Do you combine your personal with your work calendar?

I want to know how much partners make at my mid-size, defense side insurance coverage-focused firm. I am pretty close with some of the partners. Would it be rude for me to ask directly? Are there other more tactful approaches people have used? I just want to know what to expect / determine whether it’s worth aiming for as opposed to going to plaintiff side which tends to be pay better.
Has anyone ever relocated for a job away from family and friends? If so, do you regret it? Have you made new support systems in the new location? I'm considering relocating about 3-4 hours away from my support system for work and would like to hear the thoughts and advice from people who have relocated for work.
yeah i got my dates with my work wives and opposing counsel wives or client wives on there
Yes (to an extent—I’ll keep extremely personal things off my work calendar). I find it impossible to keep track of everything otherwise.
I don’t, I defend lawyers sued for malpractice and mixing calendars can make everything discoverable.
Yes- but I merely block off the personal time as a colored space without description.
I don't. If I need to block off time for a personal appointment I do that on my work calendar so things don't get scheduled over the top, but otherwise I keep them separate. My family doesn't need to see all of the meetings I have during the day
I do but mark things private or just block off the time without a description if during the work week. I can't keep it straight otherwise. I have gmail for my personal and outlook for my work. Sometimes I'll invite my work email to my Gmail events if needed.
This is exactly what I do.
I have two calendars: my work one on my computer and my phone which is both work and personal. I basically only consult my phone calendar. The dude that said he defends attorneys sued for malpractice has me thinking there has to be a better way that does not include two phones…
100% combined, but my family schedule is just blocks of time to do stuff like pickup kids or or go to the doc or go on vacation or whatever. If I didn't block it, I'd 100% get meetings, and because I only consult that calendar, it's important to have it centralized.
Nooooo. Two phones, two lives. If I put something on my work calendar that’s personal, it’s either a “Busy” block marked OOO.
Not at work but I do have a physical calendar I keep on my dresser that has both work and personal events on it
I put my work meetings in my family calendar, but not the other way around
Not expressly what it is I’m blocking for. But I put a “busy” block so no one schedules calls if I have an appointment or something.
I do not. Keep everything separate
Have to or else you get double booked and someone isn’t happy.
Work calendar gets personal appointments generally blocked off during the week. Phone calendar integrates everything
