Hi guys, Its been almost 2 months since my interview happened. I got an email asking me to upload the docs just 2 days after the interview date. The documents are uploaded and also verified on the ibegin portal on 22nd Feb. The HR called later on 11th March for the basic discussion on the salary and since then it shows "evaluation in process", but nothing after that. The HR as usual didnt pick my call.

I have a video interview this afternoon for a role I applied to even though I didn’t think I was quite qualified for yet. I applied because it does align with everything I know besides bookkeeping. I figure they must be interested to request a video interview. Any tips on how I should go about selling myself and making myself stand out even though I am not experienced in the bookkeeping part of this job?

Hi! This is post is for a friend who was recently laid off due to budget constraints at their company. They’re actively looking for new roles in Business Analytics, Finance or a combination of both. Any referral would be extremely appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I currently work at a company that I really enjoy but can no longer afford to live on the salary. I have worked in the position for almost a year. Should I ask for a raise and explain that I can’t continue to work there due to the salary or just move on and try to find another role? (I have a graduate degree and make $65,000 as a data analyst using SQL)

I had an interview “chat” with an hr manager Monday - went really well.I followed up with a letter going through the highlights of what they were looking for. I got a request at 3pm on Friday to arrange another “chat” next week. Thoughts ? This is my first time interviewing over the phone for a chat ..

So what’s happening in the local shops? Layoffs? Hiring freezes?

Howdy Sales Fishes - I’ve got an interview coming up and the recruiter prepared me by sharing that the interviewer may be low energy intentionally. Does any have a best practice for tactfully responding to this behavior or should I just persevere?

I have a $60k sign on bonus coming in, after tax around $42k. I’ve never had this amount of money before and want to spend it wisely and maybe invest… what would you recommend? I was thinking of buying a home but the buying market is so bad right now in my city (Dallas, TX)… any and all recommendations welcome!

US immigration related question: My wife’s prior employer filed in EB2 and she got a i140, but later the employer revoked it after she moved to a new company. The new company started the process all over again and she got her i140 approved, but we realized they filed it in EB3!! Her priority date is current in EB2. Has anyone been in this situation? She was really hoping to file for i485. Is there anyway this can be remediated?

Where do y'all get your lumber?

Does GSB only allow one GRE score? I took it twice and wanted to submit both but see that they only allow one. Is that right? Why would they do that?

I’m looking for recommendations to buy a 3-4 b/r house near UTD. I’m fine with Plano, Frisco, Coppell areas. Any thoughts on areas which are recommended. Good schools. New/remodeled properties

Any recommendations for debt collectors (fintech company)?

At a biglaw firm now, in the final round for a FAANG product counsel role. I just learned that one of the partners at the firm is involved in a big case adverse to the company I’m interviewing at. I have not worked on the case. Do companies run conflicts checks, do ethical walls, etc.? Could this be a problem if I get an offer?

Do you ever feel overqualified for the job? I’m a recent hire but those being hired around me are significantly less relevant experience and I feel I’m carry a brunt of the weight. How would you resolve this feeling or spread work around?

Anyone here been to the ACC annual conference? Is it worth it?

Super last minute but any chance any of you have some good suggestions for questions to ask a candidate in an interview for a legal ops manager position? We’re an extremely understaffed and overworked team consisting of a GC, three additional attorneys, and a shared admin at a fintech that grew at an insane pace over the past couple of years. Thank you!!

Hi - hoping to get some insight/advice. I’ve been in house at a large private company for a year in a general corporate role (governance, M&A, etc.). I work with the global teams (so it’s a 24 hour job) and it’s relentless—non-legal teams constantly dump work they don’t want to deal with on my 2 person team, but then disappear if there’s something in their remit that I need help with. There’s also just not enough hours in the day to get my work done. Is it like that everywhere?

Applying for some in-house M&A jobs, and a big focus is being able to run deals. I of course feel very comfortable running deals from the corporate side and managing multiple teams, but have obviously always had an army of specialists in biglaw. How does this work in house? I’m primarily thinking from a tax perspective — I likely wouldn’t be able to structure a deal (and don’t think many of my peers could either) since we always rely on a tax team, but not sure if that is an expectation.

3rd year in Big Law. In the final round of an interview where the total comp is still well over 200k. My firm doesn’t pay market now so it’s not a huge cut. I’m trying to think of reasons why I wouldn’t want the job. Any insights? I can’t tell if it’s just a general fear of leaving my firm in the lurch (even though it’s to a client)

Hi all! I’m a recent transplant to the USA, foreign qualified in New Zealand. Worked on global issues with counterparts across the world. Have experience in startups, international contracting, litigation and foreign policy. Finding it hard for someone to take my experience seriously. Ideally would like to work in-house as I have experience. I’ve interviewed with a few tech companies with global offices but nothing has progressed. Am now reluctantly sitting the bar. Any advice?

How did you guys come to terms with the in-house pay cut? Biglaw is the worst and I’m ready to leave (surprised I haven’t rage quit already after 7 years) but I’m getting cold feet about the 6 figure pay cut. Have an offer at a super cool company with seemingly awesome people, culture + equity upside (PE sponsor wants to exit in 3-4 years) and feel so energized by the role but my golden handcuffs!! Someone give me your sage advice!

Any insights on reporting time spent on each project and challenges requested by the manager? Thanks!

I’m considering an offer and have questions: 1) how do raises work within salary bands? if I’m already at the top of the band, does that mean I get nothing until I move up? 2) what questions do I want to ask about equity (public company)? 3) is it possible to negotiate health insurance starting early? Worried I’m going to be told to leave on the spot once I give notice and will lose benefits too quickly.

Which books would you recommend for in house counsel about strategy, management, and leadership?

Asking as product counsel for tech startup.

In other industries exiting after a few months for a diff opp is a faux pas. Is that the same when jumping from in-house to in-house? Having difficulties getting along with my new boss and thinking of jumping ship. Ofc I will try my best to make it work but curious what the consensus is.

Is two weeks an appropriate notice to give? For context, I have a pretty understaffed legal team.

Are there any exit options after taking a discovery counsel role at Google? The job description is so narrow & I’m a mid-level with a lot of career ahead. I’m wondering if I’ll be stuck in similar positions &/or what the upward mobility is like for this position?

How long can you take to accept an offer? I received a forma offer today and have one more interview with another company for another position that I’m considering. I expect that the other company will let me know if they plan to make an offer by the end of the week. I am seriously considering both and want to give each a chance. Is a week acceptable to accept an offer?

Looking for hope/motivation: Is it possible to move in house to a private equity firm with a non-traditional background? Have an MBA (not top but nationally recognized) with several years non-practice industry (risk/compliance/research) experience prior to being barred and currently at a boutique firm doing securities/private equity/Corp. looking to possibly move as 3-5 yr associate. I know anything is possible but not coming from big law and the non-traditional background make me question it.
