Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project.

Hello all, I hope you’re all having a fantastic day/evening. I’m a Case Manager for TZ Insurance, aka Tranzact. Does anyone know of anything I could apply for at other companies/positions with my skill set? I don’t want to be a sales agent, though I have a Health/Life Insurance License in my state (& a few others). I review new applications with clients.

Should I just quit the legal field?

I have been a paralegal or legal assistant since 2010. I have worked for small and large firms and a TPA. I've worked in L&E, PI, and ID. Billing hours gave me nightmares. Right now I'm in a hybrid paralegal/LA position where I'm responsible for all of the docketing and supporting the managing partner and 1 associate and their 90+ ID caseload. I make a lot of mistakes everywhere I work. I feel so incompetent. Should I just abandon this career path?

Wells Fargo laying off thousands! How will this effect WFA?

On a vacation with my long distance boyfriend for the first time. He hasn’t been feeling well so we’ve been spending a lot of time inside hotels. It’s honestly been making me so frustrated and sad. Ik he can’t help how he feels rn but part of me thinks he just wants to lay in bed on his phone all day as he did this before he felt crappy too. Travel is so important to me and part of being on this trip is making me think it won’t work.

First time investor and trying to do tax filing. If you bought the same coin or stock at 100 and then next day at 200 (cost basis 150 per share/coin is), and your investment goes up to 600, (300 per share/coin) and you sell only one share/coin and receive 300, does that still create taxable event or is it considered just taking out your principal investment amount until you sell more than 300? Also is transferring coin from one wallet to another a taxable event or considered selling/buying?

In CA, if an employee has to call his employer the night before to see if they are scheduled to work the following day, do they need to be compensated anything if they are NOT called in? For instance, let’s say this person kept the following day open and did not make any plans only to find out at 9pm the previous day that he is not needed. If he was called in, he would not have the option to turn it down.

I am looking to leave my very small law firm firm and considering going to a much larger firm. I have some clients that were brought in by other partners but I am deeply entrenched in their work. It would not be easy for another lawyer to get up to speed, but the client contact is technically with another lawyer and I am working with that lawyer also on the file. I also have one client where we could really use some more bodies on the file. More in comments.

Any advice for a junior lawyer trying to move from litigation to corporate? My firm is in a unique situation in that the associates working in corporate have largely left (for explainable reasons) or are on leave, the partners know that they need more associates doing this work, and they’re willing to train me, but as a second year lawyer who’s been doing almost exclusively litigation, the learning curve seems SO steep. I badly want out of litigation and I’d love to jump on this!

Is anyone who survived severe disease still in the legal industry?
I am currently suffering from a disease that no doctor knows what it is. I am focused on medical treatment now. But deeply worried about how long I can live and whether it is still worth working hard if I am doomed to die young.

I had a break down in law school. I was briefly hospitalized and missed part of a semester. I feel guilty about it. I have issues, but looking back a lot of it was a combination of my existing alcohol use, depression, and immaturity. I have flashes of memories of me begging to be hospitalized because I felt so sad and afraid of failure. I don't know why I acted that way,. I don't like that person, and it's hard for me to imagine a world where I find peace despite my terrible behavior. Cont

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?
