What was everyone's biggest legal success?

We should change the name of this bowl to EY Alumni

Let’s discuss “acting managers” that never get promoted because they can’t pass their CPA. Do you think at a certain point they should be pushed out?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Anyone have recommendations on the best resources for PE recruiting prep, assuming I’m starting from square 1 (aka little knowledge of private equity mechanics)? Thank you!! 🙏🏻

My boss doesnt give any feedback about my work. How can I get him to give me better direction?

Hi All,

I am desperately trying to switch.

But How will we handle 90days notice period?
I think I m not getting calls due to long NP.

Just got an offer to a BB. How do I popcorn this into more?

After nearly 20 years in the military serving in T&E and HR roles, I’m considering moving on and have been conducting lots of research into consulting. BS, MA, and SPHR cert - no MBA. I’m looking for suggestions or advise about transitioning. DC Metro area is likely landing spot.

Do you like humor incorporated into resumes? Why or why not?

Anyone here have knowledge about viasat? Pto, culture, etc?

I’m an international student with MSc in CyberSecurity. I’m in search of a company willing to sponsor my green card. I’m proficient in Cloud Security with certifications and projects to show for it. Any potential employer can please reach out.

I joined Amdocs in Smartops unit recently and I am not happy with the work I am getting, its production support. What to do now?

Ah!! Who else watched episode 6?

Hi everyone, would anyone know how many years of experience as a minimum is required for the programme manager role in GCP? Doesn’t say anywhere on the job description, TIA!

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

Have you ever joined a firm purely based on how many POC would be in your practice area?

Not legal-related but: thoughts on A Jazzman’s Blues? I loved it. Been a while since a movie has stayed on my mind long after it ended, like this one has. Shocking Tyler Perry wrote it. “Paper Airplanes” is a hauntingly beautiful song.

I’m a woman of color and my legal assistant is a white man…this feels…good?

0 partners of color in group of 20 partners

Was told the lack of diverse partnership was because there wasn’t good minorities to hire. How do I even address this stupidity.

I know there's a lot going on, has anyone been following the Brittney Griner case? Do you think President Biden is going to do anything?

Just saw this quote from the Minari movie ads and it kinda reminded me of being in BigLaw:
“Minari grows: It comes in the pockets of immigrants, dies in the first year, thrives in the second, and purifies the water and the soil around it.”

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Does anyone in this group have ADHD? Are you finding that working in a law firm setting and billing hours is just not something they can do or is it possible with the proper medication and therapy?

I don’t cut my hours, I consistently reach 7 hours a day, but it’s not enough to meet my firm’s minimum requirement. I’m usually working 9 hours/day.

How do I professionally decline a second interview? I know for sure I don’t want to work at the firm.

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢

Did anyone from your past tell you you wouldnt make it as a lawyer? Did you ever rub it in their face later that you in fact did?? 😂

I’m a newly barred attorney in Atlanta, Ga and I need two things: (1) a mentor who has time to be a mentor; and (2) a job opportunity. I am open to being a staff attorney or junior associate. CAN YALL HELP ME PLEASE?!?

Thinking of pivoting from insurance defense to something more meaningful and (dare I say it) with more work life balance. Currently in my 7th year of practice and am just tired of ID. Anyone make the transition? Any advice?

Today is the first day of the new work week! What are your goals for this week?

Ketanji did not come to play! Came out of the gate ready to fight and turn these racist arguments on their heads. The way she was dropping 14th Amendment bombs on that man made me so happy. And this is only her first day. I just hope they protect her well.

What are some good websites to use for searching and applying for job postings? I am looking to lateral and have been using LinkedIn and Indeed so far. Any other ideas?

Anybody having to participate in/listen to discussions at work regarding the recent events at the Capitol where your views are in contrast to others in the discussion? If so, how have you handled this?
