Please suggest any good sources to prepare for data engineer interviews in GCP, Python, SQL, Pyspark. I have worked only in a few tools in GCP and done basic coding in pyspark and above average in SQL, but need to be prepared to handle all questions to grab some offer. YouTube has lot of resources but confused on which one to start with. I have an interview this Tuesday in another 2 days.

Anyone have tips on first round growth capital/VC case interview? They say there’s gonna be a test on investing acumen.. whatever that means.

Kevin McCarthy should strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments like he did with Steve King. Nancy Pelosi should do it with Ilhan Omar too. No place for anti-Semitic bs in Congress

Did anyone receive offer from Pepsi Co recently, their process is taking lot of time...

Hey folks, I gave round 2 interview in sap labs and got an email from HR that they have kept my candidature on hold. Does that mean the chances of selection has been reduced??
Also to let you know I am an experienced professional.

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

I recently met someone who is a GC but also of counsel at a firm. How does that work?

Stub here with 3 months in. I work in litigation for a AM100 regional office. No issues with hours yet (45% over target) but just learned a 2nd and 3rd year missed their hours goal this year. Should I seek out projects from the transactional team during slow periods to ensure I hit billable, or is that frowned on?

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

Should people who do not have children be able take a "paternity" leave? Paternity leaves are generally supportive, but sabaticals or whatever you want to call it are frowned upon, from my experience. Thoughts fellow 🐡?

What’s the dress code for virtual court conferences? For those that have attended one already, what did you wear? I’m planning on treating it like a regular conference. Thought?

On the transactional side of things, what is the expectation of Associates to start bringing in their own work, or start developing their own book of clients?
When they are mid or senior level?

I live in downtown Seattle and a client just closed an email to me with “Hope you’re having a great weekend!” Um, what?

What item has been your favorite purchase for your home/apt?

What would be valid reasons for turning down a great lateral opportunity, and how to go about telling that firm no?

Hypo: client says they agreed to use a prior agreement another firm drafted as precedent for a new deal prior to engaging you. It’s maybe the most poorly written contact you’ve ever seen. Most material terms are arguably there, but it’s convoluted and you’d be embarrassed to put your name on it. There’s clearly a better way to draft it. To what extent do you re-write certain sections?

What do the hours look like for Goodwin NY and DC corporate group associates?

Not a big firm, I know. But does anybody have insight in Cowan Debaets?

I’m a 6th year funds associate at a v10 and thinking of lateraling. Anyone have any thoughts on Willkie funds? How are hours right now? Culture? What kind of signing bonus are they offering these days?

I hate Kirkland for what they did to me. Got laid off due to intra-firm-politics at a point in my career where I don’t have enough experience to lateral, when the market is so bad for corp/M&A that even with experience getting hired isn’t likely with a Kirkland stain on the resume, during the holidays when getting interviews or even screeners is just as unlikely, and all of this without any warning at all. Recruiters can’t or aren’t helping. I don’t know what to do, but this is a nightmare

After many years of doing purely corporate law, I recently moved inhouse to do structured finance. Honestly, I am in unknown territories. My boss also not patient about my re-learning process yet they knew from the interview that I know close to nothing about structured finance. I am 2 months into my 6 months probation period and I am worried that I might have bit more than I can chew. FYI - I am doing all I need to do to learn (books) but still struggling. Any pointers on how to get it faster.

I’m an evening student and just got a summer assoc. position for this summer. Going to quit my current job, do the SA, then take Feb bar. Any suggestions for what to do btwn SA and Bar? Around 5months

Anyone know any recruiters that work with 3Ls still looking for jobs?
