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.

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.

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 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 2009 Spring Southern California (Orange County and San Diego) Northern California (Silicon Valley, and San Francisco) The Northwest (Portland) The Northeast (New York, Washington, DC, New Jersey, and Boston) The Southwest (Texas and Las Vegas) The Midwest (Chicago, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, Colorado, and Utah) International (Europe and Asia) + read more Article Type: State of the Market BCG Q&A - 2008 Fall By Lisa Pavia, Senior Recruiter, BCG Attorney Search Question: ''I was recently laid off from my position for economic reasons. The partners in my practice area where not generating enough business to keep our hours high enough and there were cuts throughout the firm.
