I have Canadian colleagues who were able to practice in Cal when they first arrived as long as they wrote the bar in a specific timeframe and the firms paid them for the time off (6 weeks) to study. It may be possible to practice in some capacity while you’re waiting if you similarly take the bar in a certain amount of time after you arrive….

Was given a copy of my first evaluation from administration (this is my fourth year working for the school district). Admin didn't know that I went to central office the spring semester of my second year to get a copy of that eval.
When looking at both evals, I found that Admin changed some things after I got my copy which lowered my overall score. Went to my union rep about it, and now I have a conference with my principal. Did I do the right thing, or should I have just let it be?

Writing skills

Wondering what everything things about a creative that’s being asked to write. At least a little bit. I used to love to write back in college but it’s a skill and perspective I’ve lost over the last 15 years. Is it just a matter of doing it, reading others work and practicing until I’m comfortable? Would love to get to a point where I can hand over concept to a pro who can make it even better.

What is the salary range for Data Team Lead (Clinical Data Management)? I am a CDM Professional with YOE 6.4 Years.

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.

This is not exactly a confession but I don’t know where to park it and I need to say it out loud. Today is going to be the first day of a whole new life - I’m going to take care of my self mentally and physically, I’m going to let go of relationships that don’t work for it as much as I do. I’m going to focus on the things that really matter - myself, family, and the handful of friends that really show up. Above all, I’m going to believe in myself and not let anyone else crush my soul.

When a recruiter contacts you to say “your background is of interest to me” for “a role I have been contracted to fill”, have they actually been specifically contacted by the firm, and maybe should be treated more like a hiring manager who is truly evaluating you? Or are they simply matching you to some posting they can see online and trying to set up a recruiting relationship with you? Fine either way, just want to know.

Is the stated salary in line with their other Tech. Trans. associates? Do they negotiate salaries for laterals?
