Are they going to comp mileage? Most companies I’ve worked for even if project is considered local comp you the mileage beyond your commute to your local office. I’d suggest get a cheap used Honda or something for <$5k that’s easy to dump when you’re done driving it. Do you have parking expenses associated with your home?

1. Monthly payment
2. how practical is the car I want
3. how much is insurance going to run me
4. will I want this car in five years
5. is this a me car or a potential family car
6. are repairs overly expensive (yes if a foreign vehicle) 7. what’s the depreciation on the make/model
8. does it hold its value for resale
9. Is anyone else going to drive it
10. How is the car going to be driven: work, recreational, etc

How do you keep all of your notes-to-self organized? Not actual work product or drafts, but the kinds of things you jot down in meetings or as you’re working (e.g., “client prefers DE choice of law over NY” or “x agreement is best example of negotiated MSA”). I’m using OneNote, but I’m curious how others do it.
