My little sister got engaged today. She’s so in love and she truly found her soulmate. I’m so happy for her but I can’t help but feel bad for me. She’s always been an over achiever and has always “beat” me in everything (job, looks, love, social life etc). She and her fiancé are moving into a nice new condo in an amazing city while I’m single and stuck with my parents because I got laid off during Covid. I love my sister, but I’m so sad about my current state. I don’t know how to feel better.

Today’s mishap of the day. Was playing coco melon on my phone for the toddler and she somehow managed to stream it to the office tv where my husband was in a meeting. Whoops 😅. At least it was work appropriate?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a label maker that you can use for the classroom?

Looking for referral in JP Morgan for credit analyst role . Location Mumbai/Bangalore preferable@jpmorgan

Anyone else notice that a bunch of non-market firms pulled their NY job postings as of November 1? I was hoping to see how much below market they paid!

Special place in hell for associates that take 2 week vacations the last two weeks of December and leave you to cover their matters. Fine to take vacation but being completely out of pocket when your deal is blowing up, leaving the rest of the team to step up is ridiculous. We all want to spend time with our families

How much did you lie on your resume to get your dream job?

Do other firms have mandatory department meetings? Practice group meetings?

I averaged 250+ billables for Q1. Took a vacation in April and since being back, work has been pretty chill (~35/week) and I havent taken any new work. However, I am finding myself not very productive and the smallest things are taking me way longer than they should. Cant get myself to do these things but then that makes me anxious. Feeling stuck. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation and what did you do? I’m a junior associate in corporate.

Which redline software do you use?

Anyone know how the work/life balance is at Clark Hill? Ty

What are your favorite time entry tips and tricks? I’m going into my second year and I feel like I suck at it. How do you write your entries to maximize your billable time—reading/drafting emails, internals calls, crying about a deadline?

Does anyone have any insight to the billable hours and culture at Quarles & Brady in the Minneapolis office?

Corporate juniors. What are you guys annualizing? I’ll probably finish somewhere between 1300-1400 billable hours.

Public service announcement: please update your bio. I am in-house counsel and I regularly check bios and/or LinkedIn if you’re working for me or across from me, and I am shocked at how many senior associates and even partners in biglaw have no bio, no representative transactions, etc. You’ve already done the work, show it off! Such an easy way to sell yourself (and such an easy way to leave me wondering if you’re qualified if it’s missing).

First year here in a quiet patch (following a very busy period). There have been a few days where I bill 0 hours, which I’m told isn’t worth worrying about in this quiet time. But how do you spend your time on days when you bill nothing? This is a major stress for me. Cheers!

I have a few “referral to hiring manager” from DOJ trial attorney positions. Oldest referral was a month ago. Any attorneys go through this process have insight into timeframes for interviews?

This seasonal depression be HITTIN

Anyone else have colleagues who ask for things and give no sense of timing? As in “here are the other side’s edits to Agreement X. Please review and give comments.” In this situation, there are no norms or context at play (e.g., the transaction is at an early stage). I just got hit with two of these on Friday night.

Has anyone been a U.S. Lawyer and tried to practice in England? And any tips for making the transition?

For those of you at firms that have DEI/affinity groups, can you let me know if your firms have a Jewish affinity group for self-identifying Jewish associates and/or staff, and, if so, how this fits into your firm’s DEI goals (i.e. on the sliding scale between welcome participation or benign neglect).

Does anyone try to practice mindfulness throughout their work day? If so, how do you do it? Does it help?

Do you know of any of your colleagues “entanglements” with other colleagues? Or is this not a thing in BL?
