Depends. If they are a bakery named Brown Sugar LLC that is probably fine. But if they are an Eagles-themed boutique hotel called Hotel California LLC then they should expect a cease and desist letter.

Anyone have undesirable side effects from the meds that you take for depression or anxiety? How do you cope with them? For me, the side effects are the lesser of two evils, because the meds themselves are working for me.

I take Bupropion (Wellbutrin), and is effective in helping me with my depression, but the side effect that I experience, memory issues, is pronounced and bothersome. My psychiatrist and I tried reducing my dosage, and it lessened the side effect, but it became quite clear that I needed to revert to my normal dosage to address my depression.

At one point we tried a "cocktail" by adding a small dose of Abilify, but that med was disastrous for me, and I needed to curtail it for my own well being (YMMV).

Are any firms paying sign-on bonuses? I'm currently interviewing for several in-house roles (FAANG) and sign-on bonuses seem to be the norm. This coupled with stock awards really blows my current Cravath-scale salary out of the water. Not sure why we keep perpetuating the myth that the money is only at firms. Sure, it's probably true for the 5% who will be equity partners, but for the rest of us it seems like in-house can be just as lucrative or even better.

Lateraled 6 months ago and it’s not going well. I’ve gotten some positive feedback here and there, but I’m also been scolded a number of times and it’s pretty clear I’m not up to their expectations.

Hi, I’d really appreciate any advice. I was offered an in house position requiring a highly specialized area of law, which I have, but they offered 20k less than what the job posting originally said. Their rationale is I have less years of experience than they were looking for. Other candidates had more years of practicing experience but less experience with this industry so I beat them out. I want to negotiate for the original salary posted. Not sure if relevant but I’m a woman of color.
