I have an opportunity to be a Food and Beverage manager for a hotel I have been for 6 years. Currently I am overseeing all operations but want to focus more on the F&B world. Would anyone know how much salary I should be asking for this role?

What salary should I be looking for in the role of an IAM Analyst? Working on breaking into Cybersecurity and feel that role is a good start for me. From what I found online in the Dallas area, I could start out making $96k but my best friend says that seems a bit high.

RBC vs Neo financial ? For a data engineering position which company is better in terms of work- life balance and career growth .
I know benefits wise RBC is much better but can any one on the technology side tell me if RBC is on par with the industry standards in the data field and it’s not like old technology . During the interview process I got to know they use python 2 which was so surprising.

RBC - 100k with 10,500 bonus ( comes with lots of benefits like employee mortgage rates and no pro

Well, that was quick. Peter and Madi are no longer pursuing a relationship...

Recently got in a relationship with this girl for a few weeks and we’ve had our differences because we’re two very different people learning about each other / trying to find a middle ground. She broke up with me last night saying she doesn’t have the emotional energy to dedicate to the relationship and is just walking away instead of putting in the work that a relationship requires. She doesn’t seem like she knows what she wants - after the talk, she said she has strong feelings for me and wjll

What's the best financial literacy or work success lesson you learned from your parents?

I grew up with zero guidance from mine and definitely suffered from it, so I'm hoping to give my daughter a better foundation than I had.

For Deloitte Human Capital- what is the range for C and SC? I currently make 120K and not sure if I would be "priced out" of C level?

Does anyone know/ballpark how much can I expect as a GTM Strategy Associate at JP Morgan?

Does anyone have a drink or two while working late some nights? I’ve gotten into the habit of having a glass of scotch on a Thursday or Friday night while working. Not saying it’s a bad thing, just curious if others do it.

Anyone willing to share their experiences working at the NJ Office of Attorney General? Got an interview next week 😬 Out for 8 years in private practice so this would be a really new chapter. Any tips would be so greatly appreciated, TIA!

Are there any Big Law L&E groups in San Francisco that don’t expect 24/7 availability and actually respect a evenings and weekends as being “off-work” hours? Or only outside of Big Law to find that? Any recommended firms for that good work life balance in Bay Area?

My firm has ~50 attorneys and is the best in the field. all decisions are made by one man, eg bonuses, raises, promotions. There is no transparency. The only objective measure might have been billing. The billing requirement is 1900/ yr, but a total of ~200 hours are no-charged automatically, and he goes after closing the case and no charges hours based on factors unknown. The result is that no one can track their own billables, and the criteria for bonuses are a mystery. Is this normal?

Been a bit distracted and distant for a few weeks (my bad). What’s the summer associate program plan?

Can anyone clarify what a managing associate is? Got an email from a managing associate from another firm but I’m not familiar with the term.

I’m a midlevel Big Law associate applying for in-house positions that ask for experience drafting and negotiating agreements. I have negotiated a few agreements, but I am light in the area, though I have the substantive knowledge and I’m comfortable marking up agreements. If asked about my negotiation experience in an interview, I plan to talk about the agreements I have negotiated and some of the issues that came up. How would you recommend I talk about my negotiation skills in an interview?

Not gonna lie. That 1500 hours a year is sounding real sign me up-ish.

Does anyone have any info on parr brown gee and loveless in Salt Lake City?

Every time I get weekend work last minute or late night emails to do research that night (which happened more times this week than it did not) I always convince myself, “ok, that’s not that bad. It won’t take too long to do.” Anyone else go through this mental exercise to keep sane 🙃

How is the transactional corporate tax group at Akin different than M&A?

Curious how everyone feels about Donna Rotunno’s (Weinstein’s lawyer) interview with the NYT re: women’s responsibility for sexual assault.

Tone-deaf Super flashy firm owner with a $250k car, luxury watches, etc., constantly jokes about how expensive stuff is. Associates here get nickel and dimed on salary (less than $100k), no cost of living increases, no wfh, no bonus, mediocre benefits, and ridiculous hours expectations despite “no billables”. What a joke.

Small business owner wants to name their LLC after a song. Likelihood of this being a problem?

How have you known that a firm planned on bringing you in? What were some of the signs you noticed in your interviews? Also, how quickly did you hear back? What was the size of the firm?

Goddamn, the opportunity cost of clerking is quite high

I work in a firm of about 20 lawyers. In some depts staff are fantastic. In others, they are lazy, show zero initiative, don’t follow instructions, etc, so I waste my time doing admin tasks. Contd
