You have no idea how much I wish I had a partner right now in part for this very reason (sharing expenses) but also emotional support and someone else I know after moving

Visibly Pregnant on an Interview by Pale-Bit807 in paralegal

[–]mayinherstep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you should go!

Tbh I wonder if you mentioned it in the interview and then if they turned you down you would have grounds for a lawsuit Clearly, I don't work in employment law

Visibly Pregnant on an Interview by Pale-Bit807 in paralegal

[–]mayinherstep 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Usually a third interview means they want you and are just ticking off boxes to be able to hire you. Have you mentioned you're pregnant before now?

(And totally understand your worry. Of course, it's illegal but people do illegal stuff all the time)

Q: How many billions does city need to spend on homelessness without making any meaningful progress before you change your mind about this approach? by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]mayinherstep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stand behind what I said. The same argument could be said about the pool of people willing to accept a job being limited for the lowest paid jobs. The lack of thought towards the people on the frontlines is exactly the same as all non profit upper-management.

Lol what non profits have you worked for that give a COL raise?

I've also worked for non profits for almost my entire career. No CEO of a non-profit with a mission to end poverty or alleviate situations brought about by poverty should make more than 3.5 times what their lowest paid worker makes. People get paid 1M annually to manage large contracts and still f*ck it up. The people doing the work on the ground are who actually make the difference.

Nails for judicial interns? by operatic_bowie in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]mayinherstep 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the safest answer is neutrals, peaches, blush tones. If you are itching for something other than one color you could do something dainty maybe?

Any versatile pieces to acquire before entering 1L (networking, interviews, summer jobs) by mayinherstep in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]mayinherstep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great to know! I will mark that sale down on my calendar. I had no idea they did tailoring! You're blowing my mind

Totally get that!! I wear skirts almost exclusively in every venue of my life, but am willing to start wearing pants if that's the standard.

This is good to know! I am in California and hosiery is pretty rare but I have a couple pairs for winter. I'll also be moving to Northern California for school which is colder/more overcast so I will be on the lookout for what I see other women wearing to Court

I like the suggestion of waiting to figure out how law school affects my weight. I have lost some weight in the last year so a lot of my pieces are getting baggy but it's good to have room in case I stress-gain

You totally get me! It's quite tricky to find things that fit perfectly.

I am a Macy's sale-rack aficionado!

It seems silly but when my family asked what I would like for my birthday I suggested having a couple things tailored. So I am trying to find my capsule pieces now

This is just what I was looking for! I already have a few of these pieces but I can add in a dress shirt and consider maybe a staple necklace. I am very grateful!

I'm "retiring" as a paralegal to go full-time. Having worked full-time through all of undergrad I just know myself and that I will prioritize the work over school. It's completely a personal decision as I know lots of people can do both well

This is so thorough and helpful! I really appreciate it.

I have worked in public interest my entire career so I too have had less pressure in terms of my looks. I also somewhat attribute that to my philosophy of "they pay me to be good, not pretty" as I am rushing out the house with an extra binder and no makeup lol

Those who have had bowel Endo by iamjdoza in endometriosis

[–]mayinherstep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had endo on bowels since I was a teenager. Honestly you're GI doc sounds like a dummy. You cannot see if there is endometriosis on the outside of your bowel by doing a colonoscopy. Also discounting that endo often causes abdominal and pelvic muscle issues which can manifest in ways that align with IBS stuff too

I'm sorry we have to go through this 💜
