A lot of people complain about millennials but a Gen Z clerk just told me that she wasn’t going to download some documents from a deal site because they were so many (and she had to download one document at a time) and I should review them directly on the site.

Bro, what?

Anyone aware about the expected hike for this year as per rating ?

Dutch Fish,
I'm looking to move over in a few months. My job is in Amsterdam but was wondering if anyone does the commute from Rotterdam?
Secondly any sources to look for housing in Amsterdam/Rotterdam? I've not seen many places online + they seem to have concrete flooring?

Thanks!

In my room with all my computers, the heat this year is killing me slowly. I'm sweating all day long, even with the AC on.

Is it dumb to apply for the Hyatt credit card just to get the night free?

Has anyone that left a firm with a noncompete and subsequently asked for a listing of prohibited clients? I have a non-compete relating to clients I worked on 2 years leading up to my departure. The only problem is I'm not entirely sure what clients (I know most but unsure of all) I would have put time into those two years before I left.

So, Cadwalader announced that it’s cutting associate pay by 25%. How widespread do you think this approach will become?

Hi fishes,

What type of questions can be expected in a managerial round for a data scientist role.

I’m sure this has been answered elsewhere BUT: what’s a realistic % increase when jumping to a different consulting firm? Never done so before - new to the game. Thanks much

Hi 👋 everyone,

please give me few likes. Need to DM a person regarding job referral.

Anyone know the salary range for a Sup in LA?

Does anyone have any insights on the culture/ workload at Milbank’s project finance team?

Any jobs out there that don’t require independent / analytical thinking? Really burnt out from thinking and would love to switch to a more routine position. Yes this is partly imposter syndrome talking.

Do any of you have side-jobs or maybe hobbies that you make money from? Alternatively, what do you think sounds like a good one to look into?

Trying to make the move to in house but most of my career has been litigation in various areas of law. I am trying to pick up some transactional work to get more experience. I am a quick learner and have no doubt I can move into more in house areas but it’s so hard to even get an interview to explain. Very few entry level jobs when I graduated and now can only get jobs in the stuff I don’t want to do anymore.

I’m an associate at a boutique firm making under market with 1950 hours req. While I absolutely love the people I work with, and I can handle the hour requirement, the work I actually do is just not my cup of tea (abt 80% insurance defense). I’m hoping to lateral to a bigger firm with lockstep or close to lockstep comp and generally more resources/better mentorship opportunities in the business lit./commercial lit. space. Any tips for going about successfully making the switch?

Curious to know what other firm's bonus structures are, particularly those with 1900 billable requirement and below. Trying to figure out if my firm's structure is the norm or if the associates are getting screwed.

Hello! I just accepted a position in Pensacola, Florida. I'd appreciate any insight about the town, housing, vibe,etc. If you guys could share pros and cons please. TiA!

Just verbally accepted an offer to become the newest partner at a much bigger firm in town after 5+ years slaving for a smaller firm that told me they would only “let” me be of counsel (and pay rent equal to my current salary) or stay an associate. So long, late nights with no bonuses! Adios, screaming phone calls out of the blue! WOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Any tips on leaving a firm “correctly”? Was about to go “of counsel” with my firm of 6 years, but then another firm whose partners I really respect (and personally like) offered me a partnership position. I predict my current bosses will *flip* (cut off file access immediately, try to beat me to calling my clients, etc.), so how do I set myself up for a successful transition?

I’m a big law attorney and thinking about getting my real estate license (brother is thinking about the same thing, so we’re thinking to go into some RE investing together). Thoughts? I know my firm wouldn’t ever let me actually represent someone as an RE agent, so then I’m wondering if there’s really any value to me getting a license?

Happy Be Kind to Lawyers Day!

Any recommendations on relocating to Hawaii? I am registered for the Hawaii bar but currently based out of Los Angeles and practicing in California as a licensed attorney.

I have created a bowl for those who want to know more about their potential new firm - ask anonymously and hopefully someone within the firm will respond! Or we can help find the right person for you! Bowl name is biglaw offer - see you there!

Congrats everyone! This week was terrible with omicron, schools closed, backlogged work from the holidays, general malaise from two years of a pandemic, etc. It might have been the most difficult week of my career so far. But, we made it. Kudos to everyone. Here’s hoping that next week is better.

Speaking of side hustles, any recommendations? $$

I’m a first year associate (I have been here a month and a half), what am I giving for Christmas to others in the office and who should those others be? Thanks in advance!

How much time per week does everyone spend in the office (not so much a billables question, just time in the office pre-COVID orders)?

Modify PDF so that it is right side up for partner who still doesn’t have a desktop computer at home. 0.1

Nothing like the named partner who you *know* is actively opposed to associate salary increases (despite living in a market where the COL has significantly risen and outpaced general inflation) telling you about how annoying it is to winterize her 4 mega luxury sailboats she has on her waterfront dock. 🙄

Tips for becoming more independent as you progress from junior to midlevel? I am starting to be put into the position of just having to handle things including drafting and could use some advice from others.
