I’m a lawyer at chief counsel and looking for a change. I’ve been here nearly 4 years and I have 1 year of white shoe firm experience before that (also in tax). I do everything at counsel, but I want to focus on international. Ideally, I’ll end up in house in a few years, but I feel like big 4 experience would be helpful and might position me better to get those roles later. I don’t know anyone personally who works at the big 4, so I wonder if there are any lawyers out there in these roles who could educate me. Do you like your job? Will I be able to get one of these jobs with my background? What should I be aware of? What should I be wary of? Tell me everything.

I’ve finally worked my way back up to nightly tret .1%. I’ve been using my fave triple lipid after. But the other night I couldn’t find my TLR so I just grabbed the cerave from my husband’s side of the sink and I woke up way glowier. Also a few pesky pimples that had recently started brewing were gone. I tried it again at different points in my cycle and I think my skin is actually preferring the cerave. Anyone else had this experience? I’m thinking I’ll just switch over and maybe try medik8 for the times when my barrier needs something a bit heavier duty.

What kinds of cases do you take?

Who are your clients?

Do you do any flat fee billing?

And, importantly, how much do you make?

I’m at chief counsel. Entering my 3rd year. Always said I’d leave between year 3-5. Brainstorming what might come next and trying to think about what kinds of work to focus on now to position myself well for the next thing. Also, I need to make more money.

I think I liked every 5 days better than 7, but then 3.6mg was too much. Using for inflammation/lipedema. Would love to lose maybe 10-15 more lbs of fat but not in a hurry. I am no longer a professional athlete but I am VERY athletic. Work full time, chase 3 kids under 6, lift 2-4x/week, 3-5 hours of zone 2/week, and also breastfeeding a huge toddler (whom we affectionately call the Hebrew Hulk.)

What have y’all done that allowed you to feel good, energized, able to fuel?

I set this up when they were only doing pure from Prorx. Now the pinned post seems to say they’re using both Hallandale and Apothecary for pure (unless I’m reading that wrong). I’ve used Hallandale before so fine with that but not sure about trying something new at this point.

I usually keep my identity to myself in other subs and just use them for whatever info I need. But there was a threat to one of our synagogues, antisemitic graffiti drawn on another, and then a protest outside my kids’ school yesterday. And after all of that, someone did something extremely upsetting and antisemitic to my 5 yo kid. When I saw a pic posted of the protest in a general sub for my city, I felt I had to comment, so I did. I promised myself I wouldn’t read the comments and I haven’t really. But I accidentally clicked on a notification to see 27 downvotes and someone saying they hope worse things happen to my kid. I’m usually very good at keeping my head up but…I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to raise Jewish kids in this country? I could use some support or ideas. Blurgh.

This is a niche question: Is anyone doing this work and is also a full time gubmint lawyer? I am looking to chat with anyone who has gone through the agency approval process for side legal work.
