice on how to properly leverage another job offer to help make another company pull the trigger on you.

I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....

Anyone here work in a firm where there are no female partners in your office? I feel like I have a lot of advancement opportunities from at least one partner but there is no clear route to partnership being shared at this point. I have been told it’s because all of the up and coming women in our firm haven’t made it there yet but I’ve only seen one woman become partner in the last few years (in another office) and the rest of the female partners have been laterals…
