Sometimes I feel like I'm not a real lawyer because my job is completely remote and I feel like other people look down on me. Is this just my own insecurity.

The work you do in and of itself should speak for you, not so much WHERE you work.

When you feel a sense of imposter syndrome, maybe ask yourself what matters more ⚖️:

a. The impact you are responsible for
b. Where you sit when you’re doing the work

Unless you’re a litigator and it requires you to be on-site, I don’t see why being remote makes you any lesser. 👩🏻‍⚖️👨🏾‍⚖️🧑🏼‍⚖️

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer? Should I ask for more equity or is that standard? They’re public (currently ~$20)should I get the hybrid option in writing?

I’ll start hooking up with someone with no intention of dating them because of red flags, but if the sex is good I want to lock it down for the future (even if we are not compatible in our personality, I’ll start to see them in a positive way and flirt more since it makes the sex even better)! The guy starts to think I want a relationship (which is half true) and then distances himself. Anyone else go through this cycle?
