We work a lot. Do what you need to do to stay healthy and sane. If someone judges you for bringing a gym bag to the office then it says more about them than you.

Maybe hide it though when a client comes by.

No, I would think you’re exercising today, which is a normal and healthy thing to do.

No. But I think the people who use the machines next to our break room are weird.

Perfect way to get more hours.

No, unless they are sweaty from the gym

I’m pretty sure everyone in my office is weird, with or without their gym bag…

Absolutely not (good for you)… unless maybe it’s an unsightly bag but that’s easy to fix

Who is paying attention to this kinda stuff?

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
