Any recommendations on a standing desk chair? Has anyone found a chair that they like? I’ll even take suggestions on chairs to avoid.

Pre-covid, what was “non-busy season” like? Did you still work from the client’s office or work from your home office?

Interested to know, did your firms gave you a credit (or wbs) to buy home office supplies? I feel like the Accenture one was pretty low...

Does Deloitte offer any fitness fund reimbursement and if so, how much is it? Can we purchase home office equipment with it? Would I be able to get stuff reimbursed this calendar year (my start date is Nov. 8th)?

Does anyone have experience with a good design/contractor company to build a custom home office? I want to turn my office into a legit, office space seeing as I spend so much time in it. Any recs?

My firm is virtual - all work done remotely in home office unless on client site. Haven’t traveled since mid October. It’s driving me nuts. What do you recommend doing?

Favorite office chair?

Y’all know of a standing desk that doesn’t make the monitors shake when typing?

Anybody have terrible wrist pain and bruising happing on their right (dominant) arm? I have a standing desk and standing chair.. not sure if too high or too low or if a padding issue. I have a mouse

Damn I miss my life before the pandemics (the home office part can stay, though).

Has anyone used a virtual assistant?
My practice pivoted hard during covid.
I used to travel 60,000 miles a year to meet clients. Now it's mostly virtual from my home office. I have clients choose virtual who live closer to my office than I do.
What is your experience and what do you have them do?

Any recommendation for a good office chair for back pain? I fell and hit my lower waist area so the chair also needs to have good and thick cushion for support. Also trying not to spend over $300-400ish if possible. TIA!

Please share your “must-have” home office chair. I need to replace mine and want something a heck of a lot more comfortable than my current one. Must have wheels and arm rests.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

What is Boston Consulting Group’s policy on living near an office (i.e. within 90 miles, near an airport is ok, responsible for travel to home office if not local, etc)? I’m joining soon and curious if there is any additional flexibility after COVID?

Question about expensive mileage while traveling. If you are in a city (greater than 100 miles from home office), do you still subtract out your normal office commute mileage on a daily basis?

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?

I've found it's just easier to be transparent. Nobody really cares. And it actually opens other people up

Okay. Possibly a stupid question BUT Imma ask anyway.

Can someone just explain how you plan out how much to bill so you can make sure it’s not a mad scramble at the end of year? I’m moving from a firm where I was lacking in any kind of mentorship. No one ever just sat down and explained the most efficient way to track/measure your hours to confirm that you are on track.

Is there just a secret excel spreadsheet that all lawyers have and I just missed the memo???

HELP.

Hi! New attorney here. Licensed in January 2021.

I have a seriously hard time working all day. I went straight through, so part of it is probably just that I've never worked in an office before, but I have the hardest time getting in all my hours. Anyone else deal with that fatigue? Or figured out how to conquer it?

I wish I could just work all day but it's not coming naturally to me. I walk, I take breaks.... but it's hard

Associate in the NY office of a magic circle firm. Been really struggling with mental health issues for a long time - I feel like I’m begging for guidance/supervision and not getting any, and can’t get any support junior-wise either. I just get told I’m doing a “good job” but I’m pretty sure that’s just because no one is looking. Is the expectation just to magically figure out how to get things done solo, even if it’s the first time to do it? Is it better at NY-HQ firms that have more resources?

HELP! I’ve been contacted by a small private security firm who wants me to be their “on call” counsel. They describe it as a lot of contract review, drafting NDAs, etc. but also being there if/when they need to license a vehicle, defend civil suit, etc. It’s overwhelming but sounds like a really great opportunity. I have enough background to be comfortable with contracts and litigation, but don’t want to get myself into a mess. Has anybody else ever had a job like this?

Does anyone have any insights on the culture/ workload at Milbank’s project finance team?

I am an incoming associate (awaiting bar results). I have already begun working as a law clerk and am already being given plenty of tasks to fill my time, which I’m grateful for. I am also fortunate to be in working in an area of the law that is personally fulfilling to me, so a lot of the work I do doesn’t feel like work. Here’s the thing: I do my absolute best. I give polished, clean work, and I always give my personal best. However, it seems like a lot of the tasks I do always get sent back..

Mexican attorney here - I am currently researching LLM programs (specifically M&A) and somehow paying USD$200K to study in the US doesn’t seem too appealing.

I hold a Spanish passport which may help with tuition fees in European Universities - do you recommend any European LLM programs or should I just bite the bullet and ask for a loan and pay the USD$150 - 200K?

Mentioning the programs is greatly appreciated.

I see so much room for growth in my firm, especially related to social media, updated technology, marketing strategies, etc. Except, every time I suggest them, I'm pegged as a greedy/pushy millennial. Told by the older partners, "back in our day" or "we tried that years ago" and am quickly dismissed. I referenced other firms initiatives and was told it was clear I was not happy where I am, so I should go... Anyone else struggling with this?

Happy Be Kind to Lawyers Day!

How do you deal with tech-illiterate colleagues? A partner and a couple associates at my firm are so out-of-touch with tech and they're always asking me for help. I want to be helpful, but I also have actual work to get done.

Can I export a list with all emails I sent for the month? I would like to use it to compare to my billed time to make sure I don’t miss anything. Usually I go through my sent inbox but it has so much extra info so it’s not a quick scan. Plus outlook does weird things sometimes like combines conversations so I only see most recent sent item in that convo. Alternatively, do you have a good way confirming you caught all of your email time?
