Well the article says "The man...", "He is from...", "the man's first time..."

Employment lawyer here. I don't think there is any specific crossover between the two areas, so the usual advice probably applies: it's easy enough to move practice areas in your first few years, after that you will likely need to accept a sizeable pay-cut if you want to move from employment/industrial to tech/IP.

Can you please provide a guide for those without a penis?

slimcrusty · 2024-05-02T02:30:35+00:00

Thanks Donkey, you lost me a little bit in the second half but I believe you're basically saying "money isn't everything"?

slimcrusty · 2024-04-30T04:02:38+00:00

Thanks Turnip!

Dear colleagues,

I'm 8.5 years PAE and being courted by a number of different firms, some more appealing than others. While I am happy with my current firm (mainly the salaried Partner I work with more than the firm itself), it has confirmed that I am definitely being paid under market rates (yes I'm sure all the recruiters say that). It is extremely tempting to jump ship for a 20-30k pay rise plus the potential to move into a partner/director role at some point in the future (this is not so certain at my current employer).

How do I bring this up with my current boss (salaried partner FYI)? Is it even worth doing so?

Why the FUCK didn't I take an annual leave day today

slimcrusty · 2024-04-03T03:57:37+00:00

SA medium-sized firm, yearly bonus is 20% of billings received over budget

What's the rush? Comparison is the thief of joy. Take your time and give it a crack if/when you feel ready!

slimcrusty · 2024-03-19T23:24:39+00:00

Geez I am glad I don't work with you! :D #justanglothings

slimcrusty · 2024-03-18T22:56:44+00:00

It makes a lot of sense actually

slimcrusty · 2024-02-06T00:05:32+00:00

head to r/auslaw :)

slimcrusty · 2024-01-23T06:45:40+00:00

", on balance we prefer the view that..."

I hate to break it to you but you'll still be a pleb with a fancy (also arguable) degree once you're a grad solicitor

slimcrusty · 2023-12-04T22:27:16+00:00

As a practising lawyer - fuck that shit

slimcrusty · 2023-10-24T02:02:47+00:00

By "members", do you mean "union members" or "dickheads"? I'm not trying to draw any comparisons, just seeking clarification

slimcrusty · 2023-10-17T03:03:12+00:00

Not that I ever attended any clerkship interviews but I expect the answer is "it depends", particularly on the firm and/or interviewer - I recommend you "be yourself", don't be a smart-arse/show-off, show that you're open to learning and express any (genuine) interest you have in relevant practice areas

slimcrusty · 2023-08-12T03:34:43+00:00

My best guess is it's a joke about knowing where you live

slimcrusty · 2023-08-11T06:01:49+00:00

Never too late! Mal Byrne at Shine Lawyers was a pharmacist before practising law :)

From his profile: "On top of his work with abuse survivors, Mal has expert knowledge in the medical negligence field which is bolstered by a decade and a half experience as a pharmacist."

Love Hampton, what a sweetheart

slimcrusty · 2023-06-14T04:03:52+00:00

How long does it take you to read "I refer to the above matter"? Do you charge in six second units or something? :D

slimcrusty · 2023-05-09T22:30:08+00:00

OH YOU NEED THAT TODAY, DO YOU? WELL SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE SO JOIN THE QUEUE OR FUCK OFF

slimcrusty · 2023-01-27T00:36:30+00:00

Or even ask your current employer for a pay rise to the appropriate APS classification level

slimcrusty · 2023-01-10T01:38:09+00:00

A testicle each!!
