My fellow watch snobs, I need your help. As a budding WIS, I currently wear a Laco Friedrichsafen(B-uhr) and 100% will have my next luxury watch be a Panerai luminor/sub/due(marina included). After that, I'm expecting to go Omega Speedy, then (grail) Calatrava. Being new-ish to the game, what would you recommend for progression for a complete set, assuming I stop there? Assuming black leather/dress PP, what silicone/steel/leather combos would you suggest in my luminor/speedy path?

Hi fishes,
I am looking for a single occupancy in a 2/3 bhk near WTC, yeswanthpur, Bangalore.
Budget : 15-20k
If any leads, please dm.

I am due to take 2 weeks parental leave sometime in the next month and have an offer lined up. Is it better to tell the new place I would prefer to push my start date to take my leave and join two weeks after (accounting for 2 weeks of notice when I get back)? Would that be burning a bridge with current firm (taking leave and giving notice as soon as I am back)? I want to avoid losing 2 weeks of salary during that time if I can.

As a 4th year I feel like I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing and everyone around me seems to be competent and confident. Am I just terrible at my job or is everyone else just better at faking it?

What is a good ratio of billable hours to total hours?

Obviously the "ideal" is 100%, but as the junior attorney at a small firm, I'm do the guy taking all the prospective client cold calls, and it can seriously cut into my day.

My goal has been to spend at least 75% of my time on billable work. Reasonable?

On my notice period. Is it bad to not be doing the same hours and leaving the office earlier than I was before? Just don’t want to burn myself out and I am also just checked out. But I feel like the other associates are judging me

I left a firm (AMLAW 100) recently but forgot to print the list of matters I worked on while at the firm. How much of a pain is it going to be for me to get that list from HR (for conflicts purposes)? Any advice?

Anyone work for NYC HEALTH & HOSPITAL that can talk about quality of work? Benefits, WLB, WFH, workload (!!), billable hours (??) etc? TYIA

I have been working my tail off since coming back to work after a parental leave (which my boss was not happy or impressed about me taking) to get back in good standing. Today was my bi-annual review and the partners left me such glowing reviews it left me in tears to see that my hard work to both be there for my family and make it in my career has been noticed 😭

Normal to ask for a bonus during a mid year review? For context, I work at a small (20ish attorney) law firm in a major market. The firm said this is the first year they are doing mid year reviews for associates. I’m a first year, 9 months into the job.

Giving notice this week…logistics require this to be done over a phone call. Will be the most recent of several associates who’ve given notice within the past 2 months (smaller firm). Any advice on how I can avoid/soften being the final nail in the proverbial coffin and/or straw that breaks the camel’s back and/or insert your preferred idiom here? Don’t need the pent up ire of these partners to rain down on me just because I’m last to leave…

I had an interview at a law firm and their recruiter wants to talk on a Sunday afternoon. Is this a red flag about company culture and not respecting weekend time? Or are they just in a big hurry and want to get my offer done quickly so they snag me before someone else?

Have a junior that isn’t improving - not even catching typos. I’ve given him back redline bloodbaths/some short feedback. As a mid level, I’m stuck w him bc of partner staffing. Any tips?

IP Attorneys (patent, trademark or both) what’s your billable hours expectation/target where you work (small mid or big law)?

Quick legal question to see if anyone has any ideas off the top of their head: would courts generally honor choice of law provisions if the cause of actions is fraudulent inducement - tort based not contract based?

My full time job (not SMU) is literally making me sick-spent time at the ER. One associate quit and another is out of full paid parental leave (must be nice, I’m not paid for doing double the work)…so I’m now expected to do the work of 3 associates. My supervisor isn’t exactly understanding, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve been searching for jobs, but it’s difficult since my background is diverse and not focused on one area of law. If I quit, how hard is it to find a new job?

Is asking first year associates to hit 215 billable hours normal?!

Is a daily 1.5 hour commute (total) worth a more supportive work environment and better benefits?
Thinking of jumping ship after just 6 months in a fully remote position for an in-house, in person job where expectation is 5d/week in person. Commute would be around 90minutes/day in interstate. Better salary, good 401k match, parental leave (20 weeks paid), 4wks PTO, and a very big name for the resume. 3 YOE. But I love the flexibility of remote work, so struggling to decide.

Any insight???

To my orthodox colleagues: how do you adjust your schedule to account for Shabbat? Do you find that it helps your prioritize during the week?

For anyone who felt stuck in an area of biglaw that they liked / were decently good at but had no intention of making partner yet also no ideas about what else to do, how did you get out? Are you happier now? I feel stuck and may stay forever out of inertia. Flipping through job applications has been relatively uninspiring so far. Any advice would be appreciated!

Anyone know how to cite do a continued depo transcript? Can't find any rules that speak to this

Just lateraled and looks like I’ll be taking on a sizeable privacy practice from an associate who left recently. Any benefit to CIPP and CIPM training/certification as a lawyer? In DC if that matters.
