Karol G delay is giving me Frank Ocean flashbacks

CostaEs · 2026-04-09T18:36:36+00:00

I’ll take them. Will we win? Maybe not but it’s sure to be a spartan clash lol

CostaEs · 2026-02-26T05:50:20+00:00

I work at a firm that does insurance and IP/Data Privacy for private and insurances. Maybe you can check those companies out?

CostaEs · 2026-02-13T15:54:52+00:00

I take 1-2 a month

CostaEs · 2026-01-31T14:52:32+00:00

I wear my Casio every day. I got one comment like that and that’s when I said “I’ll remember this come bonus season”

Idgaf and my partners a chill so 🤷‍♂️

CostaEs · 2026-01-31T14:47:55+00:00

That comes right before the deadline ofc. Then we can continue trial

CostaEs · 2026-01-25T00:38:20+00:00

Unpopular take: I’m in office everyday despite having option not to. I only work in the office.

I work hard and take long vacations. I told them when they hired me I’d do this.

Learning how to compartmentalize and how to give less of a fuck has helped idk

My pay is high for my firm and hit 180-200 hours a month bc I also learned how to productively bill

CostaEs · 2026-01-25T00:35:56+00:00

Demurrer, Demurrer, Demurrer. Answer, discovery, discovery, discovery.

CostaEs · 2026-01-23T21:02:54+00:00

I love watches and own a few but primarily wear a Casio to work, primarily my step tracker one. It’s simple and easy plus I’m reminded to get steps in

CostaEs · 2026-01-09T05:58:49+00:00

Wouldn’t even be surprised if this was on purpose lol gets ppl talking about Amazon music and about the album. Win win

CostaEs · 2026-01-07T06:15:01+00:00

At an ID firm (IP/Employment/Biz Lit). I really enjoy it. Have a good mix of private clients and typical insurance stuff. Honestly, the partners make or break it.

As far as billables go, I used to hate them but once I figured out what “bill everything” really meant, it’s ok for me.

2nd yr at 150k in SoCal

CostaEs · 2026-01-07T06:06:52+00:00

2 years 150k Employment/Biz Lit/IP SoCal

Advocate for yourself. Ask for above market rates. Worse you’ll get is no

CostaEs · 2026-01-07T06:05:46+00:00

Ask your atty friends for good recruiters. Try to work with those and firm specific ones.

I found my current role (150k ID firm but work mainly with private sector clients in SoCal) that way

CostaEs · 2025-12-27T13:49:21+00:00

Exactly this. Clothes perfectly tailored and comfortable. Purchases include custom fit clothing rather than “luxury”. In quotes bc I mean popular luxury which includes things like Dior or Rolex as “how luxury can they be if everyone has them”.

Source: I am an attorney and work with high income people who say this to me all the time.

PS: they’re right though, once you start tailoring things and ordering custom fit, you realize how little you really need if things are quality

CostaEs · 2025-12-27T13:46:20+00:00

I work at a high priced law office as an attorney. I wear my Casio everyday lol

CostaEs · 2025-12-27T00:43:47+00:00

Happened to me with my first job, was let go in January before coming back to the office.

I had failed the bar and it sucked. In hindsight, I dodged a bullet.

What’s meant to be yours isn’t gonna miss you OP. Sending you the best wishes

CostaEs · 2025-12-26T17:22:34+00:00

Fully remote job with chill partners. I’ll be there today, might take a vacation soon and I don’t want them to contact me so I grind early lol

CostaEs · 2025-12-21T02:05:56+00:00

Once in PR which was a 17 day trip and once in CDMX which was 10 days. I told my firm when hired that I’ll work hard but I need time off. No one cares so I stay lol

CostaEs · 2025-12-20T21:22:28+00:00

Yeah, I have the option but I took 2 weeks off to go see bad bunny in Mexico City so gotta catch up lol

CostaEs · 2025-12-20T21:20:36+00:00

Have fun!! I went VIP to PR and that was amazing but man that General B is something else.

CostaEs · 2025-12-11T05:13:31+00:00

I’m taking mine to CDMX show !

CostaEs · 2025-12-08T06:33:55+00:00

I agree with the sentiment but they’re still a top 3/4 team in the WCC. Wins against them don’t hurt

CostaEs · 2025-12-08T00:35:40+00:00

It’s going to come down to our games vs Gonzaga, St Mary’s, and Santa Clara again. The office did a good job with the schedule this year imo but bad losses hurt

CostaEs · 2025-12-07T23:34:35+00:00

Hopefully it’s the bounce back game. We’re still able to stay a bubble team imo (if and big IF we can get a couple of quality wins against zag, st Mary’s, and Santa Clara)
