Client wasn't happy with performance reading data in the US from Europe. Spent 40 minutes explaining about the speed of light, curvature of the earth, how it wasn't one long fibre optic between source and destination, and how it was impossible to achieve what they were asking for. They agreed to move on but would check the maths later 😅

Might be a long shot but anyone interested in joining a lease for a duplex in the RiNo area? Intended roommate backed out at the last minute. Room is master bed/bath in a 2 bed 2.5 bath duplex, 2 cats, rent (inc utilities) is $1,250.

Recently received an offer from Ogletree to do only class action work. It'll be a big change for me, I'll be starting as a fourth year. Double my current salary, etc.

What will this be like? It's more of a niche, but lucrative, part of their practice, right? Will I really get good WLB like they claim? I have a nice 40 hour a week job right now, no billables.
