Sales engineers, or any one in a Presales tech engineer role. How do you deal with a sales rep who used to be a a sales engineer? I know that is vague. I have been doing this for a while. I even dabbled in multiple sales roles at smaller companies. My issue is not agreeing with their approach at times. It could be a clash mostly in style. Might be my ego. Just wanted to a chat going. Side note. I mentor folks who are starting as SEs but sometimes the mentor needs to be the mentee.

Any suggestions for Client Facing Account Manager making pivot to Analyst position ? Certifications ?

What is your onboarding process from offer to first day? I am looking to streamline our process. I use BambooHR, and payroll is Paylocity.

What are your plans to balance work responsibilities with schools closing? They are now saying schools in my area might close for a month and curious how other families are handling.

24, a decent amount of savings in the bank. I’m sort of interested in buying a property in the next few years.
Is this a good or bad idea? I live in Ny area, so obviously the city would probably be too expensive to buy any property. Would probably have to buy further out in westchester, Long Island, maybe connecticut or NJ. If I buy, should I be living there? Or should I rent it out until I’m ready to live there (assuming it’s a bit further from the city). Very early stages of just thinking

Whats the difference between NY biglaw and other biglaw?

Anyone here have advice or open to connecting about consulting and/or recruiting FT 2022? I’m finishing up my studies, have experience in business but new to consulting. I’m always seeking to learn as much as possible! Thanks.

Dumping 20% of my paycheck into the Roth 401k. Gotta take advantage of my ultra low tax rate my first year. Taxation is theft.

does anyone have experience as a virtual assistant? i’m looking to earn more money, and have heard good things about being a VA but would love to talk to someone about how they got started.

Who’s buying Oracle at open?

Moving into a 9 x 12 room. Always slept in a queen size bed, but considering a full size to save on space. Currently single. Is a full size bed a decent option here? Will I regret it?

Are full guaranteed year end bonuses pretty standard in big law lateraling around this time of year?

Thought I would work less hours when I started my own business. After 4 years in business I know that's laughable. Wish I could back and give myself advice. What would you tell yourself?

Why is it that when we’re sick, we go to a doctor, when we are in legal trouble, we turn to a lawyer, when we need help building a house, we turn to advice from an architect, but when it comes to deen we think we are the experts and not the scholars who’ve spent their life studying theology and Islam. Such hypocrisy

Any other Penn JD's here? Feeling slightly weird about the renaming. Of course a gift of $125 mil allows a donor to make all sorts of demands. But seeing it so clearly...wow

Name all legal jobs that do not use billable hours.

Corporate transactions versus Litigation as a practice area?

Anyone have any suggestions for a traveling elder attorney in Queens/Brookyn, NY area?

Anyone have to deal with office drama? My office manager is a pain in the butt to deal with and causes unnecessary drama. Sometimes it gets to the partners. If its about me I like to speak up but I worry that I’ll get fired for speaking up.

Client confidentiality question:
I do UHNW luxury good transactions. About a year ago we represented buyer and seller on a deal. Deal fell apart because the buyer was shady and actively trying to engage in illegal acts. Buyer reached out asking us to represent them in a new purchase attempt, we declined.

They found new counsel and made an offer on the same asset. The owner doesn’t wish to engage with them. Can I give the owners reasons to the new counsel without violating duty to my old client

Help me understand: I applied and firm asked me for a meeting with a partner. Met with partner and it went well. At end of interview, partner told me that the firm has already brought on junior associates and cannot take on any more until around Q1 maybe (which I already knew and was fine with) but this means the firm cannot commit to continuing the interview process yet and I should keep in touch and f-u in a few months.

My Q: why start the process with first meet and then pause?

I just made a transition from ID to commercial litigation/corporate transactional practice. What kinds of CLEs would y’all recommend I take? Also — I’ve heard that boutique firms in my practice area generally have lower billable hour requirements but for more money. Is that because it’s more complex work that takes longer? Or is there something else I’m missing? Thanks y’all!

Would poor law school grades disqualify me from NYU’s tax LLM program (firm will pay for it).

Moving to TX and worried about having to take the bar again. It will almost be 5 years of practicing law so I should be able to waive in, right? Any tips or advice?

What do you do when you’re researching with a partner and you’re coming up totally blank!?

Anyone else struggle to bill with the warm weather? I feel like my mind is in summer-mode and work is slow enough where I don’t have deadlines forcing my nose to the grindstone.

Thinking Trump tax return thoughts tonight.... I wish I could write my student loan payments off as a business expense.

Anyone have success lateraling several times in their earlier years? Advice on how to navigate this? My recruiter told me it may be a ding against me.

In New Jersey, can you get half of the realtor fee back if you represent yourself when buying a house? That is the case in some states.

I can't stand when people don't understand that if you don't do things the right way and I have to redo them it's an issue.

Does anybody feel pretty demoralized with their salary and amount of work they do? (I mean, I know the general consensus is yes for our field.) I don’t want to write a long emotional rant but I’m a year in, I make 100K, have 200K debt and with LA inflation, I feel like I can barely afford food. (Ramen is $20 now??) When I say “I feel” it’s because I’d still like to save a good amount and not live recklessly check to check. (Continued in comments)

Another post got me thinking. How much school debt do you have?

Anyone know what the lifestyle is like for a Legal Writing Professor at a decent law school?

Curious to hear from anyone who has successfully made the transition from bankruptcy to a broader practice (either litigation or transactional)
