I'm def taking a wait-and-see. I think that block-chain tech is very exciting generally, but I feel it has a much more limited application in the media/entertainment/IP fields than what the hype (yes, I said the H-word) suggests.

At the end of the day, it's simply a transaction verification system with an admittedly great anti-fraud/theft mechanism built in. I think it could have TREMENDOUS potential in the area of IP transactions. The idea of "smart contracts" (which to me seems more like just a de-centralized eschrow management system; removing the need for an eschrow agent) is cool. And the idea of being able to use a Copyright Office token to register a transfer or option, for instance, instead of going through the rigamarole of the reg paperwork, for instance, would be SO much more efficient and practical. But ultimately, that's just for doing chain-of-title work.

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring. I’ve been in HR now for about six years and have never had a mentor. I’ve been relying mostly on SHRM and other people in the company for feedback. Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Want to get a sense check. Typical English firm salaries in London are about 70% Cravath (unless you're at one of the US firms that benchmarks to Cravath scale offices). 2PQE is around 165k USD + 30k bonus assuming 1800 billables. So comparing at a firm where you roughly bill 1900-2000 a year, you lose out, but if you bill 2200+, that's comparable?

Thinking aloud here - if you can find that 2000-billing firm, no sense staying in that payscale unless you have a shot at equity?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at my firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
