Anyone have a job with a company that allows you to work remotely from anywhere?!? Most larger companies have telecommuter contracts that forbid it. But I am looking forward to a point in 8-10years where I hope to be slow traveling without sacrificing my future retirement. Just looking for a direct to pivot (career, education, networking, etc) to make this possible

I do. Anywhere in the USA except California, due to the laws or something for some reason. I think you just have to have a home base somewhere for most of the year so they know what state to use for state taxes. A few of my colleagues work on the road from long family rv trips or travel the country in their cars working someplace different month to month, and they’re upfront about it and no one squawks.

As for international, people could be up at 3am in Europe somewhere and with the norm being using the company branded Zoom backgrounds I wouldn’t have a clue. No one has mentioned being abroad while working to me, but they totally could be. My company isn’t great about asynchronous work, but you could definitely block and flex your schedule as much as possible around meetings and schedule-send emails to make it maybe 50-75% possible to be in a non USA time zone.

I wish I was able to take better advantage of it TBH, but familial obligations with my parents, a pet, and my maximalist crap are barriers. Honestly, I’m at the stage in life where I’m looking for someplace different to move to, and it’s hard to know where’s a good place long term without a reason when you like many different cities for different reasons. If I found an in-person or hybrid job to make that decision for me I wouldn’t be mad at it, but then again I’m looking to move and settle for a few years not be nomadic. It’s kind of overwhelming to have so many options, and my personal style is liking the stability of my own place, setup how I want, without having to try and focus someplace new all the time.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any?

Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
