Moving to London next year! In my mid twenties and wondering what’s a good location to rent central London? Safe neighbourhood as I’ve heard of quite a few stabbing incidents 😭😭

Bank error 30k in your favor. BTC… Where to start?

I'm looking for a good real estate conference to attend with my team. Any suggestions?

Anyone have information on being an assistant attorney general? Is it prestigious? Better to be an ASA/PD?

Any folks who’ve recently started the game that could use DIYs? I have amassed a bunch that could be offloaded

Does anyone else constantly put off putting their time in as they go and then hate their life at the end of the month? Then once you get caught up, you don’t want to enter more time, and so you fall behind again. It’s a vicious cycle.

Apparently I drunk ordered 4 Blanton's Golds last weekend. Just got the shipping notification 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

Hello, folks! I wonder if you have any advice/info for a person who is looking for an "investment associate" role in Dubai. I have a financial audit background (4 years Big-4), 1,5 year in deal advisory (half year financial due diligence department, 1 year valuation department). I have experience in TMT, retail, Energy and Utility and other industries. Currently I'm living in Eastern Europe.
What is considered to be normal in relation to WBL, compensations in Dubai for such role or similar?

See y'all in the terminal tomorrow am

$RNWK 🚀 is it next GME?

How many interviews is too many? I’ve done 5 one on ones with different people in the practice group. They want me to talk to a few more, but I’m frustrated. It’s so hard to find time to schedule these things and the associates don’t seem to understand I can’t just take them in the middle of the work day at work. Recruiter thinks it’s a good sign. FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.

Tips for bankruptcy associates who eventually want to move in-house? 3rd year associate in bankruptcy/restructuring group doing mainly bk lit but a few deals too. Need to stay in BL for at least another year for the money, but eventually want to move in-house. The path to in-house seems more straightforward for general commercial lit or more standard transactional practices. Any tips for someone who’s practice is a bit of a hybrid (and who will never likely do discovery or handle a depo)

I wish I had even a tiny fraction of the energy I had when I first started this job

Interviewing to crossover from plaintiff to defense work, wondering what a competitive salary offer would be from a firm in the V20-30 range, 5th year, antitrust practice. NY/DC scale. Thanks in advance

People who were lateraling without being on track for hours and seeking the year and bonus with the new firm, did the question of hours come up and how did you handle it during interviews to make sure you got the bonus from new firm?

Putting aside wachtell, what do we think are the best M&A shops for high value deals?

Third yet at a firm in a major market (not NYC). Pay is slightly below market and bonuses are not market either. What is the going rate for a holiday gift for a secretary that I was assigned to 2 months ago but has done some work for me through the year and also a paralegal that I have worked with all year?

Big law literally saved my life. I was working for the government and being sued by creditors and in a deep, dark place. I wasn't even able to afford my Ube transfer application on my own. I've been at my firm for 3 years now and my life has completely changed. I was so close to declaring bankruptcy it's not even funny. I understand why people rag on it but some of us would be in a really bad place if we weren't here

White collar folks - how busy are you guys now?

Does having a JD and an MBA make an impact on salary/hiring chances upon law school grad/summer associate positions?

I already have an MBA and curious if it makes any impact at all.

Who’s still on the old DPW scale? 🥲

What are some reasons you’ve seen people get fired for? And how long did the warning process take, if any?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

To the lender counsel that forgot to mention they needed original signature pages for a deal that closed early this year and decided to chase and harass me a day before thanksgiving and a day after thanksgiving multiple times. F*ck you. I don’t know what is driving your lack of courtesy but I have represented the same bank before and know their usual original signature requirement.

How is Willkie NY?

What is the typical first level of “off grid” salary (ie 2022 base salary for class of 2013)? Asking for NY, M&A, AmLaw100 market.

What sort of work is considered corporate finance? This was referenced in a energy practice related interview and am not sure what sort of work that would entail.

Just learned that my bonus is being docked 5% because I missed a weekly (not month-end) deadline for submitting hours. I got a warning the first time this happened last month so it’s on me, but I’m still livid. Is this normal?

Has anyone heard anything about Up or Out? Got an invite a couple of times, but trying to figure out if this is a scam or something.

It's super frustrating to be "time poor".

That's seemingly just the nature of working in Biglaw.

But every day you have the option to buy back your time.

How do you buy back time?

It's simple—by saving and investing.

And you don't need to be uber wealthy to regain control of your time.

Consider this…
