Currently at PW, not in corporate. One thing I like about the firm is that management is fairly level headed. They will always match market and they were one of the first firms to indefinitely delay the return to office this fall after announcing two breakthrough cases in the office. (A lot of other firms didn’t announce those/ignored them.) they reinstated the dinner budget and mentoring budgets for remote work and gave two home office stipends. They’re updating tech this fall. Culture may be similar to other biglaw sweatshops, but these small things give me some peace of mind.

Underrated books for future finance professionals? It seems like social media always tries to push the same old 50 business/finance books that everyone seems to have in their house now. I’ve done my research and have gone to bookstores, so I’m interested in a few that I hadn’t heard of before. I’m just wondering what may be a must-have.

Has anyone ever told a partner that they are being disrespectful by screaming at you or scolding you for something that isn’t true? I know other professionals respect when someone doesn’t back down or stands up for themselves but it seems that big law is the opposite.

When you wake up (before hitting your stimmys) to an email from the partner asking why you haven't updated them on the vdr and you direct them to an email you sent at 1:30 in the morning and all you get is a "my bad. see you at the Bulls game tomorrow." <<<<<<<<<<

Opinions welcomed:

V5 Legal Assistant here (2 years in industry, started at current firm in late April). I’m on pace for 2700 billable hours / year. To boot, that rate is going up because of all of the 65+ hour weeks lately, and the first month being billed around 40.

I was just told that I may not qualify for any bonuses because I haven’t been here for 1 year.

Is this normal? Am I crazy for thinking that I should be getting a *significant* bonus for all of the crazy hours and deadlines?

How would you ask to transfer to another office within your firm?

I lateraled from one firm in city A to another firm city B. During the interview process, I made a big deal about how I badly I wanted to be in B, despite only being barred in A. They hired me, paid for my bar courses, the works.

Now I find myself in a position where I need to leave B due to personal issues. Thinking of going to DCso I can just waive in.

It's been less than a year since I've joined; is it too soon to ask this?

Sometimes I scroll through here and see posts that easily could have been written by me, and I just hope my seniors aren’t scrolling through thinking the same 😬

Midlevel M&A just lateraled to my V10 firm and have been doing 75-ish billable hrs per week for the past three weeks. I’m exhausted from sleeping 4-5hr per night. Is this typical or is my firm just toxic? Feel like I can’t physically do this long term - any thoughts on whether litigation is more sustainable or what area to switch into within biglaw?
