Anyone know if SDNY courthouses have lockers for phones?

Started as product manager in a start-up with a too nice culture- it's all groupthink and the product direction is suffering. Need to get people to be assertive without being an asshole- need advice

Hello to all. I have an interview lined up with Walmart global tech for the position of Staff Data Scientist.

Does anyone know how the Data Science department is at this company?

Also, if anyone has gone through their interview rounds, what can I expect from them?

Can I renege due to "personal reasons" or does that seem shady? I have some family stuff I need to tend to and don't want to start a new job now.

If you are not outraged by Breonna Taylor’s ruling, you are Anti-Second Amendment.

The second amendment lets us arm ourselves against tyranny (and as conservatives will often say, government tyranny). When the government infringes on our rights and breaks into our house and shoots up the place, I don’t have a right to defend myself?

If you side with the police, you are not pro-second amendment and you need to be deported you comi-******

Does anyone know 80G foundations that we can donate to, who could give something worthy in return?

Curious how compensation works for counsel at top-tier law firms. How much do counsel make? Is it relatively set/lockstep salary, or does it vary significantly based on hours? Do counsel have hours requirements?

4th year lateral market —
Anyone get asked to complete conflicts prior to a formal offer being extended? Not sure I want to disclose clients before accepting said offer.

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!

Anybody have experience with adjournment requests in the 1st Dept App Division? We have a respondent’s brief due a week from Wednesday. This past we submitted an application for adjournment. I’ve convinced my partner that we have good cause (record issues that need a motion to resolve) but now I’m starting to get worried. Are adjournments usually granted?

Is there a reason some of the biglaw websites look like they were made in 2006? Surely that reflects poorly on a company

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.

Which firm do you dislike working with the most and why?

Any insight on Proskauer’s NYC L&E practice group? Good place for associates?

Is anyone able to recommend a recruiter in the NYC area? Second year associate looking for Labor & Employment opportunities at mid-to-large sized firms. Thanks!!

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… 😑

I’m a first year associate (almost second year). I work at a national firm and I’m not a litigator. When I started with the firm, I was told I could work out of any office. Long story short, I regret choosing the office that I chose. I’d like to transfer to another office - is that a difficult ask? I’m licensed in the state I’d like to transfer to. I don’t know how to make this request.

I got used to Big Law money and lifestyle, but to be honest, does anyone actually love living in New York anymore? It's really starting to lose appeal for me

Happy to report: Did not fall into any honey trap at the holiday party.

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

Does anyone have intel on signing bonus amounts (apart from Covid and year-end) for mid-level litigation associates? The move would be to a V10 firm. Thanks!

one thing I do not do is pick up the phone before 9:30…after 7 years, you would think they’d learn.
