What’s the job market looking like in NYC?

AA ✈️💺 Benchmarking: I’m often curious as to the spend for folks above / below on the upgrade list.
Perhaps others are also curious, too?
Would AA folks post:
Home airport / EQD / EQM / EQS?

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration. Some of these matters are multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant cases, but none are class actions. This does not include any matters I am handling in the charge stage or in pre-litigation. Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?

I’m working for an ads platform company in Japan and thinking about moving to the US or elsewhere. Would love to hear your story, or I can share anything about working life in Tokyo!

My passport expired at the end of January. Can I still travel to india if I plan to return by early Jan (before passport expires)? Or does india require 6 months validity on the passport. It’s a US passport FWIW. I don’t have time to renew since it’ll take 3 months!Thanks!

Can partners comment whether Pwc is having another round of layoffs. This is so scary! Shouldn't they rid of partners who can't sell first?! Or pause hiring? Opp. cost to find and train talent again?

Train to Busan was a ok 👌

How do you get any work done when there is always someone pinging or calling you?

What are you all making 5 - 8 yrs post-mba? I ask bc much of my network are attorneys in that range post-law school and I want to compare salaries.

Hello! I’m a clinical healthcare worker and am currently working on a master’s in finance to pivot to healthcare consulting.

I’m trying to get an internship next summer (I have the time off work) but am having difficulty finding internships for non-MBA master’s degree candidates. (I have a clinical MA and doctorate & it’s been an auto-reject from analyst internships.)

Would anyone be willing to connect for internships or work for companies that love non-traditional candidates? Thank you

Surrounded by gorgeous ladies on my flight. Two in front of me, one across the isle, and another behind me. My neighbor? The goth with the Mohawk. 😑

Anyone work for Morgan Lewis Bockius? Specifically in Boston ?

I am prior military and went to law school. I had a family to take care of while I was a student, hence I went as fast as possible to get to a paycheck, graduating in 2 years, and bypassing the standard summer clerkships. How could I get some experience strictly remote? I am w-2 working as an accountant in healthcare, have passed the bar and am working on my CPA license (studying starts at 3 am, then work FT). I would like to eventually hang a shingle as a tax lawyer, but need experience. TIA!

Hello! Are there any traveling paralegals in the group? I’m interested in becoming one.

The thought of Attorneys talking down on Paralegals is sickening.

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.

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work. My position title is changing soon but I’m wondering how helpful that would be for wanting to go into PM work at a tech company. Anyone have any career pivot advice? (Also I’m only 1.5yrs old in my career so I’m definitely still new, and I have previous experience as a project assistant).

Do small law firms have paralegal managers?

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

How much do you make and how many years experience? I’m a senior para at a mid sized firm in Central FL. 10 years experience. I’m making $64k—fair salary?

When you walk in Friday morning to a dumpster fire of a file (that you’ve never worked on before) sitting on your desk, with no note or email to go with it. It’s as if I’m supposed to magically divine what to do with it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m currently a bankruptcy paralegal. Not sure I want to stay in bankruptcy forever. I’ve heard it can be really hard to change practice types and break into a new area of law. Anyone have experience or tips/advice on doing so?

Any paralegals here working at Nesenoff & Miltenberg LLP in Manhattan? How’s the culture, pay, and work and life balance?

90% of problems in the legal field would be solved if everyone set internal deadlines 2 days before the actual deadline 😭

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?

Looking for a REMOTE Paralegal Position in the Colorado Springs, CO area - preferably in Family or Criminal Law - If anyone knows of anything. If someone knows of a recruiter in that area as well, please let me know!
TIA!

Hey, does anyone work for Jacobowitz Newman Tversky? Would love to know more about the office and culture .

Good morning everyone. I’ve been working as personal injury paralegal for about 1 year. Our firm has an incentive where you get a portion of the fee’s for any-case you bring in. It is definitely something I’m interested in doing and I’m wondering what are someways that we can bring in businesses without breaking any ethical rules.
