M1 - what?

While employed at the Veteran’s Medical Center,
I attended a mandatory training on racial and gender
discrimination. They vigorously denied that the VA practiced any form of discrimination. They even encouraged us to file a complaint, if we believed we had been victims of discrimination.
Later I did file a complaint and realized that the training was just for “show.” Women were transferred for complaints to other departments.
Women who were considered for promotions based on whether they had undergone a hysterectomy!!

How long were you clerking? Has your pension vested? If so, pretty sure you still qualify to take it even though you’ve been fired. If you’re comfortable sharing (or DMing) what court did you work for? I clerked at the PA state supreme court. It’s really shitty of whatever judge did this to you.

I've been interviewing with another company for about a month. The whole process has been 3 interviews over a months time. I have been in my current role over 6+ years (as HR mgr) and it's very transactional and not very strategic. The new company wants someone to lead a team from a senior level (HR Director) - what advice do you have for taking the next step in my career? I'm likely going to take the offer if it comes.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

7 year lawyer here. Been with the same big national firm all 7 years (not BigLaw) doing complex litigation. Been working remote a long time due to moving around for wife’s job. As a result of the moving was bumped off partner track. I’m looking at a great small firm that will be a practice change (but still litigation). I’m told they’re looking for someone with less experience and they’re skeptical because of my experience. It’s frustrating. How do I overcome this?
