Are you talking about Mitchell Silberberg Knupp? If so it’s basically biglaw without the pay but my friend there was it’s a good environment (he’s a partner there fwiw).

I’ve been to their offices once, and the atmosphere seemed nice.

I’m in the corporate group and I can say the culture at the firm generally is great and they value WLB. Also, at least for corporate, there is no real RTO policy. I believe most lit associates bill around 1800-1900 a year. Happy to answer questions in DMs.

Also if you’re looking to apply I can refer you internally, so lmk.

What are the bonuses like there?

So if you bill, say, 2000 hours, the bonus is only $20k (unless you get discretionary bonus)?

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….

I’m a 4th year and I’ve never billed contemporaneously for even a one full week. I guess I’d just rather have one day of torture recording all my hours at the end of the month than that extra little torture daily. I’m wondering how common or rare this is in BigLaw. Thoughts?

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!
