Practice is decent. The staff attorney bench is somewhat anemic.

Very office dependent unfortunately. Overall great culture but some offices litigation groups run very lean.

What about NY?

Anyone have any tips for the B2B space and who I should prospect? They didn't give many pointers lol.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up.

Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing?

There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*
