Offer letter says that I have to give 30 day notice. Do law firms really enforce that?

These people speaking at RNC either truly believe that DT could be a good president or they are attention/power whores. Both despicable.

I've gotten so tired of Indian Uber drivers asking me 10K questions about my background that I've started telling them I'm Venezuelan & that my grandma was Indian, which explains my name. Works! 😏

Are there any Certified SCRUM Masters, or Certified SCRUM Product Owners here?

I just got the certifications and I am wondering if it would be worth it take the more advanced courses (paying out of pocket).

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….

Any thoughts on how best to identify fraud within your DSP of choice?

Long-term disability on H1B - Yay or Nay? Lots of online forums say, visa holder will be out of status for major part of LTD and thus it makes no sense to buy

Do you ever think that this is a futile process?

Im a Design Engineering from Mexico but Im also an American citizen, I would like to know how can I get my wet-stamp and if I need it… I have my degree from Mexico but I’m not not familiar with the process I have to follow to work as an Engineer in the States

Anyone know anything about the Cascade Heights (30311) area?

Thinking of moving there after my lease is up to save on rent (raising my unit by $500).

Did Republicans think this through? Are they assuming they’re now powerful enough they can stop the electoral reaction to this? I’m seeing people radicalizing in real time across my social networks. Republicans supporting Biden. Formerly moderate Democrats coming out in favor of court-packing.

Was this all really worth it?

Best way to prepare for SHRM ?
Any tips or resources that helped you pass the exam?

Have a spider mite infestation on a lemon tree I brought indoors for the winter. Anyone have any ideas for how to kill them? I looked online and have tried neem oil, but it doesn’t seem to be working too well. Help!

Hi everyone, does anyone have recommendations for getting rid of nats in indoor house plants? I've tried the sticky traps and while that catches some, it doesn't get rid of all of them.

Good afternoon!

I am in the process of transitioning from South Florida to Austin and am looking for advice finding opportunities in the area.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, what is the number of days Cerner takes to release the offer letter? I have completed 2 rounds of technical interview and got confirmation from HR that the interview feedback is positive. HR collected my documents 3 days back. Will there be any HR round next or direct offer? And when it is good to follow up on this? Please suggest.

When do does pay/class year "upgrade"? Is it end of billable year (ours ends 11/1)? Or is it whenever the new associates start?

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

How often and how do you exercise?

I run 4x4 intervals on a treadmill every 2-3 days, and pushups/hangups/crunches about the same, but somewhat more infrequently. Great exercises to do with little time. In winter I go XC skiing upstate at our cabin every two weekends or so.

I’m in the biglaw hiring process through an outside recruiter. It’s so frustrating because he’s having these conversations with the firm and only paraphrasing the gist of them to me. He says he can’t forward the exact emails. Is that BS? Why can’t I see what the firm is telling my recruiter?

If this deal flared up my IBS and I keep having to run to the restroom, do I bill the client for that time or nah? (Yes, I’m thinking about the deal. Yes, I’m posting this from where you think I am.)

When law firms lay you off, do they always give the standard 3 months salary and 3 months on the website? I’m looking at very likely being let go I think and I’m trying to plan ahead.

How do you give notice in big law?

Does your firm give you anything if you bill over 200 hours? I hear some firms give gift cards (although best is not billing 200 hours and not getting a gift card, just curious).

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.

How do I tell a firm I screened with that another firm I screened with is moving forward with full rounds? I would prefer the former firm, even though the latter firm is ranked higher. Thanks for any advice

Is it normal for 4 different recruiters to contact you in a single afternoon for 1 job posting?? This is getting absurd and distracting

What can a junior associate do about a mid-level that constantly asks questions about things they were cc’d on, sends dozens of piecemeal emails and is generally just super high strung and needs everything right away?? No other mid-levels I’ve worked with act this way and this individual I’m working with is driving me insane and I’ve spent countless hours attaching emails and saying “as explained in the attached email…”

What is the main reason for staying at/lateraling to biglaw?

Does anyone here know any good recruiters for Boston? Not looking to move, but want some intel (and feel awkward reaching out to the recruiter who placed me here).

Is there a common reason funds select different outside counsel for fund formation and downstream transactions? Are there any examples where a firm is first choice for both?

How do you deal with a Midlevel who tells the partner you’ll cover for them, but gives you less than 24 hours notice they’ll be gone without asking if you can cover? I helped out back on July on a deal with they were on vacation, and now every vacation since they keep adding me back on without keeping me appraised of the deal in the interim

Mid 2020, I turned down an opportunity to jump ship from my small law firm to a big law firm. At the time I had 4 years of practice under my belt with managerial experience. I thought the offer was reasonable, come in at a 2nd year level, but with the uncertainty of the times I played it safe. Now I regret it. What avenues do I have, if any, to jump into big law from a small firm?

People who don’t submit their time daily, how do you remember what you did and for how long? I’ve always just submitted each timer as soon as I finish a task—“call with x re y” really doesn’t take that long even if I’m busy, and if I don’t do it immediately I’ll forget all those little I did in the morning by the time I go to bed. No shade at all to those with different systems, just genuinely curious because I see a lot about catching up at month end on here and I have no idea how that works??
