EY OTS recruiter has reached out. Growth trajectory sounds appealing but I couldn't find any previous posts for comp at SM/D level (what's the level before partner)? What's a typical all-in range?

Hey fishes,

I recently joined TCS and my marriage is planned in the 2nd week of November.

Can anyone suggest how can I apply for leaves.

I am still not assigned to any project.

Moreover my husband is not in India so can I also get permission to work from outside India for a month or so if I want to visit my husband or do I need to take leave.
Will TCS allow me to take so many leaves even if it LWD at such early stage if joining

Is the military a well-paid career? I’m asking for my future.

So I’ve been on a big tech client adv project for months now and have formed a good relationship with one of the contacts. She’s dropping hints about open positions, and they would pay me about 40% more and I like the company culture, so I want to work there. Will there be a noncompete or other internal problem if I go work for them / tell them I’m interested at the very least?

I have 9+ years experience and presently working with TCS. Now I'm serving notice period and planning to join Accenture or some other company giving better offer. But now TCS is suggesting me Onsite opportunity for better compensation. Should I revoke my resignation or not?

Looking to buy a gemstone ring for our anniversary. None of the Canadian jewelry stores I checked (Michael Hill- People’s) provide a GIA certificate with their jewelry. Is this a red flag? I fear paying $ for jewelry that’s not certified. Suggestions!

So what happened with GE after that groundbreaking fraud report?

Anyone take a UX Content Collective course? Working at a SaaS company and wanted to take the micro copy course with professional development funds.

Hi All...can you please advise me what the perks Wells Fargo offers other than salary. Also, does anyone know the salary slabs?

The clients that always nitpick the bill are the same clients that will ignore you all week and then respond at 2:30 on a Friday and say they’re available for a call at 5 pm. Change my mind.

What’s the company that pays the most to UX Designers?

Any suggestions on resources to use as reference to negotiate purchase agreements?

I’m wondering if a move from a V10 in NYC to another big law firm in a smaller market would actually mean less hours. Is there reallyyyy a difference?

Name the ONE firm that has: (1) market pay, (2) market bonuses (including special bonuses), (3) 2200 billables makes you a hero and not a regular chump, (4) respectable partners (not screamers), (5) a very reputable finance practice and (6) WFH is okay. Ready, set, go!!

I have this partner who doesn’t enjoy working with me because I do below avg work for her but she has little choice of foot soldiers. I do below avg work for her because she consistently gives me little time to do huge tasks (and usually at odd hours) and doesn’t involve me in what finally goes to the client (and I have no visibility on the client’s expectations, response, feedback, expected timeline). How do we (mainly I) get out of this painful cycle?

What do you wish you knew about the lateral process before you did it? Any other tips that would be helpful to navigate it? Thanks!

Any sense as to whether firms will still be actively looking for 3-5th year corporate/M&A lateral associates at the beginning of 2023? Not ready to lateral from midlaw yet but will be then.

How is the RTO policy for the ECVC firms - Cooley, Fenwick, etc.? Are these firms flexible with WFH?

Have a coworker who volunteers for work but never ends up doing it. At what point does it make sense to go to the partner to address this? We’re both midlevels, and I’m tired of having to put in even more time every weekend to pick up his slack. If this were a junior, I’d address it with them first, but this is unacceptable from a fifth/sixth year.

The firm asked me and another senior associate to take the first year out to lunch on her first day. Sure no prob. Then they asked me to submit the invoice and they only reimburse for the first year lunch and not mine or the other senior associate. It was $75 between all of us and I only got like $20 back. It’s making me feel super nickel and dined. Am I wrong?

I’m lateraling, and so requested a report from our conflicts department for matters I’ve worked on. Our conflicts department is in a different office. What are the chances word has traveled to my office that I asked for the report? Is it a telltale sign that someone is leaving? I have not given notice yet.

What matters more: meeting/exceeding billable requirements or doing high quality work well above your class year?

Y’all, my outie keeps screwing me over. Like she’ll just go to sleep and then I wake up back in this hellhole and clients are demanding shit that should have got done yesterday. Sometimes she’ll just go out drinking with no regard for how shitty I’ll feel in the AM. So rude! 😭 Are y’all’s outies like this?!

Imagine a person lateraling into Big Law who has never had to do the billable hours previously. 1) What would be your best piece of advice? 2) What do you wish someone would have told you about billing when you started? 3) Is there maybe a book for someone entering the minefield on billing effectively and capturing time effectively? Thanks in advance!

How to tell recruiter you no longer want to go to final interview with firm? Should I just do it out of courtesy?

Is K&E a toxic firm? I have heard nightmare stories from current and former attorneys there.

Every year I end up owing about $12-15k in federal taxes. (Plus an underpayment penalty). If you’re a single senior associate with no dependents, have you figured out a way to not under withhold? I.e. number of exemptions, extra withholdings each paycheck.

Ramping up at big law as a midlevel fully remote. I feel like I’m slacking. Although have some work and am on some teams, I’m not used to having free time and feel guilty using it to run errands. I’m always there to work on a project asap as needed, but still can’t kick the feeling. Anyone else been in the same position?

Partner: Please send this to me by the end of the week.
Associate: Sends to the Partner at the end of the week.
Partner **two weeks later 10pm**: Here are my comments. Please fix. It needs to go out to the client tonight.

Dudes who initial your shirt cuffs: why? I’m new to the fancy world of big law and I’m genuinely curious. Is there some subculture of people that are impressed by this? Do you have trouble remembering your initials?

This may have been asked before but which firms are mandating vaccines and when?
