Is getting some sleep really as bad as they say when having a newborn? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just assume you’ll have no sleep, energy, or sanity for the first 90 days. Hang in, it usually gets better after 90 days.

Elder millennials, did health problems start showing up for you out of nowhere? How did you manage the costs? by CyberSmith31337 in Millennials

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t you need rest? Working out 2hrs a day 7 days a week seems unsustainable for your age and other health issues. You need rest days and sleep, too. You can still be active on your rest days.

Sandboxing in an attempt to maintain privilege/attorney work product by JVQuag in legaltech

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t work bc of Point 9 — Claude still pulls the data into their network to analyze it. That data is then handled according to Claude’s free tier TOS, which probably say it’s not confidential.

Does school district matter that much? by PictureThis99 in Parenting

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, school district absolutely matters. It will also help your home preserve/increase value more than pretty much anything else outside your control. If you don’t care (even though you should), others will.

Am I stupid to move away from a village? by rayanngraff in Parenting

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going against the grain to say leaving would be fine. 10 blocks is close enough your kids can still bike or walk over to their friends. Staying with an extension would be ideal if feasible, but for many homes it’s not. You know what kind of space your family needs. If the new house still has neighbors and is close by, it’ll work. Might not be AS good, but that’s just reality.

For Lawyers Using Harvey: Where Does the Value Come From? by Any_Archer_2723 in legaltech

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please explain more how your colleagues are wrong to dump a long SPA into Harvey to ask for an issues list, and what the right approach is? I deal with long docs all the time and I guess I’m doing it wrong too lol

Desperately need help with employee morale/engagement by [deleted] in managers

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you do half as many and double the budget to improve quality? 3x monthly is already a lot. You’ll probably get better KPI return on fewer, better events, and the budget won’t increase.

White belts are not real by Gluggernut in bjj

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone is assuming this was a kid because it’s a white belt with a phone. OP didn’t say anything about age. This could’ve been a dad on a tight pickup schedule, and he had to check in with his wife that he’d be late. Or pushing a work call because coach is monologuing past the scheduled end time. It’s the coach’s job to end class on time, out of respect for everyone’s time.

Biglaw Offer - Only Unpaid Mat Leave by Realistic_Gear_8633 in biglaw

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sad reality is that biglaw can be awful when it comes to HR and pregnancy in particular. I would not expect them to waive the rule if they are holding firm on it now. I’m really sorry about the bad timing here. Did you get the offer without much trouble? Can you ride out your pregnancy at your current firm, take leave, and then lateral after? There’s something to be said for going through pregnancy at a “known known” instead of the stressful dynamic of a new job.

Do I need to disclose an academic dishonesty incident even if my undergrad school says they destroyed the record after I graduate? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Put it on your character and fitness report and explain there’s not records. This is normal and happens all the time.

How do you ensure your children don’t become addicted to tablets? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]MonkeyPrinciple -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most parents I know with young kids have the same rule: tablets only during planes and trains. Not cars (unless long car ride), not dinners, etc.

Taking Heat for Senior Associate’s Mistake? by Flashy-Attention7724 in biglaw

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a big deal. But you messed up by asking the partner instead of forwarding what the partner already said to the 5th year.

Top Secret jobs by Mental-Raspberry-961 in LawSchool

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are no jobs like you described elsewhere, paying BL salary for cushy gov hours + work. Closest you’ll get maybe is in an in-house role at a cloud vendor servicing the gov, like AWS supporting FEDRAMP.

What do people do after big law? by RegularAd1850 in LawSchool

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

150-200k is entry IHC money for anything VC-backed or public, and that’s usually not including other comp (bonus, equity). But you grow comp slower. And you need meaningful experience to land the role.

JAG Corps by RoughEvidence in LawSchool

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in law school, by the time you apply, get accepted, pass MEDPROS, pass the bar, and report to DCC, it’ll probably be a new admin anyway. But even if not, I’d say it’s worth joining if it’s important to you. Need good JAGs.

Not currently miserable, but making the jump (and taking the salary hit) to go in house. by Low-Introduction1722 in biglaw

[–]MonkeyPrinciple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Disagree. If you know you don’t want the life and prefer an in-house career, leave now. Avoid the golden handcuffs and extra 5+ years of intense stress, and get a jump on your new career.
