Advice to law firm management:
Don't bother leaving your current job!!! The NY office administrator is extremely difficult to deal with. The job life cycle is maximum of one year.
Pros:
Awesome law firm. However, working for the ny mgmt team is not worth leaving your current position to then risk your future career. Maximum job cycle at HL NY office management team is one year.
Cons:
The administrator does not provide the neccessary resources to get your job done and she is not helpful when dealing with various issues. Many other Ny staff has quick after a few month. Not worth the career change.
