I had a divorce mediation last week. The client wasn’t thrilled with the results (is anyone after mediation?) but we left with the two things she wanted: the house and her pension. She thanked me. My office sent the bill a few days later, and client wrote my boss a very long, angry email claiming I gave her incompetent representation. My boss backed me 100%, but I haven’t been practicing very long, so it really stung. Anyone have advice on dealing with self doubt in these situations?

Hi all I’m getting married in Spain. Should it invite the partner I work for? I really only do his work and he is my mentor and super kind / gives me a ton of responsibility but I’m not sure I want him at my wedding seeing my friends family and I interact. Especially in Spain for a weekend. Is that wrong?

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?

Whenever customers call the front desk, it seems like the receptionist always forwards them to my number even though I have reminded him there are several other people who are also supposed to answer the phones. It's really cutting into the time I can dedicate to other work. Is there anything I can do other than talking to our boss about it directly? I don't want to get the receptionist in trouble.

I’m a young(ish) male running a private practice. Been with the group a year and a half and haven’t exactly gelled with some of the older employees. We’ve made tremendous financial improvements but in a meeting last night one of the physicians stated, in front of me, maybe we shouldn’t have hired a young guy to run the practice….I can’t think of a more passive aggressive way to ask someone to leave. Thoughts?

What are some good books to read if I want to learn how to better show up for the team as a manager?

I get terrible anxiety talking to my boss or sharing any of my work / thoughts / ideas with them, because I know it'll more often than not be torn to shreds / be cut down. I've only had it with this boss.

How do I navigate / deal with this? Is it just a mindset change that I need to adopt?

2.5 YOE, 6.2 LPA Mainframe, recently got an offer from TCS for Mainframe Developer position with 7.5Lpa. My project Director called me and willing to match the salary here in Cognizant. He said i will be eligible for yearly hike as well.

Please suggest if truly I will be eligible for yearly hike after being retained and is it good to stay overall.

P.S - TCS gave 7.5 on top of 5.1 LPA, 6.2 is what i got recently in April promotion for Associate.

I’ve gotten asked how I deal with feedback in two different interviews recently. Anyone have an idea of what a good answer would be?

Anyone else sick of equity partners constantly telling their practice groups that the market is cooling off and everyone should step it up?

I’m interested. How do you do collaborate on documents? For me it was always scribbles on a printed document handed to me to type in by a partner. I still get this. Also get photos of markups. Some have learned track changes. Some put arrows on a PDF redline. I prefer track changes because I don’t have to spend time typing stuff manually into documents. What are others views?

Hunton AK - Capital Markets group in Houston… yay or nay?

Is it normal to struggle with the transition to starting your first legal job? I did all the things - graduated law school, passed the bar, started at the big law firm that gave me my SA offer 2 years ago… Now, I’m feeling miserable. It’s only been 2 weeks and I’m not particularly enjoying work. I was totally burnt out on law school at the end and it was a struggle to finish. I figured I was just “over” the law school grind. Now I wonder if I’m actually “over” the law. (Cont’d below)

What's your biggest struggle as a junior lawyer?

London Biglaw: heard layoffs are happening and/or imminent. In a team meeting we got the usual shill about no promises for the next year. Needless to say, the question of the day has gone from “how much is my bonus” to “will I be around here next year”. What’s the sitch like for everyone?

So Baker Mckenzie is officially V2 now until we hear from DPW/Milbank, and if the latter two also follow the “BM scale”, I guess BM’s marketing team made up for the mistake of announcing first last year by announcing first this year. Brilliant move!
