Is ML as bad as people say?

Agreed. From what I’ve heard, MLB’s associates at least in the CA offices are overworked (consistently billing over 2300-2400/year) with a lot of micromanagement because all their cases are such high value, the partner needs to be heavily involved in everything

I am an L&E attorney contacted by a recruiter about such a position so trying to narrow which firms it might be

Akin Gump in DC has a pretty good L&E practice in DC. Same with Proskauer in NYC.

Good morning all I hope all is well. Just wanted to pick your brains with a question. Cloud Engineer Bootcamp vs Self Study for Certifications vs Getting a Masters in Cloud Computing. Say the person is currently a Help Desk Support staff.

I have this partner who doesn’t enjoy working with me because I do below avg work for her but she has little choice of foot soldiers. I do below avg work for her because she consistently gives me little time to do huge tasks (and usually at odd hours) and doesn’t involve me in what finally goes to the client (and I have no visibility on the client’s expectations, response, feedback, expected timeline). How do we (mainly I) get out of this painful cycle?

This is a pretty frivolous question, but I'm curious: how much of a premium would you place on having a great view from your office?

Of course this assumes regular office attendance, and I know this is a fringe benefit at best, but like I said I'm just curious.

How do you gracefully tell a partner that you don’t want to work on a client anymore? Partner doesn’t care for client either since the relationship is through a different practice group. There’s no one else to service the client. Client is very small.
