What’s the best way to approach relocating? I’m originally from Virginia and would love to move back to the Virginia/Maryland area. I relocated to Idaho to care for my dad after his stroke, but now that circumstances have shifted, I’m hoping to return home. I’m just not sure where to begin. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It's generally the case that it's easier to find a job where you are located. That doesn't mean you shouldn't start trying to locate a job back in your home region while still out west, but it might be difficult. Employers want to know you're serious about relocating. If you can move back it might help. Also, if you have any professional acquaintances back home definitely hit them up and tell them you're looking for work. A lot of times the solution to the job search will come down to networking.

first call with SF CSG Recruiter is scheduled for Senior Architect role. Appreciate insights from you all.
1. How is work life balance in CSG?
2. What is the typical billability target? Does one have to market oneself for billability or the Practice lead takes care of it?
3. Honestly- I have seen SF people pushing for products which are really not needed by clients. I can never do such a thing - so is there an expectation from the AE’s that Architects should do so?

TIA

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)? I’m not the decision maker, but it’s been a few weeks with very few applicants. I’m curious if there’s something hurting the firm in its search.

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.
