Anyone here used a JD mortgage to buy a place in NYC? Wondering if this is something that’s generally limited to other cities as the real estate market is so different here. Thinking with everything that is going on it might be a good time in buy in the next few years.

Hey people! Curios, what was your first splurge purchase with your big law money. (Assuming you have student loans, mortgage/rent etc.)

Top “lifestyle” litigation firms - what are they and what are the best ones in the nyc market?

Switched firms and new firm doesn’t pay any origination% of business brought in until the total $ brought in is mid-five figures. Standard? My book is below that threshold. Old firm paid 10%.

Anyone’s firms hiring an international arbitration associate? Considering a move and wanted to see what’s out there! Junior to mid-level positions

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!

Any insight in Sidley’s global finance practice? Type of deals/clients and internal dynamics. Thanks!

What is your definition of “underwater”? As in number of hours

Partners asked me to start interviewing mid-level laterals to join our M&A group. What are your go to questions? Behavioral or substantive.

If you’re a fourth year in biglaw, what responsibilities are you given in m&a? I feel like I still haven’t had a ton of opportunities working on purchase agreements (and mostly just take the lead on ancillary work streams) and I’m afraid I’m falling behind others in my class year.

I think I’m about to get my first experience of getting in trouble with a partner for work that I actually already sent for review and followed up on multiple times (and brought up during calls). Stay tuned… 😑

Currently an associate at a V30 and negotiating a partnership position at another V30. What is the correct way to maximize the pay in the negotiation as a lateral partner? I’m afraid of settling at a lower price than what they can do at the top end of the range! Do I anchor by asking for an outrageous figure or let them offer a salary figure first?

Anyone know if SDNY courthouses have lockers for phones?

As a (class of 2020) second year whose several classmates from different groups are already thinking about leaving/going to other firms, should I explore other options too? Don’t know if they’re being dramatic about how bad it is or if I’m just drinking the koolaid in my group?

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

On what website can you search an attorney who is admitted in New York? To confirm their bad admission etc. TIA - I’m not in the US.
