Hi are there any tax consultants in deloitte usi here?

I started a new job a month ago and that just so happened to be when my birth control decided to screw with my emotions. I can barely hold it together already and I have the added stress of a new job and it being busy season. I don’t know what to do. I cry multiple times daily. I don’t know how to keep going.

Best shows you are binging or have binged? I just finished a cruel summer 🤩

What was your worst day at work like?
I’ll go first: I had a long night, didn’t charge my phone, phone died and I woke up 5 hours past my usual alarm… missed two important meetings, I was supposed to lead one of them 🥸

I’m hoping my anti-depressants will help give me a kick to start looking for a new job. I honestly don’t have anything else left and I’m still sad.

I don’t understand the whole “sending love and hugs” thing people say. Does anyone actually feel the love when they read that?

Why are some people willing to do anything / obsessed about getting the green card in the U.S.?

When I asked them, they usually say they like American lifestyle. I love lifestyle in France, but I was in France, I was OK if I can't stay. Just trying to understand here so that I can have more empathy.

Can someone give me a range for salary for auditor with 2 years experience transferring to FDD associate? In HCOL (New York/ SF). I have been requested to give a figure and don’t want to go too low. Thank you!

I’m Launching a podcast on early stage startups and venture investing with a very dear friend of mine, this week. Any particular topics you’d like us to cover?

Looking forward to reading your responses 😀

After your PhD, did you take time to do something completely different to give yourself a break? The stress of the past few years has made working in a cafe look surprisingly appealing.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

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.

What is the scoop on med mal defense vs. plaintiff work? Is defense more respected by other practice areas if I were to switch somewhere else later?

I applied to a position that brands itself as civil litigation and apparently the role is med mal defense. Not sure what to go by but would like to do a little research before I call them back.

If I leave big law for ADA will I get canceled?

I’m a private immigration attorney whose interested into transitioning into a high level federal government attorney position in the future (not in this administration). Ideally, I’d love to work in the solicitor general’s office.

I’m only a year or two into practice and am wondering if there are any tips to best position myself for this type of position? I don’t anticipate making any moves that way for at least 5 more years. No clerking experience or law review, so that’s -2 points for me

Anyone has ever sent an email to the wrong recipient ? Could you please tell me how you’ve dealt with this. The recipient is not a party to the action.

Got a case where client got in a car accident and called the police the other driver gave completely fake information and the police didn't check it. What's our recourse to track them down?

200k in student loans. Unmarried, no kids. If you had to choose - Would you prioritize paying them down/off or saving up for big ticket items like a house/retirement?

Anyone work for Rivkin Radler? How is the pay/WLB?

How to switch practice areas? I’ve been in immigration for 3 years now and need a change. How do you convince employers you’re a good fit for a role you don’t have any experience with?

Anyone want to give me retroactive FOMO by sharing stories from their summer associate programs? Mine is entirely virtual, and needless to say we are less than enthused by what we’re missing out on

If you could ask for anything at your firm what would you ask for? (Something realistic but a stretch)

Just curious: What’s your typical reaction to lawyer jokes (from non-lawyers)?

Curious to know what other firm's bonus structures are, particularly those with billable requirements of 1900 and below. Trying to understand what the norm is and figure out if associates at my firm are getting screwed. thanks

Does anyone just wanna drink wine after work every night 😔

Any firms adopted a remote/hybrid system permanently???? We’re back in office full time and omg I hate it so much.

Work is an emotional rollercoaster - change my mind.

Is there anyway to tell if your work product isn’t measuring up? Would the partner straight up tell you that your work sucks? This is me running on the assumption that some comments are normal...
