That’s extremely atypical. Is it possible you were so low level you didn’t have to assist?

How are ya’ll working 60 hrs?! In busy season I never work more than 50-55 and off season I average 35.

Ironically, isn’t some of the reason PA is so difficult because industry doesn’t want to work hard. Never been in PA but what I have heard. 🤣

Not because industry doesn't work hard. That's a joke they spread to make you feel good about the overwork they make you do. Industry works extremely hard, just have boundaries with our time. We have bosses and hard deadlines and high expectations placed on us just like everywhere else.

We should all say goodbye on anything more than 40 hours because unpaid overtime is like slavery.

Inverse relation ship in my experience. Last year I was offered an hourly job paying $30/hr and a salary job of approx $27/hr expecting 45 hours.

Good luck! I get to put my 2 weeks notice in today in preparation for doing the same thing you are. Nervous as all heck

Wish you the best for the future. Welcome to the other side..
hours - Depends on your role.. if Reporting - then month end , spcly - qtr end, year end (based on company size) would be busier, but nothing crazy. Would be a learning curve but after a certain time you’ll feel comfortable.. if timesheets were the bane of your existence, you’ll be much relieved there isnt a similar scene. The major things you need to be at your top game is in building connections, being a culture fit, providing Value addition thru your role (finding efficiencies, trying to resolve the pain points of your seniors).
If you read books, then one book that can help you - no matter what the level of your role - ‘The First 90 Days’.

Yes, book is still applicable.. like the Dale Carnegie books that came out ages ago.

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?

Hi Everyone,
Need some valid pros and cons for Value Momentum in regards to (WLB, Work options, HR Policies, Onsite opportunity etc)

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?
