I’ve been a licensed attorney for one year — what is the best option for a writing sample to submit with an application? I still have my briefs and legal writing documents from law school, but I feel like I should use a real document at this point? If so, is a dispositive motion that won, best? Help!

I’ve been a felony prosecutor for almost 5 years and want to switch to big law. I’ve applied to numerous firms without success.

One of the hardest things to do in business and in sales is to have someone love what you do so much that they'll put their name on the line and refer you business.

That's a relationship you have to nurture.

And I bet that most of you have more than a handful of happy customers who would refer you business. The easiest way to get more leads and pipeline is to ask for referrals.

Hello fishes.

Let's say, one has got hike letter during X month for promotion and that person has resigned at the end of X month to pursue better opportunities. The hike letter says the revised CTC is effective X+1 month without any explicit date mentioned.

In this case, which CTC is applicable during the notice or for calculation of FnF? Old or new?

Appraisal mid year this year, I’m on track to do 500+ hrs over target. I am also 500 hours ahead of the two people in my same year in my team (and have been consistently ahead for past 18 mos). Reviews so far have been really good. We had to take a 6 month 20% pay cut in 2020 for covid despite being big law and finance performing v well (cushioning profits I think). I want to ask for a raise as our salaries are already lower side of market - am I in good position to do so? What sort of %?

Does anyone else receive push back when they (i) ask substantive questions or (ii) express that they can’t do something immediately because they have to do more urgent work? Trying to figure out how common this is....
