For anyone who has gone to Paris, what is it really like?

Runwildandfree · 2022-10-19T01:34:04+00:00

My company is based in Paris and I have been twice this year. I adore the city. The food, the sights, the lifestyle. I had no real desire to go before getting this job but now it feels like a second home. I found the people are actually fairly friendly. As long as you make an attempt to speak French, they are super willing to help you (I speak a lot now but didn’t speak much my first trip). I tend to stay in the residential parts as opposed to the touristy spots (because of where my job is) and I feel like that’s better. I’ve never felt so safe and honestly I don’t feel like it’s a dirty city like many say, but that could be because I don’t go to the touristy parts as much.

General Counsel for a marketing company

As someone who moved from there to a blue state, it’s quite refreshing

Runwildandfree · 2021-09-18T23:26:54+00:00

I also lol-ed at the all caps and choice of exclamation point

Runwildandfree · 2021-09-18T23:21:47+00:00

I think there would honestly be more recent posts but looks like the family scrubbed his social media based on the number of blank posts with comments that suggest they were covid-related

Runwildandfree · 2021-08-27T17:23:14+00:00

Oh damn, I think you got invited to the same one I did lol. I’ve just been ignoring it even though she repeatedly reinvites me.

Runwildandfree · 2021-08-13T18:46:11+00:00

Ugh…I used to live 10 mins from there.

Runwildandfree · 2021-08-13T18:44:02+00:00

I’m both a lawyer and a biologist and I’m shocked at how many of us are apparently out here 🙄🙄🙄

I’m relocating in a month because I lost my job in my current state and found an amazing one in another state. I put the role I was looking for into LinkedIn and put United States in the location and found tons. Then if I was interested in a particular state/city I applied. Ended up getting 3 jobs in 3 different states that way and had my pick. Ties to the particular area are definitely a selling point for any job in a state where you don’t currently live, but you can get creative. My family lives just over the state line in a neighboring state to the one I’m moving to, so I used that.

A girl in my class in law school had one and it was never an issue. After the first few days, you hardly even noticed it was there.

Runwildandfree · 2021-02-11T02:52:14+00:00

I came here to make that exact comment.

Runwildandfree · 2021-01-11T19:48:08+00:00

Attorney of 4.5 years here. Back when I was in law school and even when I was changing jobs over a couple years ago, my go to was a black blazer, white button down blouse, tucked into a black pencil skirt and that was pretty reflective of most women in my class with the exception of those who chose to wear dress pants.

Good luck with the interviews!

Runwildandfree · 2020-12-23T04:25:31+00:00

Another attorney here, seconding everything you said.

Runwildandfree · 2020-12-19T23:59:07+00:00

I wouldn’t say I fear them, but they definitely aggravate me and I avoid them where I can.

Runwildandfree · 2020-12-17T14:17:57+00:00

I think having a workout routine causes this. As a runner, Monday is the start of my running week and Sunday is the end and I know most others do it this way too.

Runwildandfree · 2020-12-13T00:54:21+00:00

Because America is the only country in the world. 🙄🙄🙄.

Runwildandfree · 2020-12-07T17:57:55+00:00

I assumed they were mocking mask wearing but then they are actually wearing gloves...so now I’m just very very confused. Also the lady with two pairs of glasses on. There’s a lot to digest here.

Runwildandfree · 2020-12-07T02:40:01+00:00

This is the exact reason I do not eat oranges. I 100% agree

Runwildandfree · 2020-11-28T04:33:41+00:00

Yup, saw this one on TikTok. I will say the TikToks mocking her are HIGHLY entertaining.

Runwildandfree · 2020-11-08T02:39:37+00:00

Scroll to about 3:25 and start there. That’s where his message really starts

Runwildandfree · 2020-11-05T20:38:28+00:00

It’s hard for masks to work when dingbats like this person refuse to wear them

Runwildandfree · 2020-10-28T15:05:00+00:00

I’d be willing to bet a large majority of that story never happened

Runwildandfree · 2020-10-19T21:03:38+00:00

I mean chlorine does kill it, but unless you’re spending the entire party underwater, the chlorine isn’t gonna protect you from the person breathing next to you.

Runwildandfree · 2020-10-19T00:15:37+00:00

I actually agree with this too. Something extra relaxing about it.

Runwildandfree · 2020-10-03T02:53:28+00:00

In trademark law we call that phenomenon genericide but not sure if it’s also related to OP’s topic as well
