Anybody have insight on Hawkins, Parnell & Young (culture, salary, billables)? Specifically the Chicago office. I currently work in ID so I am familiar with the practice area but would like to know more about the firm.

Hi all,
I have one query. I joined natwest this month only. This vdi thing is very slow. How to work on this smoothly. Please guide.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

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.

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

How does this Amazon offer look for an L5 non-tech PM role in Seattle? I’m coming in with 2 YOE as a startup PM. No MBA.

$130K base, 20 RSUs, $45K sign on over 2 years ($25/20). 1st year TC $160K.

It was extended before the recent announcement that TCs are going up but I don’t know if I’d be impacted regardless.

Is $90k - $100k a reasonable salary range for a senior visual designer with 9 years of experience at a tech company? I’m seeing a lot of varying numbers, and trying to consider inflation as a possibility.

I always get told to network and make those connections. But if you're naturally a more quiet person how do you do this? Message managers or directors on LinkedIn? shoot them a email?

Any product counsel for AI-related companies here?

How do you find in-house positions?

As a man are you looking for an extremely successful lady that is extremely career driven and willing to do whatever it takes to make it to the next level or are you more attracted to a lady that is happy at the level she is at and takes the next step as it comes? To put things into simple terms would you rather a 9-5 lady or a 9- whenever the job is done lady? Explain why please.

Going from 20yr 3.25% fixed to 15 year fixed mortgage rate of 2.125%, non pints. Is this rate good enough in NYC?

What IEP software/web service does your district use? My district has been converting from SEAS Achieve to SEAS Attain this year, but I’m curious about what else is out there.

My students come to my class first every morning and are really hard to settle. They continue to carry on whatever they were doing on the bus. It takes about 20 min to get them settled down and doing the warm up and the class is only 45 min. Any tips?

Looking for advice. A company came back with a counteroffer that I am still not happy with. Can I try to negotiate a second time or is that too much back and forth? What would you say?

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

Is anyone else considering moving away from NYC just to escape this craziness? Like id move to Kansas City just to be able to go outside with less fear

Hi all, does anyone have a good framework they would recommend for developing HCP/physician communication strategies and defining tactics for HCP engagement (outside of pharma reps)? There is of course a ton out there for patient communications such as patient journey mapping but engaging HCPs is a very different beast. Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!

How long does I-140 preparation take? From the moment they receive the hard copy PERM doc to the moment they mail out the application? Can this be done technically under 2 days if law firm obeys?

Sucks to be on h1 b for two cycles of recession. Second cycle is particularly hard as now we are with families.

Dad passed away 2 months ago. I traveled to India and stayed for 2 months, dealt with significant red tape to close his cards, loans, transfer pensions, etc. A succession certificate is WIP for one of his accounts, so mom decided to stay back until it’s done. Mom has always refused to hire a maid, loves to hoard, cleans superficially, the house is always a mess when I visit and all my India trips are spent cleaning including this one. I’ve fought with her a ton over the last two months as well..

Has anyone been admitted to Massachusetts by transfer of UBE score? I submitted my application in July and took and passed the state law exam today. How long after this were you admitted? Thanks!

Second year associate here. How should I deal with the one partner in my practice group who seems to exclusively give me lousy assignments that we’ll never get paid for? I get great work from everyone else.

Is it a redline, or blackline? I know what Google says but my practice experience says otherwise.

What’s your take on Lydecker? What is the culture? Market salary? Expectation on billable hours? Mentorship? Etc.?

I’m my partners only associate and I went on parental leave two weeks ago. I feel horrible for leaving him to handle our cases alone, but am trying to focus on my wife and new baby. That being said, should I still offer to handle minor matters that come in to ease the workload off my boss? He’s been super cool during my entire leave, so I don’t feel pressured to one bit.

What is the expectation at your firms about coming into work after making your billable hours requirement? Asking especially for those who do not get a bonus per extra hour billed over the minimum.

Work is an emotional rollercoaster - change my mind.

You ever write a motion that’s soooooo 💩 that it’s embarrassing and you just wait for the partner to email you at 3AM saying “pls call me” because it’s too far gone for “pls fix.” 😩😩😩

How do you respond to friends/family/strangers who ask for legal advice?

At a midsize am law 200 firm with subpar salary and bonus structure. Just became an attorney in September 2019. So I feel that it’s too soon to leave. See more below...

Any intel on Peckar & Abrahams?

Billables are low this month. Like I have 65 billable hours in so far. I’ve messaged partners over the last week to try and get more cases but there are tons of new associates who were just onboarded and were at a low point for business. I’m freaking out

Thinking about getting a MBA, partly for personal enrichment but also for professional reasons. I know schools all have different “cognates” but do people have recommendations that pair well with corporate/securities/financial legal practice fields?

Struggling with this whole work life balance thing. Is it possible to have a semblance of a life/hobbies? If so, how? Most of my socializing is honestly in the microcosm of the firm (drink nights etc)

Does anyone work in a very volume based area of law (i.e. insurance defense, workers comp) but have partners who are perfectionists to an absurd degree? How do you manage to get your billing in when everything always has to be revised?

Anyone else having one of those days where you just can’t seem to do anything right? I’m dropping balls left and right here

Any tips when leaving a firm? Younger associate <1 year.

Any advice on how to deal with a partner/boss who is shifting all responsibility to me with zero guidance, no mentoring, and an unwillingness to discuss the issues? (Small firm, only associate under this partner and have been working at the firm for 2 years). There are an increasing number of passive aggressive comments from the partner who expects to be completely hands off once the case lands on my desk. Wants me to figure it all out despite cases being from different areas of law.

Is 150 billable hours per month little/average/a lot?

Any ENFP lawyers out there who are happy? What do you practice? Just saw that a job not for this personality was “corporate attorney”... so just curious.
