By Danice Kowalczyk, Esq., Managing Director Question: I am a senior associate with some portable business. I am looking for a job in today's market with a straight base compensation, but I find that everyone just wants to talk about my potential portables (which are tentative at best) once they hear that I have some business. Is it impossible to find a normal service role today instead of a rainmaking role at my level? Should I stop mentioning my portables to potential employers, although I think that they do add something to my candidacy? I don't want an eat-what-you-kill compensation structure, but, inevitably, the conversation goes in that direction as soon as ''potential portables'' are mentioned.

To be frank, I purchased this book several months before I actually read it - picking it up and putting it down repeatedly until, one day, it literally dawned on me that now seemed the right moment to read Blink. I don't quite know what I was waiting for or whether I was just uninspired. I simply knew that until that fateful day arrived, I simply was not in the right frame of mind to sit down and digest its contents and, thereafter, put its lessons to good use. + read more Article Type: Advice for Job Seekers I did not hold a summer position or other relevant internship during my law school. What should I do to help my job search? By Harrison Barnes Managing Director I went to UCLA LAW, and graduated this year with a 3.02, but due to circumstances I did not have the opportunity to intern for anyone during the summer. Now I am currently awaiting the California Bar results, and searching for a job, but I have had no luck. Where is a good place to look? + read more Article Type: Question & Answer Section Choosing a Legal Recruiter By Harrison Barnes Managing Director Working with a legal recruiter is the smartest decision a good attorney can make. Legal recruiters typically operate in the ''upper echelons'' of the legal profession and for people who are suited for their services legal recruiters are the absolute best career resources. + read more Article Type: Question & Answer Section How much do hot practice areas vary from state to state? By Harrison Barnes Managing Director Hot practice areas typically differ quite dramatically from state to state. However, there are consistencies which are generally always present in most geographical areas. These consistencies are generally applicable across most time periods in most geographic areas. While this is the sort of question I would love to ''write a book'' about, for purposes of brevity I will be brief and highlight only one or two areas that are very busy generally in major geographic areas. + read more Article Type: Question & Answer Section What is Appropriate Dress for an Interview? By Harrison Barnes Managing Director I have thought a lot about this question over the years and I really believe I have the answer. The answer is as simple as this: Dress as you want to be seen. While this may seem an overly simplistic answer, I believe that with some further elaboration the meaning of this will become far more clear. + read more Article Type: Question & Answer Section Becoming a Mother: Continuing to Care For Your Other Baby...Your Career By Claudia Barnes, Managing Director Let me start this article off by talking about myself. I am the oldest of three and was probably the most ''driven'' and ''motivated'' of my siblings. Competitive by nature, I had to get straight A's in high school and college. An ''A-'' could bring me to tears. My drive, my need to succeed is what led me to apply to law school while in college (as a psychology major, I eventually ruled out PhD programs). Once I got into law school and knew where I was headed, I arrogantly declared to my friends I would be making over $100,000 a year before my 25th birthday. + read more Article Type: Recent Articles 2009 Fall Southern California (Orange County, San Diego and Los Angeles) The Northeast (New York, Washington, DC, New Jersey and Pennsylvania) The Southwest (Texas) The Midwest (Chicago, Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, and Utah) International (Europe and Asia) + read more Article Type: State of the Market 365 archived articles  1 2 3 4 5  37 Recent Articles In the News Finding Employment Business Relationships Being the Best Career Choices Press Articles Lawyer's Lifestyle Advice for Job Seekers Recruiter Resources State of the Market Question & Answer Section SEARCH JOBS Locations: (hold down ctrl to choose multiple) All Areas AlabamaAlaskaArizona - OtherArizona - PhoenixArkansasCalifornia - Los AngelesCalifornia - Oakland/East Ba...California - Orange CountyCalifornia - OtherCalifornia - SacramentoCalifornia - San DiegoCalifornia - San FranciscoCalifornia - Silicon Valley/...Colorado - DenverColorado - OtherConnecticut - HartfordConnecticut - OtherDelaware - OtherDelaware - WilmingtonDistrict of ColumbiaFlorida - MiamiFlorida - OrlandoFlorida - OtherFlorida - TampaGeorgia - AtlantaGeorgia - OtherHawaiiIdahoIllinois - ChicagoIllinois - OtherIndiana - IndianapolisIndiana - OtherIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMaryland - BaltimoreMaryland - OtherMassachusetts - BostonMassachusetts - OtherMichigan - DetroitMichigan - Grand RapidsMichigan - OtherMinnesota - Minneapolis/St. ...Minnesota - OtherMississippiMissouri - Kansas CityMissouri - OtherMissouri - St. LouisMontanaNebraska - OmahaNebraska - OtherNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew York - AlbanyNew York - BuffaloNew York - New York CityNew York - OtherNew York - RochesterNorth Carolina - CharlotteNorth Carolina - OtherNorth Carolina - RaleighNorth DakotaOhio - CincinnatiOhio - ClevelandOhio - OtherOklahomaOregonPennsylvania - OtherPennsylvania - PhiladelphiaPennsylvania - PittsburghRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennessee - NashvilleTennessee - OtherTexas - AustinTexas - Dallas-Ft.WorthTexas - HoustonTexas - OtherTexas - San AntonioUtahVermontVirginia - NorthernVirginia - OtherVirginia - RichmondWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyoming- Asia - China - Beijing- Asia - China - Other- Asia - China - Shanghai- Asia - Hong Kong- Asia - Japan - Other- Asia - Japan - Tokyo- Asia - Other- Asia - Singapore- Asia - Thailand- Asia - UAE - Abu Dhabi- Asia - UAE - Dubai- Australia - Melbourne- Australia - Other- Australia - Sydney- Canada- Canada - Calgary- Canada - Edmonton- Canada - Montreal- Canada - Ottawa- Canada - Quebec City- Canada - Toronto- Canada - Vancouver- Canada - Winnipeg- Europe - Belgium - Brussel...- Europe - Belgium - Other- Europe - England - London- Europe - England - Other- Europe - France - Other- Europe - France - Paris- Europe - Germany - Dussel- Europe - Germany - Frankfu...- Europe - Germany - Munich- Europe - Germany - Other- Europe - Greece - Athens- Europe - Greece - Other- Europe - Holland - Amsterd...- Europe - Holland - Other- Europe - Italy - Other- Europe - Italy - Rome- Europe - Other- Europe - Russia - Moscow- Europe - Russia - Other- Europe - Spain - Madrid- Europe - Spain - Other- Mexico- South America Minimum Years of Experience: Any Level 1234567891011121314151617181920Over 21 Primary Area of Practice: All Areas AntitrustAntitrust and Trade Regulati...BankruptcyConstructionCorporateEmploymentEnergyEnvironmentalERISA/Employee BenefitsFood & Drug AdministrationGovernmentGovernment ContractsGovernment RelationsHealth CareImmigrationInsuranceIntellectual Property - Liti...Intellectual Property - Othe...Intellectual Property - Pate...Intellectual Property - Trad...International TradeInternet/E-CommerceIP/Technology TransactionsLitigationOtherPatent Agents/Technical Spec...Project FinanceReal EstateSecurities LitigationTaxTelecommunicationsTrust and EstatesWhite Collar Crime Keyword: Partner Level Job(s): REFER BCG ATTORNEY SEARCH TO A FRIEND BCG ATTORNEY SEARCH CORE VALUES RECENT BCG ATTORNEY SEARCH PLACEMENTS Testimonials - Attorneys Love BCG Attorney Search!
