2nd year privacy associate, just got staffed on a new client which is number one on my "exit opportunities" list that I made back in law school. When I joined this firm, I had no idea they were a client. 🥹 Can't tell anyone due to confidentiality obviously, so just came here to randomly proclaim my excitement lol. Thanks for reading 🥳

Meanwhile… I am in awe of the fact that you had an “exit opportunities” list in law school. Here I am, flying by the seat of my pantyhose and seeing where I might land.

I dunno how great it is, I have bad anxiety and sometimes cope w it by over-planning lol. But I appreciate the compliment! I went to law school older-ish (28) and had worked in another industry for many years, so my goal is to find a legal career that intersects w that industry. Still to early to tell if it will work out lol, but so far so good 😅

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

Mid-level here. Has anyone gotten their firm to approve their doing work at a deep discount and, if so, what strategies did you use? A potential client approached me directly about a small matter (~20 to 30 hr amicus brief). The potential client (gov’t) pays a standard rate ~40% lower than mine, but I want to take on the project because it would be a good professional opportunity (e.g., high profile case & client) and of course the lower rate won’t affect my comp directly. 🤷‍♀️ All advice welcome!
