Out of sight, out of mind? I love the flexibility of remote work, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing out on career opportunities. It seems like the attorneys naturally turn to the in-office team for big projects and mentorship, while I’m over here hoping my emails and Zoom calls keep me in the mix. How do you stay visible and top of mind when you’re not physically in the office?

I’ve found that checking in regularly and asking for work keeps me in the loop, and I make sure to update partners on what I’m working on. I also try to go into the office now and then. Sometimes just being seen makes a difference too.

Are you new to the field? I’ve been doing this for a decade so not being visible and just doing the work is preferable to me at this point.

I understand how you feel and its actually one of the reasons I went back into the office. There are so many perks to working from home but I definitely wasn't getting any career advancement.I do think there is something to be said about being in the office.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
