Anyone in SF who works out of any of the San Jose or Santa Clara tech company offices (TikTok/ByteDance, NVIDIA, Roku, ServiceNow, etc.) interested in creating a carpool together? DM me!

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Now that it’s officially peach season. Best peach things (fresh peaches, peach drinks, etc.) and where to find them in ATL?

Salary is currently $75,000

I’m in KC. Company is in San Diego.

My base location is SAn Francisco, but I have not lived a single day in California this year (not planning on being there this year either). Am I eligible to get a refund on all my California taxes this year?

Got an offer as a Senior 2 in EY’s FAAS practice for $117,500 base and $12,500 bonus. Home office is San Francisco. Is this expected for that position? Any insights?

Please remember, when you’re asking for salary information, it’s important to mention where you are located. For example, $100,000 is going to be a lot more in Mississippi than in San Francisco. Thanks guys.

I am an SA1 in the UK, 3 years in the firm. In the UK there’s a threat of losing your job if you fail your cpa equivalent exams twice. My anxiety started from there when I sat my final 3 exams in July and it builds up as I started to work a very complex big job straight after the exam. I have also been constantly working busy seasons (dec, march, june, and sept year end) and I it is pretty taxing. Taking short term mental health leave now but not sure how it will be better when I’m back, advice?

So fantasy football season is upon us. I was wondering what other accounting firms used as their fantasy football league names. I work at EY so we just slap a bunch of EYs up there. Like FantasEY Football. Is that just the league i play in or do other people do that?

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

Has anyone here worked in-house for a startup and also in-house at an established company? What has your experience been like? What did you like/dislike about each? What was the difference in wlb?

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

Do in house counsel jobs offer green cards as part of the offer? Anyone has any experience with this? I’m currently at a firm on H1B and figured law firms are more likely to sponsor it before I head to in house, but wondering what companies’ policies are...halp!

I’m moving from big law to in-house. Any recommendations on feeds, resources, etc that I should subscribe to? I’d love to be part of a group of other attorneys that are new to in-house. Any suggestions?

How did current in-house attorneys find their positions? I am currently in big law with 3 years of experience. Seems that most recruiters can only help me lateral to other big law firms.

2015 grad, straight inhouse to Fortune 50, now at another multinat doing tech transactions. I love tech, data... but am bored and doing repetitive work. Is this how inhouse is? Repetition?

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

For in-house counsel roles, does firm prestige matter? For example, would the fact that an applicant is from Sullivan & Cromwell vs, say, White & Case matter at all, or is it much more about experience/interview? Does it matter as much as law school credentials? Assuming a mid-level corporate associate seeking to go in-house.

Are biglaw privacy and data security attorneys sought after for in-house positions? Curious as to what the demand looks like.
