Am I the only one not feeling safe to be in the office due to the spread of delta varient? The partners I work with are pressuring me to come back to the office everyday and i don’t feel safe.

Any Indians here have intel on whether consulates in India are stamping H1b renewals? Now that the travel ban has been lifted starting Nov, wondering whether it’s safe to travel back home, renew my expired stamp, and come back to the US

Does anyone feel like they don’t want to go back to normal? On the one hand, absolutely I want to. I miss seeing friends, dressing up, going out, and traveling for work. On the other hand I have saved so much money over the past year, spent a lot more time with family than I would have ever been able to, and actually rested and been able to focus on my wellness (started therapy and treatment for a chronic condition.)

Is it just me or Marriott is actively trying to kill the SPG brand. Have been trying to reach SPG platinum customer service line - 3 attempts so far, each lasting 30 mins, no success yet.

Any recs for good gyms around South End or Back Bay? I’m a 27F, looking to get back into lifting but also I want options for personal training.

Any online services that diagnose adhd ? Based in the uk and the wait it weeks if not months.

Pharma Insight Bingo!? I’ll start. “Patients have settled for a new normal.”

Is there any difference in WLB between T1 and T2 consulting firms (in the Toronto offices)? For example, On average, do T2 consultants work/ travel the same amount as T1 consultants in a given year?

When traveling does anyone else struggle to get motivated to use the gym and eat healthy? How do you over come this?

Been seeing a therapist for a while now and feeling worse than ever. Been having suicidal thoughts. Not sure what to do.

Hey everyone. I am not an ADHD consultant, but mom to a 6 year old who is very likely ADHD (we will be starting the diagnosis process soon). I wanted to hear from anyone who was also diagnosed as a young kid on any advice you have for me? Knowing what you do now, would you recommend meds for a 6 year old (if it comes to that)? What other solutions/therapies can I use with my kid? Please, any advice is welcome!

I got rolled off from an engagement but my travel was booked with Delta non-refundable tickets through the next two months. It passed the 24 hr cancellation period. Can I still be the ticket 💰 back?

Flight cancelled. Not weather related. How many points?

TTC for a year, went to RE for a fertility check and SO and I are healthy. Other than the ovulation prediction kits, what can help improve our chances?

Just got Southwest Companion pass and have a ton of points to burn. Where should I go for long weekend with the wife?

Taking my first project with travel. A bit concerned about maintaining a healthy lifestyle while traveling M-Th for 3 months. Has anyone found a way to keep a good routine for staying in a gym/running and keeping a good diet while on the road?

Thanks in advance

Chase Sapphire Reserve is not able to book a ticket for me on Air India because the flight is not showing up on their system. The flights shows up everywhere else including on Expedia, which powers Chase’s portal. Anyone had similar experience?

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

Anyone switched from consular processing to change of status to activate their H1B? If yes, could you pls share when and how(i.e. if you had a ppmd looped in) you reached out to the law firm. My worm authorization is set to expire in 6 months and travel to home country is risky..

Curious if anyone started sweating intensely during their sleep as they got older or if it was related to a condition. Some nights, now more often, I wake up completely drenched. Any ideas?

Are Tuck and Darden really much better for consulting than other schools? Yeah they have that rep but it seems they have more students recruit for MBB so overall success rate into these firms isn’t much higher than other schools.

Moving to the area for work and was wondering if I live off of the San Bernardino metrolink line, when I bring the train in to Union Station and then transfer to the LA metro system, will I end up ...

Making a switch form Android to iOS. Whats the best way to get my backup messages on to the new device ?

Hi Team, I was part of the layoff at Elastic last week. Our whole midmarket AE department was eliminated.
Does someone hire for a midmarket/commercial AE position in The Netherlands?
I am a native German speaker. Of course I already applied via LinkedIn, but I urgently need a new job in January.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Fishes,

How Can I get free voucher for AWS Dev Associate exam without any co-pay ?

Looking for a lighter/puffer winter jacket and figured at this point I’ll wait until they go on sale. Does that ever happen with Barbour, Patagonia, Northface etc?

Anyone have any academic resources on how to dose caffeine intake? I feel like I’m drinking too much and want to look at some actual research

I just tested positive for COVID-19. Ask me anything you want. Anything. I’m a beacon of knowledge now and essentially a virologist l, epidemiologist, and family physician rolled into one. The power I wield over all you plebeians and proletariat is insurmountable to even the most worthy foe. Ask me my symptoms. Go ahead.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Does anyone with adhd ever feel like they just can’t wake up? I feel so lazy but I want to be so productive. Also, lately when I take my medicine I can’t even focus on work just other things.

I got bumped back to platinum elite on both Marriott and SPG.. after being gold for a few months now (have been on a local project for a year now)
Strange.

Does anyone know what Kirkland’s billing year is? Aka when do hours start again?

Who misses their office ? And if you don’t, how long have you been wfh?

Is a secondment a way of being pushed out? Got offered a secondment with a big client but now I’m worried I’m being pushed out because I’ve been slow lately. Third year corporate V20.

Trying to lateral and the conflicts clearance process could not be more frustrating. I'm at the point where I'm becoming resentful and annoyed at my new firm and I haven't even started. Is this indicative of my future experience there or completely unrelated?

How do you win back a partner’s trust after making careless errors (e.g., misstating case law)

But actually how do you bill your time? (and don’t say contemporaneously)

Say you spend 2 minutes answering an email to a client earlier in the day and then 3 minutes on another email later in the day. Do you bill 0.1 or 0.2? More importantly, how do you keep track of that throughout the day?

Those of you who have transferred offices at the same firm, how did it go? How did you present the request? I am a junior hoping to transfer from a satellite to a larger market’s office.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Anyone here deal with Phantom Share Agreements? Would that be in the wheelhouse for an ECVC lawyer? My BIL is being offered a job with a company and received a proposed phantom shares agreement. One condition states that he must remain in good standing with the company even after the 3 year vesting period to receive distributions. Is that atypical?

Some recruiter just called my mobile, sneezed and hung up.

I am getting sick of these cold calls.

Does having a JD and an MBA make an impact on salary/hiring chances upon law school grad/summer associate positions?

I already have an MBA and curious if it makes any impact at all.

I got that coveted big law job.

But I would much rather want a family of my own and someone to hug and kiss, something I feel really sad about around christmas.

Never had much contact with my dad, and two years ago, I broke off contact with my mother because I realized that she had been a manipulative narcissist my entire childhood.

Working 50-60h weeks on average doesn’t help your dating life though, and who would want to date someone with no family anyway

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

Mid-level when she's leading the call: please make sure you take notes. It's expected of the person not leading a call (note I always take notes)

Me(jr): asked to lead a call for a different deal as training. Mid-level doesn't take notes (also on call) and tells me it's the job if the junior to take notes.

Single BigLaw-yers, how often do you have sex? How the hell do you even have the time to meet new people?

How do I tell a firm I screened with that another firm I screened with is moving forward with full rounds? I would prefer the former firm, even though the latter firm is ranked higher. Thanks for any advice

Do big law firms typically need references when you lateral from another big law firm? I don’t think I suck at my job but haven’t made close partner connections at my current firm so not sure who I would ask.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

Do you have a supervisor who makes you feel like nothing you do is right?
