Rutan & Tucker, LLP Anyone have insight into Rutan & Tucker’s OC office, especially the litigation group? Curious about office culture.

Also wondering how their Counsel role works — is it on or off partner track, and how is it different from Of Counsel? Rutan & Tucker, LLP

Hi, I'm almost at the end of NP. I've two offers in hand with different roles and similar packages.
1. Product manager at EY
2. Product analyst at Livspace.

While package is my second priority, role and job security is more important me.. My aim is to get into product manager roles and I've been waiting for this since forever.
Which one should I go for after considering the pros and cons?

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I’ve been taking care of my extremely sick (literally on the verge of dying) dog. I work from home so it’s not too much of a nuisance but I feel distracted all day long and can hardly get anything done because I worry about my dog. I feel like I’d benefit from a day off or even half a day off but I’ve only been working for my firm for a month now, plus I have “discretionary time off.” Would it be okay for me to ask for a day off?

sitting on the toilet during the workday is the only time I feel at peace

Looking to enhance knowledge of back-end rev cycle functions, best practices, benchmarks, etc. What are some good books to read for this?

What are some of the truly impactful, long-term cost curve bending opportunities you have worked on for health systems?

People over 40, what advice (career, financial, relationship) would you give to people in their early 30s? I see people in their 20s asking this for those over 30 so I'm curious 😊

Considering a jump from FTE back to consulting. I have roughly 8 IT YOE, CSPO, CSM, and my MBA. I'm considering a Sr Product Owner role with the mind set of moving to Product Management within the next 1-2 years. With that background and currently being in a candidate's market, roughly what should I target as my salary?

Right now, I'm at 100k with 5% bonus as a BA.

What were some effective tips or resources that helped you to learn the systems of your first firm? We feel like our firm admin/paralegal is not getting acclimated and not assisting the firm as we hoped. So we want to make sure we’re effectively training her and providing the best resources/tools for success.

Just received an offer with expected / standard salary for role but no signing or relocation bonus. They know I don’t have any other offers which is why I assume they didn’t offer any signing bonus - do I have any chance of getting one without “leverage”?

For a Data Engineer with 5-6 YoE working on Azure Cloud Infrastructure (ADF, ADLS, Synapse), Databricks and Python. What should be the ideal salary?

Does anyone know of good NYC headhunters for early career consultants (2 years out of undergrad)?

I’m seriously enatkng to get into an SE role and have been searching for Associate Sales Engineers that do NOT require SE experience since I’ve none. It’s proving to be difficult. Most companies for some reason are requiring 2-3 years of experience for the Associate role. 😭 Any Sales Engineers who know of companies hiring those with no experience? I am in tech as a BDR already.

Going to Oktoberfest with some buddies from college. Any tips from anyone who has been!? We’ve got rent reservations but looking for any info that may not necessarily be online

Anyone interested in fashion? Stated a clothing brand. Need sales.

Anyone know of a sort of speeddating site for London creatives looking for a partner? Kinda sick of seeing most job alerts going up as "looking for creative team".

I’m a true night-owl that begins thinking clearly about 5 PM. I often send projects out after midnight. Early morning emails and calls are an adventure. Has anyone else had to work through this issue? Fight it or embrace it?

Which is more painful: watching litigators draft contracts or transactional attorneys litigate?

Why do many associates at top tier firms stay to make Partner when they can go in-house in tech and make around the same, even long term? For example, you can make near 400-550k in-house at Google, Netflix, FB with 8-10 years of exp. More senior than that in-house, it can easily break $1M.

Anyone have insight on Goodwin (Corporate) in London?

Is an offer after only a first screener a red flag?

Is it common for a midlevel to gossip with a first year about another first year’s work? Is it common for midlevels to trash juniors amongst themselves? I think my office is hella toxic

What responsibilities should a litigation associate have by their second year?

Paralegals: what’s your least favorite thing about working with attorneys?

Fish, I trust your advice. Anyone have leads or recruiter recs for SF biglaw litigation? Looking to lateral as a to-be second year, mostly antitrust/white collar.

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Stealth layoffs at CWT confirmed.

Do you always feel tired? How do you have energy for anything with this amount of work.

Has anyone been the position where a recruiter submitted you to a law firm and then someone you know in the same firm (but not really well) reached out to you asking if they can submit you? This happened to me today with a V20 and I’m wondering how to navigate this.

I can’t stand people that brag about how busy they are or how late they stayed up doing X. They may think they’re just complaining, but the sanctimonious tone is unbearable. I promise you, no one is impressed. You are the problem with this industry.

Does someone have a good punch list of things to do before giving notice at a firm?

Just wrapped up a deal with a regular client (although the client’s deal teams vary). I’m a Junior and did a lot of the emailing back and forth with the client and with the other side. Is it appropriate for me to add the client deal team members on LinkedIn? What about the lawyers on the other side?

McDermott Will and Emory's New York office - would be a junior litigator. Any reviews/advice?

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)
