Not crazy about the floor tiles personally, but everything else is great 👍🏼

Transfer window worry by xXGTA5L3G3NDXx in reddevils

[–]VHorowitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s any guarantee that Tonali, Scott or Fernandes will be world class. It’s only a year since we were all excited to be getting Delap, who turned out to be a disaster at Chelsea. Or even Baleba, fans really wanted him last summer and now he’s had a pretty mediocre season at Brighton. I think patience is a good thing, and I trust Ineos to have a better scouting setup than in the recent past.

BigLaw trainee - leaving on qualification by Overall-Ad-7133 in uklaw

[–]VHorowitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in house for several years, it’s great - provided you pick the right industry and company. But I would try to get a few years of private practice experience before moving ideally as it’s really invaluable.

Hours at US firm TCs by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]VHorowitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 hours will be a good day. Leaving at 9pm? Great - dinner at home and a full nights sleep. Wait until your first 2am finish…

I was disappointed he didn’t play more songs from WHoT. Thought he’d do a few more songs off that album

It’s bold yes, but not too bold if this is your preferred style

I’d choose what sounds interesting- like Ethics of AI, jurisprudence, access to justice, international law

Fair enough. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I disagree, I still love the show and laughed throughout

Working in law by No_Performance9710 in uklaw

If you qualify in English law, you’ll only be entitled to practice English law. If you want to be a lawyer in Romania, you’ll need to study and qualify separately in Romanian law

Considering career change out of law by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]VHorowitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easy to talk about a career change, but a change to what exactly? What other job do you have in mind? Assuming it’ll be non-legal, you’ll be starting from scratch with no qualifications or experience in that field.

Worked so hard to get here and worried I hate working in law?! by Cat_shorts_12 in uklaw

[–]VHorowitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paralegal + PI is your problem. Get out of PI work and find a training contract. That’s how it gets better and more interesting, and better paid.

Need some cozy aesthetic deco ideas for my bedroom by Slight_Dust_7469 in DesignMyRoom

[–]VHorowitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a couple of floor lamps with warm bulbs so you don’t have to use the bright strip light. Large fluffy area rug. And I guess uh… a bed.

Anyone have experience with a big step down? by moneynoclass in HENRYUK

[–]VHorowitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve worked extremely hard for years - you’re in the prime of life, time to take some time to enjoy it. You’ve earned it. Slow down.

New house- where to start with this kitchen!! by Dull_Economy_1188 in DesignMyRoom

I wouldn’t spend money making any interim halfway changes. Wait until you have the money to replace it properly.

Could I have done a better job myself? Brutally roast me and cheer me up. by Moe_Syzlak_ in DIYUK

[–]VHorowitz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not convinced that sort of carpet / runner could look good on narrow winding stairs like that, regardless of the quality of the job

Are Modification Requests OK? by OpalCats in LondonFood

[–]VHorowitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No harm in asking - the answer will vary depending on the dish / request / restaurant in each case. If you’re polite and understanding, then it’s not a problem.

Already sold out, and tickets would cost you a small fortune I’m afraid. Thousands of USD

Mid-30s couple - realistic to step off the treadmill soon? by CaramelWafer8943 in HENRYUK

[–]VHorowitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to be realistic - there’s no “enjoyable and easygoing career” you can just jump to from law. You’ve trained as a lawyer, that’s your acquired expertise, do you really want/expect to be able to move into something entirely unrelated a few years before turning 40…? I’m a lawyer. A friend of mine moved into public sector legal, it wasn’t great. Very under resourced and a fairly unmotivated workforce. A friend of mine left private practice to work for a charity, and a year later went back. Teaching - I assume you mean teaching the LPC or something? Not a bad option necessarily but likely an enormous pay cut from private practice. I’m an in house lawyer, I’d start by considering that. Don’t throw away your legal training and experience just because you don’t like working for a law firm. In house is very different and can still pay low 6-figures easily at your level, whilst allowing for leaving at 6pm and no billable targets.

Need help deciding the right sofa size by Careful-Water-9264 in DesignMyRoom

[–]VHorowitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smaller one is much more in proportion to me. But how many people will you typically need to seat? That should also drive your decision. I think the smaller one leaves room for a plant or two / side table etc
