What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Hi fishes, do you get paid by the hour or receive a salary?

Have I just had bad luck with the companies I've been at or is it like this everywhere? I've had 7 managers in my 4 years of experience, 3 in one year at my first position (which is why I left) and now 4 at the 2nd company in 3 years. There has been a mix of people leaving and people getting fired but the instability feels extreme.

Just accepted a position as a Claim Specialist (Salaried) at State Farm in Atlanta. Start date is pushed out couple months from now. Does anyone know if the company pays twice a month, or biweekly? Forgot to ask the recruiter.

Interviewing for senior audit role at a small tech company, interviewed with 7 people so far. Recruiter ghosts me for 1 month and now she wants me to do more interviews. During the 1 month of ghosting I applied for an internal transfer at EY and have interview next week. If I get the transfer, I’d rather stay at EY - should I decline or accept the tech company’s 8th interview?

Hi folks,

what is the standard salary of Adobe campaign developer for 5.5 year experience candidate?

I’ve been at my new gig for just over a month now and haven’t really gotten much work / responsibilities despite having heard that everyone is very impressed and pleased with my work product. Weeks are looking like any where from 20 to 8 billable hours. I know it’s just a month-ish in, and I plan to ask for more work but I feel like the low hours just look bad / unacceptable.

Hey fishes,

I have an interview with EXL tomorrow and the tools are SQL, Power BI, NLP. So what questions can I expect around them?

Dm me if possible or you can just reply to this message.

Thank you!

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Need Desi Advice: I am investing money in one of my friends business and giving him $25K to expand his restaurant. He said he will give me back $2500 (every month) for the next 24 months. So, I basically will get my initial amount in 10 months and everything after it is profit. Just for safety, he will also be giving me 10 checks of $2500 each which I can use every month to get (at least) my principal amount back. I am wondering is there anything else that I should be doing… continued

By definition, most of the junior lawyers at law firms are somewhere on the back end of the Millennial generation. In a year or two, we are going to see mostly Gen Z first year associates.

Is anyone's legal team/law firm ready for this? Is it going to be a disaster? Work remote policies are probably getting the most attention, but how are people thinking about this new generation with a significant departure in attitudes toward professionalism?

Fellow lawyers with ADHD and other mental health needs, how do you avoid having to constantly cancel appointments due to such an unpredictable work schedule? The therapist I see now has a strict 48-hour cancellation policy and requires me to come in every 30 days in person for my prescriptions, but work things tend to come up unforeseeably and I then have to cancel at the very last minute. Do I talk to my firm about it? Are there providers that allow more flexible cancellations out there?

Associates that don’t wfh and work at the firm: do you keep your door open or closed? I usually keep mine closed to focus (the marketing dept is right in front of my office). Plus partners and senior associates will knock whenever they need me no matter how busy I look. Other juniors also have their doors shut. I’m asking because a partner once said that it’s best to have your door open when you’re a junior.

Missed a few things in a doc I drafted and partner emailed saying took them longer than expected to work on. Trying not to let it bother me but the insecurity is creeping in. Lateraled to firm 6 months ago and so far have good reviews but couple mistakes recently have me reeling. Prior firm had a toxic partner and I was constantly a mess. Finally got some confidence from this firm but now sliding.

Following a very mixed review the partners want to meet with me monthly to review my progress and support me in the things I need improvement such as communication and daily time entries. This is big law btw. It was put to me as we want to help you succeed but my deepest fear is that am getting PIPed or they’re laying the groundwork to exit me…One ☝️ person rated me as below expectations. I oscillate between taking this as a meaningful opportunity to improve or the worst case..Thoughts?
