I’m a mid level engineer and my team is overwhelmed. There’s more work than we can complete in the timelines that leadership/product has committed to, which is causing leadership to override technical decisions seemingly to meet those deadlines. An example would be routing all live traffic to a feature which was not fully tested, instead of waiting until testing is complete or having that change be dormant and the feature enabled later. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue?

Is standardizing or normalizing feature(s) for SARIMA(X) modeling necessary? I know it is for normal linear regression, but not 100% sure if it is for auto-regressive time series models. Interestingly, I'm having trouble finding anything online on the topic. TIA for the help!

Had a minor back injury (should heal on its own) but I don’t think sitting in an office chair all day is helping. Any ideas to make it more bearable?

I never understood why lawyers use so much drugs until I became a partner. I use adderal to stay up for 18 hours a day and a lot of pot to relax and sleep at night. I know understand why drug use is a thing in this profession

Suppose my hypothetical AssociateOP, LLP firm had a revenue dip in April and May, but we got things back up and running again and made bank in 2020, so our revenue and profit was about the same as in 2019. Would a "sorry there was a pandemic, no bonuses this year even if you made hours" fly with associates or should the firm be honest about its numbers?

Not gonna lie. That 1500 hours a year is sounding real sign me up-ish.

How many of your firms do mid-year reviews and do those come with raises/bonuses?

I’m looking to move from big law to in-house, preferably tech. I’m in NYC and have ten years of litigation experience, all in big law.
