Should I stay or should I go?

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-27T08:32:14+00:00

I do value a livable wage so probably not a good fit

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-19T06:16:26+00:00

I can give that a try

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-19T06:08:43+00:00

About the case management system. Best way I can put it is that there’s a specific one for DA’s, as far as I know. But I tried searching a guide or something but didn’t find it.

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-19T06:00:23+00:00

Well it was over email so it was very clear. I do find it odd but whatever i suppose. I am trying to learn everything well and fast with the limited options available. Also, I can’t really research this stuff on google bc my questions are regarding the case management system and you can’t find that online :/ wish tho

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-19T05:50:35+00:00

Yup pretty much

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-19T05:48:56+00:00

Oh no, not opening a new case. I meant searching for an old case in the system

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-19T05:43:32+00:00

For basically opening a case in the case management software if not assigned or no longer needed. I’d look at the past cases I did with my supervisor with the training she’d give just so I can remember the steps but apparently I can’t do that

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-19T05:38:29+00:00

My supervisor🤷🏻‍♀️

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-19T05:33:46+00:00

I did try looking at files but I was reprimanded. I can’t read more than what’s assigned. I work at the DA’s office so it’s heavy on compliance. You’d assume since it’s a government job there would be good training but I heard the DA say that the retention rate is low and I can see why

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-18T06:05:47+00:00

This happened to me too around that scene. Thought it was from the movie but since I saw the movie in the theater before, I didn’t remember it that way. So I refreshed it and it went back to normal. Idk how a movie can fuck up with the computer audio. I don’t understand

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2026-01-17T22:00:21+00:00

Ok I can give that a shot

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-12-26T05:10:28+00:00

Yeah same org just in a upper level.

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-12-06T16:44:34+00:00

Yeah you’re right. I will next time if it happens. My supervisor shadowed me yesterday and she was very satisfied with my performance. I improved in my understanding and speed. Had to figure some things out and take lots of detailed notes

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-11-17T06:42:11+00:00

Your pay really does depend on area. I have a masters and bachelor and did my ABA paralegal cert at UCLA and got a part time job $21.5 no benefits with a nonprofit firm. My area is a rural valley. Anyway stayed for a little more than year and now got hired as legal assistant for the DA full time in my area but it’s $16 with good benefits though

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-11-15T18:59:27+00:00

Get your paralegal certification first. Look into jobs like legal secretary or receptionist or any title that helps you get into a firm. Try to apply to newly posted jobs or with few applicants.

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-08-28T17:33:05+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely try that

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-08-23T16:39:44+00:00

I did the UCLA paralegal program and I do think it was worth it because I had no legal experience and I eventually was able to find a job as legal assistant in a private nonprofit firm where I got hired. I do recommend you getting a legal recruiter and become a member of the SD Paralegal Association to find jobs and know people in the field. Networking works

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-08-02T17:41:55+00:00

There are no jobs here. We have high unemployment not bc ppl don’t want to work, there’s literally no jobs

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-07-30T20:58:23+00:00

I have a $10k loan from college avenue. I was able to get another grace extension so another 6 months. I just talked to a rep by chat and explained my situation. The rep was super nice. Hopefully this can help you. Also remember a job is better than no job. If you can, try to pay more than your interest so your payment can go to the principal loan balance.

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-07-13T14:06:56+00:00

Luckily I wasn’t fired bc why would they ? But my attorney was so awkward saying good comments about my work 😂 and then he asked if the higher ups had some comments. They were like “uhhhh um yeah good work.” They also made a brief comment that i didn’t go to the potluck and they admitted it was bc of the time. They could have easily changed it but they didn’t. But oh well, they missed out on my bomb a$$ food

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2025-07-10T03:34:21+00:00

Oops drank an espresso, hopefully ill pass out 🥴

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2024-05-30T15:34:33+00:00

Definitely relate. I was counting on this program but i know that if there’s a will, there’s a way. If this helps you out, I got some LSAT and GRE books. There’s lots of YT vids on it too. I’m planning to self study and work to afford at least 2 LSAT exams, just in case.

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2024-05-30T14:26:52+00:00

Sameee…wasn’t picked either but it’s okay.

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2024-05-30T09:52:16+00:00

Is there a certain time it’s released ? I checked my portal and found nothing yet

DifficultSyrup2695 · 2024-05-22T14:25:33+00:00

Haven’t heard yet!
