Such a rookie there. I don’t do that. No need to give ER numbers when I’m at the hospital. Who has time to setup auto reply in that situation.

My clients already know my SO number, my parents numbers, my best friends’ numbers and have enable “Find My” feature on my iOS so they can easily track me where I am at from day 1. Such an inconvenience to need to setup this auto reply and they need to wait for the ER to help them route it to me.

Asians: No auto- reply but respond 3 weeks later and send 3 follow-ups if you don’t get a response immediately.😅

Rookie mistake, don‘t provide a date if you‘re out longer than 3 weeks (European here)

„I‘m currently out of office with limited access to my emails. In urgent matters, please call me or send a message to [phone number].“

No one will call unless it really is urgent

An Asian in this situation would possibly take off with their oxygen mask to the office to attend a meeting in which they are marked optional.

I currently work as a personal injury lawyer at a small law firm, 5 years experience, graduated from T30 law school in 2015. Our subject area is pretty niche, and I am looking to branch out. Not big law, but a different subject area, and hopefully something with a better work life balance (have a small child with hopes for more). Open to leaving the law for a compliance/HR/other type position. Am I even marketable for something like that? Am I being unrealistic?
