Visiting a friend at his parents’ house in his home country. I knew he had a sister but wow. We dated cross-border and until we got married (35 years ago). She’s still amazing!

Instagram… i started following him because he’s hot and he dm’d me because I’m hot.
Turns out he’s supportive, sweet, stable, and our values align. We’ve been together 7 months and expect to stay strong.

While working on a criminal defense matter. I was waiting at the Courthouse to give one of the attorneys from our firm a file that he needed. My husband played professional soccer, internationally, for many years and speaks several languages. He happened to be at the Courthouse doing something regarding his passport that day when he was asked to help a Public Defender client who didn’t speak nor understand English. He asked me to dinner that evening and here we are 17 years later ❤️

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
