Ratios of Admins to Attys at your big law? My firm has first through fourth year associates using a pool system and assigns 5th years and up to an admin. Each admin has 7-9 attys. Word on the street is ratios may increase. Trying to get centralized billing so admins do less. Meanwhile they can’t seem to keep our billing folks from leaving. It’s been a crazy year and lots of disappointing moves.

I have a 5 on 1 desk.

We’ve finally dialed into 4 on 1. It was a rough go and retention of Assistants wasn’t great since the Plandemic. However we do everything, from calendaring, administrative tasks, filings and most initial shell pleadings even though we do have one word processor for the entire firm. In my opinion I need a 5 on 1 to stay out of trouble.

3 to 1

Hello All, I’m a project manager but seeking to pivot into UX Research. I do have some experience but don’t have a portfolio yet. Can anyone advise if I should focus on going through a bootcamp or focus on getting a Masters in HCI? Or just building a portfolio with the experience I do have? There are very few entry-level roles and many places are only hiring “Sr UXR” with 3-5+ years of experience! Any tips on how to break into this field and/or stand out as a junior applicant?? Thanks!

Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me

Benefits Question: how is the health insurance where you are? How does your employer handle it?

This has become one of the most important things when interviewing for me. My last employer went from having no insurance option to giving us one terrible plan that they contributed 50% towards. My current employer works with Gravie so we get so much per month and can use it towards any plan on the marketplace. Only thing that sucks is the contributions are post-tax so it counts as income.

What billing software does your firm use? Our firm uses Clio and my managing partner hates it. He has asked me to research and find something better.
