@jfloresdrums 6 лет назад

I work in house as well and it's far less stressful than working private and less billable hours 😃 and pretty much come in whenever I want. I'm so jelly about the copius snacks y'all get we don't even get coffee but can't have it all I suppose.

why do companies nowadays use open floor office settings? I am a true introvert, highly sensitive to sounds/smells/motion/light; I feel horrible working in such spaces. Give me my 'old-fashioned' cubicle and I'll work harder and feel better at the end of the day as well.

@BrittanyTran 6 лет назад

not sure, maybe they think it helps with collaboration and visually looks nicer than everyone stuck behind a cubicle wall.

Easier to keep on eye on you on all times. My company is fully open plan so they can count my bathroom and brew breaks and watch my screen as they walk past. They won't tell you that they're doing it, but in one on one's they'll bring these observations up.

hi Jenna! I'm going to be making a video series on being a lawyer and I'll definitely include that in there. honestly, it depends on what type of lawyer you are and what kind of company you work for. generally for me it's a lot of contract review (customers and vendors) and then random things like employment or intellectual property issues.

hmm, I'm planning to do a video about applying/getting into law school. I don't personally think it matters where you go to undergrad or law school as long as you are able to pass the bar exam and make connections. I do think it matters where you go in terms of location (if you want to practice in California, probably better to go to a california school). in addition, if you want to practice in a certain area of California it's probably better to go to school there.
