3L - post-grad offer $128k at midsize NJ firm. Should I keep applying?
1800 billable. I am wondering if that's considered competitive for this market or if I should keep applying elsewhere (NYC or larger regional firms).
I have seen such a wide range of numbers for first-year associates in NJ so any insight is appreciated.

I am never good at asking follow up questions during an interview. Actually this will be more like a discussion about a STEM opening in my district. Ideas on questions and maybe conversation starters? Thanks!

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?

Orally accepted a job offer that I’m excited about, but have another interview this week for a different job. I didn’t realize the first offer would come so quickly! Should I cancel the interview this week or go through with it? Small legal community- people talk.

Does anyone know anyone who was casted for the show/spin-off? Looking for casting @interview tips. Thanks.

Looking for suggestions what the are the critical recruiting metrics Amazonians use or asked during the interview process? Are they anything different from reqs load, screening, interviews, offer hire, time to hire, DEI etc…looking for some great examples.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Hi Guys,

I am working in the Oil & Gas industry.
YoE: 10
CCTC: 10.86

I got a call from Accenture, Deloitte, TechM and VISICS, Netherland.

Last conversation with HR is mentioned here.

Accenture-more than 30 days
Deloitte-more than 30 days
TechM-last week
VISICS-last week

Accenture and Deloitte HR is not responding. Frequent interviews are scheduled and cancelled stating official reasons.

Expert comments please.
Anybody having similar experience??
Or is it happening due to FY ending??

One doubt last week technical and hr round completed for me in tcs. Today when I logged in to ibegin tcs portal status shown as screening: Resume shortlisted. Whether tcs will plan to conduct interview again for me

Has anyone ever had to prepare a creative brief based on a fictional campaign prompt as part of their interview process? I’m doing one right now but find it to be a rather strange exercise...

Hello there audit folks! Anybody considering a shift to financial due diligence? Happy to discuss opportunities at EY, please DM me if interested. We are really looking for folks with healthcare or tech experience and can move extremely quickly during the interview process. I've been in the group for years and transitioned as a senior so can share the positives and negatives.

Is applying a few days before the “Apply by” date too late? Do most decisions get made early on/they don’t wait for all applications before interviewing/hiring?

I’m so bad at writing the background/ facts section for briefs… it always gets heavily edited and no one is giving me constructive feedback other than “advocate more”. In contrast, my legal argument section is generally without edits. For context, first defense lit job post appellate clerkship. Is this normal?? Any tips for getting better other than “advocating more”?

Any hospital in-house attorneys willing to share their title, location and compensation?

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

A friend was rewatching old episodes of Suits, which admittedly I’ve never seen. The main character starts at this law firm where associates are given cubicles not offices. There’s no way that’s accurate, right??? I have a cube but I’m just a lowly gov atty frm a state school LOL not a Harvard law alum at a reputable NYC firm

Workout before (4:30 am) or after (6:30ish) work?

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.

That time of year... friends in the office giving me funny/cool gifts. I’ll need to reciprocate but am just brain dead these days.

What are some of the best “office” gifts you’ve received in the past?

What kind of professional development/marketing-focused seminars/webinars/etc. has your firm offered that you found helpful?

If you use the pomodoro method for time focus and tracking, do you bill in those increments or just keep your billablr timer going the whole time? For example, I work in 25 minute increments for large projects then I get a break. Do I bill .5 for that increment and restart my billing or keep my billing continuously going thereby not rounding up for those 5 min? I have just kept my timer going.

Any insight into Barnes and Thornburg, especially in Minneapolis? Culture? Hours requirement? Comp???

Big Law Dads: How much time do you usually take off when your wife has a baby? And do you actually get to take off, or do you just end up working from home half the time? My wife is due Mid-December, and I’m staffed on 4 M&A deals trying to close by year end, so it’s not looking promising.

What is the expectation at your firms about coming into work after making your billable hours requirement? Asking especially for those who do not get a bonus per extra hour billed over the minimum.

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?
