.... hard time breaking into the workforce as people seem to just gloss over his work experience because it was in Africa. He has a solid gpa from a great school but has pretty much 0 connections to help get his foot in the door. I wish I could help him more but I am a lowly analyst with no pull. Please let’s know!

Thanks for responding. It’s tough out there.

Any tips for a partner track associate trying to balance an older partner who has a "my way or the highway" personality and support staff who are human and don't do well with partner's personality? In less than two years we have been through 3 legal secretaries and feel like our current one is one month in and already over it. I love my firm but worry we are getting a bad reputation by burning through support staff. Anyone had success in dealing with this?

For those that have left their firms, do you guys recommend taking precedent docs from the firm before you leave? I hear about that but don’t know how that works since the laptop doesn’t accept usb and I would imagine it would look suspicious having emails with docs to your personal email all of a sudden … or is this endeavor not even worth it?

I’m pretty torn on whether I want to take an offer for an internal role or not…
The job itself sounds pretty interesting. Lots of opportunity for growth (eventually will build out a team).

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.

I feel that I’m well qualified, and have a lot of experience (10 years) + Masters in HR but not good at selling myself and what I can bring to the table.

Therefore it was harder for this person to find a new project. How to investigate if this is correlates with microagressions and discrimination towards black people? Any ideas?
