I recently interviewed with a firm for screening interview and HR wanted to use an AI notetaker. I felt extremely awkward during the call and felt forced into saying yes to being recorded. This is the first time this has happened to me during an interview. Has this happened to anyone else before?

At my last firm, I had three weeks of accrued time, and when I lateral-shifted, I got a nice cash payout that covered my moving expenses. At my current place with unlimited leave, the peer pressure to never actually request a day off is so intense that the average associate takes less than a week off per year. Has anyone actually successfully taken a full, uninterrupted two-week vacation under an unlimited policy?

To all you lawyers who deal with an in-house counsel as a client - don't treat us like we're idiots. I'm resisting the urge to blast this 6 year attorney with an attitude problem. I have almost 20 years experience and don't appreciate the attitude. This law firm is definitely going to be on the chopping block.

Has anyone ever relocated for a job away from family and friends? If so, do you regret it? Have you made new support systems in the new location? I'm considering relocating about 3-4 hours away from my support system for work and would like to hear the thoughts and advice from people who have relocated for work.

Is it weird to get a partner a wedding gift? I’m an associate that works in a satellite office with 2 other attorneys (1 other associate and 1 partner). The partner recently got married. Would it be weird to give him a $50-$75 gift? We are not close on a personal level, we just work together.
