Why can’t I find a part time job? I’m married to someone much more financially successful than me. I don’t want to do legal work, but only in a part time capacity. I’m totally flexible on salary. Why can’t I find anything like this?

In the same boat… trying to find a part time position for months.

Wait - you do want to do legal work or you don’t? What year are you?

I don’t have any experience in this, but do you have the option to go part time at your current firm? I assume not; but I think it’s probably hard to hire a lawyer part time… you aren’t available all the time so it’s hard to assign you matters. If I had the choice, I don’t think I would want a part time associate on my matter - I would probably end up picking up the slack. This isn’t as much of an issue for a legal secretary or paralegal. I know people go part time in big law but they already have established relationships with the firm and the people they work with.

Not sure why TCS even conducts multiple technical rounds and rejecting candidates after submitting all the required documents saying your salary expectations are too high for our pay grades. Rather than why cannot they specify the salary bracket that they have been looking for clearly even before HR schedules the interview. Atleast candidates can decide if they want to go through all this process and ending up with no offer which will have an impact on morale.

If we’re on vacation we have to pre-bill 6.0 a day. Why the hell do firms do this???

Why sudden income tax deduction? Why was that not deducted in the month of Jan Feb March ?
