Hey folks - I am looking into purchasing a 2-family home in HCOL area. One unit is being rented and the other would be owner occupied (me). After rent from tenants, mortgage would be around ~$4,200. HHI is around ~$235,000. Home price is $845,000 @ 5% down. Does this sound reasonable? Need advice if this is a good investment or I should fade away.

Tricky question: My company will put me in temporary housing for 2 months prior to me getting my own place (I am moving from out of state). So, the temporary house will be in Cambridge and I am right now interested with some rental houses in Arlington (haven't secured a contract yet). Am I allowed to sign my son up to a Kindergarten (public school) in Cambridge once I am in my temporary house and continue attending that school even if we end up moving to Arlington after 2 months?

Has anyone out there changed jobs while pregnant? If so, please share any advice or recommendations. I am relatively new to D, and I hate it so much, I don’t think I can stick it out even for the mat leave. I’ve never been this miserable at a job, so I’m actively applying despite being in my 2nd trimester. I’m not sure how / when to tell recruiters that I’m pregnant. Also considering going back to a firm with better WLB that I turned down to see if they might still have me…

When I started in this industry, it was all about radio and direct mail. Now, most are doing video content and influencer marketing. What do you think our children will be influenced by?

Female 🐠: basically all of my pores are visibly clogged and enlarged. I get breakouts from this regularly. What do I need to do? I assume I need to go to a spa or derm. Should I be seeking an extraction facial?

I'm waiting on a verdict for a civil jury trial (first one) and I want to go snowboarding tomorrow. They deliberated from 9-5 today with no verdict. Is it super frowned upon if I zoom in (it was a zoom trial) in a car or on the mountain or a lodge or something? Probably a dumb question but idk if receiving verdicts is a much more relaxed etiquette.

might be a dumb question, but can someone clarify sell side and buy side for me? Like if I work in IBD, I’m on sell side or is that not correct?

If serving notice period now, will i be applicable to receive the hile letter?

Litigation associates - what are some of yours best billing entry phrases for preparing for and taking a deposition?

What do recruiting firms do when there’s a major economic downturn?

DAE work slower than necessary on tasks they know they're allowed to allot more time to? Is this unethical? Feels like a dumb Q lol. For example, maybe ill tyyyype out something when i coulda just copy pasted it.

Me typing out "Answering Defendant reserves the right to supplement this answer as investigation and discover remain ongoing" 20 times cuz im otherwise too fast for my own good at interrogatories

Just came from a meeting with a junior partner who did not know what EBITDA was..

Small PI boutique, 6 attorneys. Partner told me I’d get a company car (hyundai) and said not to mention it to anyone, as they stopped giving out company cars last year. I know this is false - his car (audi) other partner’s car (acura) and two senior associates cars (bmw + volvo) are on company’s insurance policy. Is it normal for partners to outright lie about compensation/perks like this??

I spent almost 2 years trying to leave ID to get into labor and employment. Now that I'm in L&E, I think I almost miss ID. I'm not sure if it's because of my current firm, but I miss doing something I knew how to do, knew what to expect, and always had a steady flow of work.

Should an employment lawyer consider getting a PHR/SPHR certificate? Is it worthwhile?
A lot of in house opportunities seem to be looking for them

Telling opposing counsel to "file a motion" is the lawyerly way of saying "f*ck around and find out" lol

I have a client needing registered agents in 40 states. Preference is to have all the RAs under one company to make it easy to manage. We have heard bad things about CT and Harbor. Any recommendations I can pass along?

What does life look like for someone to hit 2300+ billable hours?

I’m a first year attorney at a small plaintiff’s firm. My firm has guaranteed me a $10k bonus at the end of 1 year without regard for my billable hours. They’ve also stated if I hit 2300 billable hours in my first year, they’ll add an additional $15k.

If my math checks out, that means I need to be billing ~45 hrs per week. But with only like 60% of my assignments being billable—how do I hit 2300+ and not die?

I’ve worked as a Paralegal at a large law firm since graduating law school because I was waiting to take the UBE exam in Ohio and wanted the experience of a large firm and gain hands-on legal experience. I complete traditional Paralegal tasks, but many first-year associate tasks due to my “advanced skill set.” Today, I received glowing reviews at my year-end review, but when discussing my goals I was told that I couldn’t transition into an attorney role because “large law firms don’t do that.” 😞

I once worked for a small firm and brought in home roasted coffee I made with imported raw beans for the entire office to try. I made a large enough French press and let everyone know there was just enough for everyone to have a cup. The big boss empties the entire French press into his large mug, chugs it and then compliments me on the flavor before walking away leaving everyone else without any.

What are some of your “partner is an asshole” stories?

Here’s how you know you hate biglaw more than the standard “being a junior is tough for everyone” line would assume. You get a jolt of excitement when you think about the prospect of failing the CA bar next Friday because it would mean time off to study to retake (or just getting fired).

Etiquette for asking for a raise/ tips on career advancement?

I'm at the end of my first year as a lawyer and I want to advance my career (a raise, maybe some perks) without coming off as an entitled brat. Do not want to burn bridges by asking for too much, but also don't want to be taken for granted.

I have exceeded the goals set for me with a full quarter left until my annual review.

How can I show my paralegal how much I appreciate her?

I’m on week 3 of being without a job after not being hired back at my firm after articling. I’ve been speaking/networking to lawyers almost every day but I’m feeling pretty defeated already. I’m interested in commercial real estate/ development/ and infrastructure and construction law. Just feel like it’s going to be hard to get my foot in any door related to that after only articling.

I worked/billed a ton last week and Monday and Tuesday this week, and then today I didn’t have any meetings or anything and just hit a brick wall - I slept until 10am and just dealt with accumulating non-billable stuff for almost all of the day. Now I feel terrible about it. How do you keep going? I feel awful about today and have such dread about all that I have to do tomorrow 😭 I’m in a new practice area and am super grateful for the work, but the learning curve is hard and I’m struggling!

Does anyone practice med mal defense in FL!? If so, please DM asap! Thanks!!!
