Question for the bowl: I am a corporate associate and i’m not busy at all. Literally havent been staffed in two months. I want to do more pro bono work.

Is it common practice for associates to have to wait on the firm to send pro bono opportunities or is it common for associates to go out on their own by reaching out to outside organizations for opportunities?

If so, are there any organizations that anyone could recommend?

Exhausted from all the linked lists I had to reverse this week.

So they recently upped the quota of linked lists we need to reverse this month to 56 (a 34% increase!) and I'm not sure my team can keep up the pace. We're working as fast as we can but pointing the nexts takes a lot of focus, and we're just worried the higher ups are sacrificing the quality of these linked lists for quantity.

What should I do???

Hey nurses, did you become a CNA first? Or go straight into a nursing program? My cousin wants to become a nurse and, I'm going to be totally frank here, I don't think he can hack it. I recommended that he maybe do his CNA first to get a taste for it, but he's insisting he's prepared to nursing. Part of me is worried because a lottttt of people in my cohort in school were regularly partying and doing hard subs (was this the same for others??), and my cousin is susceptible to peer pressure.

I cannot decide between two offers at good firms. One offer is financially much better but is “lower” on the ranking list (to the extent that even matters). The other firm came up but still not mathematically the same. The work is the same except they are on opposite sides for the most part. What to do?

Considering possible relocation to Atlanta for family reasons. Anyone know a good recruiter who would give me a lay of the big law land?

Cahill Gordon announced earlier today. Inappropriately only commended the efforts of mid-levels and senior associates in the email and noted they had to deal with challenging circumstances. They gave mid-levels and seniors above market bonuses. As if they partners couldn’t be clearer they want juniors to leave. Bye Felicia.
