Any LAA’s in Big Law have the pool type support system at their firm? If so, how do you like it? Is it more productive? Is it better than the regular legal assistant traditional role?

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Key West advice. Looking for a 3-4 day stay in February. Hoping to add this as an extension to an already planned trip so don’t want to spend to much money. Everything seems so pricey for not great value. Any recs on stays / best activities, let me know!

What are my chances of getting into APM programs at companies like Meta and Uber as a student from a non-CS background and little experience?

Currently working on my MS Finance degree, graduating in December. Working on my resume and was wondering if I should include a projects section (which would be projects/assignments from classes)?

I don’t have much experience as I went into grad school right after undergrad (graduated December 2021).

I’ve been negotiating a settlement on behalf of a client. OP is a major corp. we’ve gone back and forth for months, almost a year. Finally came to a final agreement and we’re reviewing for final signature. Then client is reviewing and decides they want something else modified. It’s a point of contention. OP has said no. Should I communicate this to client before pushing back against OP’s rejection of the mod?

Happy first day to everyone starting their new job today! My laptop is scheduled to be delivered by 8pm today so just phone calls for me today.

If you know a law firm offering 100% remote Associate positions please comment below. Thanks!

edited: After 6 years of being self-employed, I’m considering what opportunities I could have in corporate.

I’ve been looking and seems like my skills don’t transfer well or maybe I don’t have the corporate language?

i absolutely cannot afford to “start from the bottom”

I’m just feeling exhausted from having an online business run on social media. oof.

Think Covid is gonna get out of hand in the few months. Any stock recommendations in light of this?

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Ratios of Admins to Attys at your big law? My firm has first through fourth year associates using a pool system and assigns 5th years and up to an admin. Each admin has 7-9 attys. Word on the street is ratios may increase. Trying to get centralized billing so admins do less. Meanwhile they can’t seem to keep our billing folks from leaving. It’s been a crazy year and lots of disappointing moves.

Please share whether or not your firm is offering hybrid work arrangements to support staff.

State what the adverage salary is and your state. I am looking to move but not sure what is considered great pay.

What billing software does your firm use? Our firm uses Clio and my managing partner hates it. He has asked me to research and find something better.

Hi guys, i'm considering an LAA role with Fasken in Vancouver CA. Would appreciate any feedback on the firm, the role, and salary expectations. Thanks

Interested to know if your Big Law has announced that the office will be fully remote (with option to come in for those that want to) during Thanksgiving week and last two weeks of the calendar year? I hear this is how quite a few big law firms are going to be doing it.

Benefits Question: how is the health insurance where you are? How does your employer handle it?

This has become one of the most important things when interviewing for me. My last employer went from having no insurance option to giving us one terrible plan that they contributed 50% towards. My current employer works with Gravie so we get so much per month and can use it towards any plan on the marketplace. Only thing that sucks is the contributions are post-tax so it counts as income.

Curious what everyone things about Clio vs MyCase?

Are there any firms with remote or hybrid LAA positions? Even if it’s short term, that’s ok.
Currently I am a LAA in a personal injury law firm for a year now, and I want to get more experience in others law fields. Thanks!

Hi all. I'm new here, still trying to figure things out. 17 years experience in litigation insurance defense in various practices areas seeking preferably a remote position, but open to hybrid in ATL.

Big law raise percentages for LAAs in 2022? Mine was 4%. I have no idea of the range being given this year within my firm, but my personal raise was better this year than last year.
