I block off time on my calendar most days for work - it’s the only way I can get uninterrupted time.

Same.

It's a huge paycut and the hours can still be intense. I work a lot in house but that comes with the seniority of my roles.

Evenings and weekends my friend. Other than the impact on my social life, I actually like working on weekends precisely because of the lack of interruptions.

How is it better than working for a firm?

Hey all—not quite an ad fish in Toronto but ideally would like to become one, and I’m not sure if there’s a better place to post this. I’m born + raised in the US, but my boyfriend lives in Canada and I’m looking, hoping, to make the jump up north to be with him full time.

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…

After reaching out to the general counsel on LinkedIn, I applied for an in-house job a month ago. I didn’t hear anything. A few days ago the general counsel reached out on LinkedIn and said she did not see my application in the mix but was hoping to and asked if I wanted to meet. I said I did apply, indicated I was interested in meeting, and asked if I could send my materials. She said yes and she would send me some times. I sent my materials and haven’t heard a thing. Any idea what is going on?

I’ve been in an in-house role since the beginning of the year and just gave 2 weeks’ notice to leave for a much better paying and better titled position. The response has been very petty, to the point that I’ve been called unprofessional even after I asked the hiring attorney whether I could give longer notice at the current company’s request. Is this normal?
