We use write ups when we are exceeding our goals in order to give another team some help, usually when they are making an investment. Sometimes it's to prevent them from taking a write-down. i.e. Scratching someone else's back

Write down means project is making more profit than expected, write down is opposite. Most of the time a write up is used as a slush fund of $ to help sales or to add people to a struggling workstream

Is it important to offer support staff that speak a foreign language or is it sufficient if the attorney can communicate with the client? We had one bilingual paralegal and another who is not. The bilingual one left us some time ago.

Thus, we are left with one who can’t communicate with about 25% of our clients. And there just isn’t enough revenue to support two paralegals despite my partner pushing us to hire.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.
