It’s the discipline - the secret behind 100’s of Indian American companies is now automated and reduced to 1 hr a day job: 1. Post content, trainings to attract a candidate to your Bench 2. Share bench to other recruiters and clients 3. Connect with chat and close contract

I accepted an offer to join a national firm after graduating this summer. The pay is decent, and I am relatively happy so far (it’s only been a month since I joined). Today I received an email from a bigger, more prestigious firm I applied to months ago. They’re asking if I am still looking for an Associate role. I would like to interview with them to see what they have to offer. Would that be considered ‘disloyal’ towards my current firm that I just joined a month ago?

What transaction related questions should I be expecting as a second year lateral? How do you talk about your work experience effectively in a lateral interview (beyond listing the tasks you had to do)? This will be for an ECM role. Any and all other lateral interview tips appreciated!

Anyone else’s fishbowl app not working when you click notifications?

For those in the US market, what are your thoughts on King & Spalding vs. Morgan Lewis. I am not in the US now but would be looking to return to the States eventually (probably in 2 to 4 years) so want to know what people in the US think of each in terms of future opportunities that lateraling to K&S or ML would provide. Both are corporate M&A roles.

Has anyone tried just not complying with RTO? I’m a C/O 2020 in a NY corporate group and my firm recently set a date for returning to office 3 days/week. I have never worked in the office since I joined, am confident that I’m capable of wfh effectively and would 100% prefer keeping it this way. Has anyone, especially corporate juniors tried negotiating with their group on wfh? Fwiw my group is suffering from heavy attrition (even my class is more than 50% gone) and I have a good reputation.

Special place in hell for associates that take 2 week vacations the last two weeks of December and leave you to cover their matters. Fine to take vacation but being completely out of pocket when your deal is blowing up, leaving the rest of the team to step up is ridiculous. We all want to spend time with our families

Any insights on Morgan Lewis in Chicago? Average billables, culture, etc.?

Trying to gauge my skill level. Rising second year who started in m&a this spring (so around 8 months experience). I know how to run all of diligence and the closing, do schedules, draft consents, releases, resolutions, terminations, escrow ancillaries, formation docs, support agreements, contribution and exchanges, etc and manage multi office teams. I handle diligence calls and some of the smaller ancillary calls. When should I start working on the purchase agreement beyond adding comments?

Partners:

Was/is it worth it?

Thx.

DLA Piper: I’m very interested in lateraling here but I’m about to go on parental leave until March. I had a recruiter reach out and I’m trying to decide whether to throw my hat in now or wait until after leave. Does anyone have any insight into their litigation needs? It seems like they’re recruiting across the board for litigators, so I’m afraid they might not be looking to hire more next year.

Mid 2020, I turned down an opportunity to jump ship from my small law firm to a big law firm. At the time I had 4 years of practice under my belt with managerial experience. I thought the offer was reasonable, come in at a 2nd year level, but with the uncertainty of the times I played it safe. Now I regret it. What avenues do I have, if any, to jump into big law from a small firm?

What time do y’all leave the office? I’m a junior, and all my colleagues stay until sunset. I, however, come in around 8am and leave around 5/5:30pm…

Any 2022 reopenings yet??

First year in big law realizing how much taxes hurt, what percentage do people normally get back via a tax return?

I am a junior biglaw lit associate who is extremely extroverted. Unfortunately, I’m realizing that so far litigation hasn’t been as great for extroverts as advertised. Is this just the nature of being a junior attorney in any practice anywhere? Are there specific specialties within litigation that extroverts particularly enjoy? I generally like what I do but working crazy hours in mostly isolation doesn’t seem sustainable long term for my personality type.

I offered to cover for someone for one day on something and somehow it ended up with me having to work all night on a Friday for a closing a month later...big L

Me: "We should say X and not Y in this letter, because I don’t think we have sufficient documentation to say Y"
