Let's talk about Christmas bonuses: Should you be penalized for leaving your firm in your bonus if you've generated significant amounts for the firm? Is that common practice? Disgruntled associate. 😂

So how does an “unlimited PTO” policy (if you have one) work in actuality at your firm?

Hi all! Does your company do anything to help working parents?

I had my mid-year review earlier this month (it was delayed because my group is slammed). I started in September 2019, after a state supreme court clerkship. I received great reviews, and was hoping for a raise. The reviewing partners told me that firm evaluates for raises in July, and it is firm policy not to give raises to associates that have been with the firm for less than a year. The practical effect of this is that I will not receive a raise until July 2021, 20 months after starting.

Good morning, I work for Solugenix placing top notch candidates at companies throughout the US. I just started at Solugenix so anyone who needs any assistance either finding a job or looking for candidates please let me know. Thanks and have a great day.

Is reading through Fishbowl billable time?

Let’s talk raise negotiations. If the firm generally offers a 4% raise to associate attorneys every year (and its customary to accept and not counter) what percentage is too high of a counter offer? What would be reasonable? (plaintiff side so no billable hour; 3 year associate; Houston; low 60k salary)

How much nonbillable time is too much? I’m a second associate at a midsized firm and I have 30-50 non billable hours each month. An associate at another firm told me this was really high. Thoughts?

I’ve been thinking of taking some time off to have an extra long weekend, but I find I’m always working on the weekend. Can you take a “day off” on the weekend to protect it? I just envision having Monday/Tuesday off and then someone assigning a task on the weekend so I just have to rush to finish it.

What is the industry standard for OTE as an SDR manager?

Going through interviews and struggling a lot with social anxiety and feeling awkward. In final rounds at a company where the next interview will be strongly focused on understanding personality and fit. Doing great on content but really can’t connect with people, especially over Zoom. Being a strong introvert doesn’t help either. Any recommendations on things you would do to connect beyond job related Q&A? Also, any tips to control nerves during the interview?

Just a shout out at the diversity I have been seeing while on-line shopping. It is something I am really happy to see. The various skin colors, hair types and body sizes are refreshing! Finally, I see people that look like ME! There are still some aspects that I am trying to fully embrace because for too long I was feed the lie of what the "desirable" body or hair type was. BUT I am changing and I am glad my children will not go through that brainwashing.
