I (25M) have a privileged life but am in a terrible place. I’m normally quite happy. I have Supportive, but emotionally distant parents, no debt, some money in the bank, a great girlfriend and friends who care about me.

I left consulting in late 2019 to join a startup, was laid off in March, has an internship in private equity with an emerging fund and was not offered a full time role.

I am the most depressed I’ve ever been and can’t even get an inch. All I think about is my lack of work

Are any California firms you know of hiring in the IP Associates from the Class of 2021? Lots of talk about associate retention and associates leaving, a lot less talk about associates looking to hop aboard.

Hi everyone. I am currently looking for better opportunities in the legal department of various companies. Kindly DM me if you can help with a referral. I have completed BBA LLB (Hons.) and PQE of 1.5 years. I am ready to relocate for work.

Obviously MBB are the top consulting firms, but would people feel different about prestige based on service line? As in, is it better to be any type of BA/EM/etc at McK than doing the “sexiest” strategy work at a B4/tier 2? Would any of y’all at Tier 2s accept any lateral role at MBB? Curious to hear thoughts

31M, looking for my partner in crime, if you are European/middle eastern/american, career driven, family oriented, have a great personality and want to grow in your relationship with Allah & plan to stay in the US at least midterm, hit me up or put in a referral :) probably asking for the impossible here.

Hi all, I am really trying to pivot into PM, but I am running into hurdles with my history. I do have several years of project management experience, but no formal certifications. My current employer utilizes Kanban, but we don’t use WIP boards (we basically have to memorize where all our projects are at). We only use a CRM to manage our projects. I’m trying to get a Google project management certificate, as this counts towards the PMP, but I’m too burnt out. Any recs for courses/carts?

How soon before your baby's due date did you tell your firm? Any benefits to telling sooner or later?

My partner just forwarded me an email chain of nonsense asking me “can you take care of this I’m golfing today thanks” in case you’re wondering how my Sunday is going.

Have you ever purposely done bad work for a partner you never want to work with again? 🙃

M&A lawyers, what are some best practices you’ve picked up or expect from your juniors? Lateraled and realized my training on these “expectations” was sub-par. Thinking of things like: updating checklist daily, following up if seniors haven’t responded to questions, running and circulating redlines as soon as opposing counsel’s comments come in, setting calendar invites for any filing/notice deadlines, etc.

What does partner track vs counsel actually look like? The senior counsel I work with seem to work just as much if not more than the partners I work with. Why not gun for partner if that’s going to be your life anyway with lower comp?

I have a callback on Friday with a firm I applied to through a referral and I’d definitely accept an offer if granted. I’ve separately engaged a recruiter to apply to other firms but have not sent anything out yet. Should I hold off on the other applications until I hear back from the firm I have an interview with, or should I ask the recruiter to send them out anyways?

Is it true that Cooley just laid off an additional 100+ associates? (In addition to their past loyoffs). Seems wild

I know there are a ton of posts on billable hours requirements at many firms but do any other mid/senior level associates spend a TON of time on non-billables - group/dept./firm meetings; training; events; business development (writing articles, doing webinars, networking; outside association events); etc.? I feel like the number of hours spent on this is lost in the discussion sometimes and I know I spend an additional 300-400 hours on this per year. Anyone else?

2nd year here that got f***** over by a colleague. We were supposed to work on a memo due in two days but she went completely MIA. She knew I was going on vacation this week. I told her I’d be working through the weekend so she could bring the memo across the finish line. Now I have to crunch on my vacation. I hate badmouthing people (and I don’t plan to) but the idea that she can get away with blowing off a colleague without any sort of consequence pisses me off. Thoughts on how to handle?

Lateraling to another BigLaw Corp firm in another city but really like the people I work with. How do you start the speech to your parter(s) that you found another job?

Do you take people at their word when they say “not a tonight thing”/“don’t stay up for this”?

My friend got into a significant car accident and is going to sue the other person. Would it raise any issues with my firm (or destroy client confidentiality?) if I sit it on phone calls between her and her lawyer? I'm not a litigator so not used to this world.

Could someone explain the difference between a firm policy that sets a specific amount of paid vacation time for associates versus a firm policy that has unlimited vacation time? Specifically with respect to how this impacts billable requirements. Thank you!

Cooley is definitely getting a 1 out of 10 on the next vault survey. Punish them

What’s the logic behind not sharing a change in the closing date with the target’s counsel if you’re buy-side?

Can litigation associates get remote roles?

Don’t mind me just sitting in the office in uncomfortable clothes doing absolutely nothing because the firm says we have to have the same schedule as our clients who are currently not giving us any business

Is it pretty much the consensus that Big law T&E offers the best WLB in the industry? Any reason why more people don’t pursue this path?

Also, how do non-law exit options look into private wealth management, family offices etc in terms of comp and WLB?
