Hi Fishes, I am asked if I am comfortable with Day/Night shifts. I need to say YES or NO. For Microsoft . I am very interested in joining Microsoft but I am not comfortable with shifts. Can I say YES for now and then No? I have no experience in product based company, can someone please suggest how things will go ahead if I say No?
Anyone want to hit up beltline tonight??

"We care about diversity. Diversity matters. We have women initiatives and minority programs."
"Let's do 23 and me or ancestry on our lawyers (90% white men) to add more diversity to our sheets instead of trying to recruit and retain women and minorities" @ the diversity committee meeting.

Secondary/tertiary market that “did things differently” than the major market I was coming from, more lifestyle, attorneys have time to be with their families here, etc.
Nope. More of a sweatshop than my last firm, and it wasn’t even close.
We care about mental health and your well-being during Covid.
Fast forward...everyone gets Covid. We don’t offer Covid leave policy. You need to still work and we won’t adjust for hours.
Nice!
My firm promised a good chance for partnership, then refused to count any experience from prior firms towards the associate skills checklist. Awesome for someone lateraling 6 years out.
Happened to me as well. I got 2 years credit for 7 years exp. I have to wait 4 more years for partnership.
