Any July ‘21 NY exam takers hear back from C&F yet? I submitted in late Dec but haven’t heard anything but I saw a friend got sworn in already. (Second Division btw)

Hi,

I want to transfer my previous PF account to the current one. I have signed the Form 13 as well.

Can anyone tell me whom to give the hard copy and also submit the soft copy?

Is it a good time to switch to Deloitte considering all the recent layoffs ? Applying for a manager position in Deloitte Digital , not expecting more than 10% hike from my current salary.
Thank you

FML. I’ve been dating someone for 8 months and have been having doubts about the longevity of the relationship. This week he tells me he is thinking about leaving our city and working remotely. Even though I was already thinking about ending it, this hurts. I know I’m being childish - being rejected by someone who I was planning to reject! And I know he isn’t the right guy for me in the long term. So why does this hurt?! 😭😭😭

How often do you drink? To what extent?

Associates, do you want to be copied on emails to service providers/vendors (like CSC, CT, etc)? My thought is you get a billion emails everyday and don’t need more, but maybe I’m wrong?

What does it mean when a partner gives associates, especially junior associates, origination credit? Practically, I don't think it makes a difference except maybe for bonuses, but I'm wondering if there's any deeper meaning than extending gratitude?

4th year V20 corp associate looking to switch into litigation and don’t mind starting over as first/second year at a V50. I know it’s an unusual switch and would appreciate any thoughts/advice/predictions re success of switching. For context I went to a decent law school and got decent grades (great 1L mediocre 2/3L).

What if the private equity boom of the past year and a half led to an underestimated amount of unsubstantiated investment/leveraged financings that, into the next couple years, will lead to a mass number of defaults similar to the subprime mortgage crisis?

Is your firm treating 12/26 and 12/27 as firm holiday since the 24th and the 25th are during the weekend this year? Of course client demands would dictate whether people will be working, but curious what the official policy is. For what it’s worth, my firm treated the day after thanksgiving as holiday and I didn’t have to work for the whole day.

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?

If you are laid off for hours, what is a neural reason for saying that your employment ended? Especially if there is a month or two break in finding employment.

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 😬

Lol a client just emailed saying they want to sign a $1.5bn deal (we are sell side) not at some point before or by, but rather ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

What the hell is wrong with people?

I was happy about the raise, then realized I've been billing close to 80 hours a week for three weeks straight. I don't need a raise. I need a vacation. Ugh.

What is a material billable hours difference from your peers at the same group? If I bill 150 less a year than another associate should I be worried?

Biglaw Partners: If you could start over again, would you still choose your career path?

How long does it usually take to clear conflicts? Mid level. Around 50 client matters.

2020 grad with offer to join as BL lit associate. Don't want to leave anything on table. Anything I can/should negotiate? Outside of NYC.

So, like, at what point are the partners you work for narcissistic and at what point is that just your perception, man? Had a miserable interpersonal day today and I’m wondering if it’s valid—or if it is valid, if going somewhere else is going to be any different.
