Should immigration policies be modernized to 2022 needs? I believe in legal immigration, but I also believe it should be made easier for the people who are only working and giving back to our society. They're already here, might as well help them out.

Hey got a question for anyone and everyone! My sister is looking for a job. She’s been out of the job market for a while (5 years) to be a stay at home mom and with the economy, is looking to get back in it. My job isn’t hiring. Qualifications in comments

Anyone have experience with Ceridian Dayforce as an ATS? We are looking into it and I was pleasantly surprised with the demo (based on not hearing tons of reviews on it).

What are the current MBB salaries ? I see on Glassdoor that BCG consultant = McK associate = Bain consultant is making around 250k sgd TC . Does it sound right ?

I have a question about mid-size Philadelphia firms. Does anyone have any insight about what life is like (culture, pay, billable hours, cases, WFH, perks, etc.) as a junior partner/senior associate/of counsel in the litigation department at the following firms: Montgomery McCracken, Schnader Harrison, Stradley Ronon, Dilworth Paxson, Klehr Harrison?

Been practicing complex lit (employment and consumer class/representative actions) on the plaintiff side for last 6 years of my 7 year career. Just accepted a defense side offer, with a billable requirement/initial bonus eligibility of 1750 hours. I know billing is different on the defense side than simply recording hours toward a lodestar on the plaintiff side. How many "real" total hours is 1750 billable hours? I know it's supposed to be relatively low, but not sure what it really means?

What practice area did you start out in and where are you now? I’m curious about how people switch practice areas and what they do to start fresh. What resources they used aside from getting an LLM.

What’s the worst court you’ve ever been in and why? I will start … right now, New York State court is assigning motion return dates in late-March 2023.

Lately I’ve been waking up feeling like I don’t want to do anything. Feeling tired from lack of sleep/not great sleep and I feel like I’m behind on work, sometimes even when I’m not necessarily behind. Could be bc we have a baby and “down time” is no longer the same. Anyone ever feel like this? What made you feel better?

Is working inhouse at an insurance company doing transactional work a dead end career move? I have an opportunity to move in house at an insurance company. Ultimately I want to land at a startup/doing other in-house work. Trying not to be pigeon holed. Thanks!

I don't think I have ever felt so stupid before. My firm recently hired someone who was barred in 2021. I was barred 2019. I took it as I was senior to him and tried to mentor him. Well the joke is on me. Because he worked for the govt for some years before becoming an attorney, they made him a SENIOR associate. He has 0 prior attorney experience. Yet he's a senior. I have no words.

2020 Graduate, began clerking in July. I have never been work from home and I cannot imagine doing this job and learning as much as I have while wfh. Do any other clerks feel this way and if you aren’t a clerk and are a recent grad, do you feel like you are learning necessary skills while wfh?

After interviewing multiple candidates and selecting a candidate to offer the position, do law firms typically keep backup candidates incase their number one choice falls through?

Question: If you’re sued by another driver (at fault accident), and represented by your insurance company, do you pay the settlement fees/judgment award, or does the insurance company pay that?

Should an employment lawyer consider getting a PHR/SPHR certificate? Is it worthwhile?
A lot of in house opportunities seem to be looking for them

What’s are the disclosure rules regarding additional sources of income? Have an opportunity to be hired as a consultant.

When did you start feeling confident in your legal judgement? I’m a 4th year and I’ve always received good reviews. My partners want me to start running deals and I’m just terrified. I triple check literally everything I do. I’m always so scared to hit send on documents or substantive emails that a partner didn’t sign off on. When does this start to go away? (Assuming it does...)

Anyone know how difficult it is to break into privacy law? All I’ve seen so far is getting certified by taking the CIPP exam. Also if you are in data privacy, do you enjoy it?

About to put in my notice and lateral to another firm. Any tips on wrapping up admin stuff and starting over at a new place? Hoping to make a smooth transition :)

Not gonna lie. That 1500 hours a year is sounding real sign me up-ish.

Suppose my hypothetical AssociateOP, LLP firm had a revenue dip in April and May, but we got things back up and running again and made bank in 2020, so our revenue and profit was about the same as in 2019. Would a "sorry there was a pandemic, no bonuses this year even if you made hours" fly with associates or should the firm be honest about its numbers?

If I want to change practice areas, what is the smartest way to do this? Do I just apply to positions in the relevant practice area and talk about how my skills from my current practice area transfer?

As a newly minted attorney who didn’t summer, is it worth it to use a recruitment service if I want to crack into biglaw? Or is that overkill?

Alright my fellow fish I need advice. My last two jobs have been in a very specialized non-lucrative area of law. My state Bar is hiring senior attorneys for their Lawyer Regulation and Enforcement Department. What interests me is that it get me back into litigating (my current role is administrative) and it is a state job with competitive pay and good benefits. Does anyone have experience with this type of role? Would I be shooting myself in the foot if I take this job?
