One thing that helped me (particularly for decisions where you’re unsure if you need a partner’s input) is to send an email with what you think should be done and your reasoning why (without burning too much time of course). A lot of the partners I work with love knowing that I have the thought process covered while still knowing that they have enough of an update to give a yes/no answer quickly. Also, it helps because they may point out a different way of looking at it that helps refine your thought process. Win-win.

I did the interviews with Amazon.

Round 1: HR round cleared.

Round 2: Hiring manager round. After round 2, HR said, there is restructuring in the team and the role no longer exist.

This happened in April. Now, I joined another company in june (not ecommerce).

Shall I apply again in amazon? I target L6.

Issue is: In past i worked in a company, left in 6 month (layoff due to covid). Now, in current company, I am only here for 3 months.

Its my 4th compny in 6 yrs. does it look bad on CV?

I'm a 1st year @ a civil lit defense firm. I summered here and got the "our firm culture is amazing, we want to grow and help you learn" pitch and accepted the offer of $75k, thinking that was what most other associates make (I'm 1st gen). But today I found out that associates with 4yrs experience are making $80k; for hitting the 1950 billable req., the bonus is $1k. I've also found there are big DEI problems that I can't overlook. It feels like the pitch was a big lie. Advice?

How does everyone handle managing their caseload and utilizing their paralegal(s)? I litigate primarily, with occasional small transactional projects that come up in the course of those files. It’s usually real estate related—drafting a purchase agreement, deed, etc. My firm is not one where we specialize so much that each case has the same process as every other case. So it often feels like I’m having to tackle something brand new in each and every case. (cont.)
