Associate

Is there any real exit opportunities for an executive compensation/employee benefits junior associate? I see a handful of employment in-house counsel roles and some compensation in-house roles — but those either require 7+ years of experience or some sort of employment/litigation experience (which i never do). I had a five-year Big Law plan, but i don’t think I can make it that long!

Does anyone have experience or thoughts about life after big law (whatever that means)? I'm a third year tax associate and seriously worrying whether I've chosen a practice area that is too "niche" to find something after. Do I even want to practice law? Do I just need a vacation?? Any and all insights are welcome! ^ The above was cross posted to another bowl, but also wondering whether it's stupid to leave big law and maternity leave / benefits at this stage (planning on kids in a few years)

Does anyone have any thoughts on what’s currently market for an in-house counsel job at a healthcare company (most are PE backed)? Currently a third year big law associate that works in the healthcare group doing primary working on PE healthcare transactions. Starting to put out feelers at a few companies (all of which have asked my expected starting comp) and want to avoid the sticker shock of the decrease in comp 😂

Are you eligible for CPA bonus/reimbursement when hired as an experienced associate? Specifically for EY advisory, I’m wondering if I will be compensated when I finish the rest of my CPA exams

Companies that keep renewing a job on LinkedIn, why would you do that ? I have been seeing a job posted and refreshed without fail for the third month now. Are you just collecting resumes? Hoping to meet candidates and understand how their organizations function? Or is the pool so terrible that you must refresh the posting and hope other, more suitable candidates apply? This company in particular is a reputable pension fund in Canada (think CPP, PSP or Ontario Teachers’); associate role.

PWC Senior Associate salary expectations? Salesforce/Industries Health Insurance practice, 4 YOE

What kind of opportunities exist for a healthcare corporate/M&A attorney and what characteristics make an associate a desirable candidate to companies in the healthcare industry?

I'm an in-house counsel at a national company. Our GC is leaving. I’m the only other in-house attorney, and I’ve only been here for 4 months. I like the job. Previously, I was a 6th-year associate. The CEO asked me to stay and implied a larger role, but doesn't have a clear picture of what that looks like. Asked for my help in redefining. Even unsure as to timing or whether we'll hire another GC. Questions for Fishbowl: (1) benefits or pitfalls? (2) questions or requests you'd have for CEO?

Does anyone know how much MBB consultants make in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha as an Associate I work at McKinsey in Canada and am looking to transfer to one of those offices. Also, any additional insights on perks : benefits would be appreciated!

Currently a C at Deloitte with 2.5 YOE, not in strategy. I am considering an offer from Strategy& for an Associate level position with 100K base. This salary is almost equal to what I currently make, so the only benefit would be the brand and firmly positioning myself in strategy, where I want to be. But I would also lose my network and various other benefits by leaving D now. It seems like I should reject it and try to move into Strategy at D until I find something better. Thoughts?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

Does consulting leadership see an existential talent “crisis” of sorts coming from covid? No travel has benefits, but we’ve never had so much churn before at the lower staff levels. No travel, points, and comped meals is basically associate payments that are no longer being paid out.

Hey, can someone share the total compensation picture at PWC for advisory? I’d be coming in at senior associate level. For comparison, my base salary is 120k, bonus around 10%, 401k match at 6%, and ESPP for 10% of my salary at a 15% share price discount. What does the full package look like at PWC in addition to base salary?

BTA at Deloitte vs Strategy at ZS? Associate level interested in healthcare/health tech but not really life sciences. ZS culture seems like a better fit + pay is more competitive (around 15k more), but wondering if I should go with Deloitte for project opportunities more aligned to my interests. Any advice/insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was offered an Assistant GC position inhouse at a prestigious company in my field but the role is primarily a contract review one (as part of a contract review team). The job seems stable, benefits good, hours good, and pay is what I expected for NYC in-house market. I’m worried about long term growth though. Are contract positions dead-ends or can I eventually lateral to Associate GC position that covers more ground? Help!

Anyone here a manager at Huron? Specifically healthcare consulting? Curious to your day to day, would love to chat. I spoke to recruiter for a Sr Associate position but she mentioned I could apply for manager. I’ve been a consultant for 4-5 years (but across 2 diff orgs) and have had few direct reports but hesitant on switch to manager?

I’m a junior associate at a NY big law, thinking of having my first baby when I am a 3rd year. I understand that it is inevitable (unfortunately) that I’ll suffer to some extent professionally. What challenges have you faced before/after maternity leave? I would also appreciate any advice on what to do to minimize the impact while somehow maintain the balance.

Have an interview with Huron tomorrow. Any idea on salary comp range for Sr Consultant/Associate, within healthcare?

Associate in HCA, I’m looking into Master’s programs but I’m unsure of the cost benefits. Are certifications looked on in the same light as a Master’s degree and save me some cash in the long run?

What is one very useful technique that you developed or started doing to increase your efficiency and productivity (something that you really experienced and harvested the benefits) e.g. restraining myself from using the mouse in excel to make sure I learn all the shortcuts, using colour coding in outlook to differentiate started and done items, writing on paper 3 priorities for every single day and associate them reasonable deadlines

Maternity leave question: at my firm, female associates returning from maternity leave have a habit of deciding which cases they want to return to work on and not coming back to the more difficult cases/partners. Recently, a senior associate who was single handedly running a massive case is refusing to come back to it, even though it’s left the rest of the team (and the client) in a rough spot because she’s the only one with institutional knowledge of the case. Is this normal?

Potential incoming KPMG experienced hire looking to negotiate a comp. Nearing 14YOE with an MS. Currently at 220k base (4-6% annual bonus, 9% 401k match) at a company, and want to bring me on at the Senior Associate level (lol I know, I know). Gonna try to upgrade to a Manager level role if possible. Based on where I’m at, is KPMG going to even be close? I’m okay with a lateral move as well, since I’d like experience and branding also.

Hey I’m looking at KPMG for their senior associate, federal healthcare policy. I was wondering if anyone here works or has worked for them and what your experience is/was?

First year associate working at a Plaintiff’s firm with 2 other attorneys (partners). I was offered $50k salary with “opportunity for bonuses” but given no bonus structure or schedule. Benefits are not great - only health, no vision or dental. I feel like I’m being under-compensated. Any advice on how to address this with the partners without sounding entitled as a first year associate?

Does anyone cry b/c of comments or feel like a failure? I work in a small group in big law. A former associate in the group says that 2 partners somehow make you feel that when you mess up, you are a bad person; she joked that she started reading articles for victims in abusive relationships. My group is well known for being the best in a small field but I’m miserable. Im just finishing my first year. I’m one of two juniors and the other is going on maternity leave soon. Is this normal?

2nd year associate here (going into my third). Will have about 114k in student loan debt at the turn of the year. I have roughly 60k in my investment account, 45k in 401k and an adequate balance in my emergency fund. I also contribute to my HSA and will cross the threshold for investing that in January. During 0% on student loans i have been using every spare dine to pay that down. My question is should that continue or should I tone that back and start investing more? Cont’d in comments...
