This! I knew my current job was a dream when my future boss answered this question by saying “6 months is a learning period, I would just expect you to be more confident in what you do.” I’ve never heard anyone acknowledge the inevitable learning curve that comes with a new job, and it showed that she was a super patient and flexible person.

I interviewed a guy this week and he asked two people on my team who were in the room if they were proud of their work. I had never heard that question before and loved it. What an interesting angle to take when evaluating fit.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time.

I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

Any EU attorneys who went for an LL. M. in international commercial law (or other) in Europe?

If so have you found it "worth" the year of your time? I am currently working at a firm that specializes mostly on commercial law and has a lot of foreign clients. I have some options regarding the possible LL. M. One of them is little less prestigeous that would allow me to stay working at law firm as I am studying. The other would mean taking a year off work and pursuing the LL. M, Thanks for help

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
