PI. It all sucks

funnylike

Do you not like doing it remotely or just PI in general?

Insurance Defense. No complaints or issues based on our setup. I’ve got a full office at my house and a pretty big computer screen to avoid needing multiple monitors. The firm has legal assistants who work hybrid so we’re still able to mail/fax etc through them. Only go in for certain meetings or trial prep which isn’t very often. Love it. Esp because I’m the type of person who gets way more done at home because nobody can bother me unless I let them lol

Family Law. Ever since covid. I love it!

I did family/matrimonial law for about 3 years remote. Love it! Missed the office setting, but now that I’m at an office, I miss working from home.

Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position. The salary is 30% above my total comp right now, but I’m just worried about the amount of work I will have to put in compared to my amazing work life balance now. Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)? I’m not the decision maker, but it’s been a few weeks with very few applicants. I’m curious if there’s something hurting the firm in its search.

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.

Has anyone dealt with a lack of praise from attorneys? I'm not someone who needs to hear "good job" all the time, but we just got a huge deal closed that I worked really hard on and had a lot of overtime. And once it closed, the lead attorney praised the other attorneys, and said nothing about me or my work. I might just be overly sensitive, but it kind of stung. Thoughts?
