FP here - each office has their own remote work policy, so it’s office and RMP dependent

As of now, JL is required to be in office 2x per week, and as of some date in July, 3x. My understanding with the JL policy is that come September, anyone in good standing can exercise the option to take 5 WFH days a month. I think each office has the option to make their own set of rules but this is the general rule.

And salary movement?

OD just issued their policy. Associates and counsel. with permission from local managing shareholder can set up a remote work schedule. Expectation is to be in the office at least three days a week.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?)

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?
