Anyone made the transition from litigation to transactional? If so, how? Biggest adjustment/difference?

I’m getting messages from recruiters for Sr. Corporate Paralegal roles but all of my experience is in litigation. I have 6 years experience as a paralegal. Should I move forward with this? Not sure if I’m qualified.

Any one make a move from fund admin after big 4 assurance and then was able to make a pivot to a PE fund accounting team? I am considering moving to a fund admin now. Have 9+ years of big four experience. Worried that I can get stuck in fund admin. But I have interviewed at several big name pe shops and make a few rounds on interviews but then get the same feedback that they are worried about my lack of operational experience.

Having seen some of the wild stuff in the past couple years does anyone have a good pointer for a basic “medic” course? Help slow/stop the “oh sh*t” for the real folks to get there?

Left IBD to quickly - VP1 opps?

Long story short - was lured into an opportunity to do BD for a large PE PortCo… better work/life balance, but honestly miss the deal cycle.

Anyone know of open VP1 opps right now?

Quick background - former MM banker (think Raymond James, Piper Sandler size) doing FinTech and Asset Management within FIG, but also open to other sectors.

Thanks!

What is the up or out mentality at BDO? Close to Senior manager and thinking about path to be a partner

In times of self-doubt and declining business for a self-employed looking at all the options how to close the $ gap how to make the right decision about leaving the industry, or working for corporate America, taking side projects. Not sure, if I make sense here. Someone might get me/it.

I’m an MS Management Student graduating in June 2023. I applied to over 40 positions within the Big 4/MBB and even with extensive networking, I haven’t heard back from any really. I have an offer from a pretty well-known but less prestigious Consulting Firm, but I’m wondering what my chances even are of going Big 4/MBB if I’m not a campus hire. Will they even consider me for an experienced hire a year or two down the road if they showed no interest this time? Any advice welcome!

What is the growth of a Presales Skill in IT industry. I am a Technical Presales Consultant certified in Azure and have foundational knowledge of technology. Where do I see myself ? How can I grow my skills to be more in demand ?

Does anybody here do any side work for extra income using their data expertise? I would love ideas that I could do from ~5-15 hours a week. Tutoring is the only thing that comes to mind immediately. Thanks in advance!

Hello guys i am working in a public sector bank as chief manager. I am looking for a job with better work life balance and flexibility. Can you suggest me options in finance companies where i can switch? I have 8 YOE in Treasury, forex and Marketing. Also, would it be better to look for opportunities abroad?

Hi everyone,
I have 2+ years experience with Salesforce, before Salesforce I was a full-stack dev with some DevsOps experience. I worked for Finance Services and Oil & Gas companies. Right now, I wanted to make a switch to Aviation, Aerospace or Defense company. I’m in Texas, specifically Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. I would really appreciated if someone can help point me to that direction.

Has anyone been fired? How’d you bounce back? How did you approach it when applying for new jobs? I’m legitimately worried I’ll be fired and could use some advice.

How does project allocation happens for lateral joiners? Is it forced upon or do we get a choice to choose or apply for a project? Accenture

I'm doing this high fat and protein breakfast routine. I eat that and then don't have to eat again until dinner

If we join at P4, how much experience is required to get promoted to P5 ??

Accenture employs 700,000+, Deloitte has 400,000+, EY/PWC/KPMG are all 250,000+. How can you not feel like just another employee ID #?

So what are some of the best boutique consultancies (with at least some scale, so let's say 250+ consultants) where you can feel like you actually make a difference? And the firms get the same level of respect as their larger counterparts?

AMZN buy more or hold?

Which company would you choose in the Bay Area - Zynga or Fitbit? Reason?

Getting an opportunity to move from ZS Associates India to IQVIA UK. Can’t compare the pay because they are quite far apart (ZS pays much more than IQVIA). Thoughts on moving from ZS to IQVIA in the long run?

Thanks in advance.

Denver culture (and suburb areas): interested to know how easy is it to make friends here. Both husband and I are late-30s, early 40s with a kid going into middle school. I’ve got a great friend group where we live now, but looking for simpler and cheaper way of life but dreading not being able to make friends.

Not enough people understand mountain driving etiquette - if you see a conga line of cars behind you it’s because you’re slow and you should pull over at the next available turnout and let them pass.

Is there a shuttle service from DIA to Aspen? Or am I better off just flying into Aspen?

C&F question: any attorneys here with a DUI conviction on your record? If so, did you have any issues clearing Character & Fitness in a new jurisdiction?

DUI occurred nearly two years ago as a senior associate in state X with no corresponding discipline in state X; however, now trying to get admitted into state Y...

Obviously, this is an extremely regrettable event, and will make that clear to C&F, along with post-DUI progress.

Curious if anyone else here went through something similar.

Struggling with this whole work life balance thing. Is it possible to have a semblance of a life/hobbies? If so, how? Most of my socializing is honestly in the microcosm of the firm (drink nights etc)

Looking for advice.

I am a new associate currently watching a named partner “quiet fire” but not so quiet a paralegal. He has been really nasty to her, demoralizing, degrading and any other word that fits. And I’m struggling to not speak up because I feel so conflicted. I don’t want to make things worse for her but do want him to know I see how he’s treating her.

I’m already trying to leave but the market isn’t the best. But I struggle still working at the firm after seeing this. (Below)

Am I the only attorney who half ass works all day and then when they know their boss has clocked off sigh relief and start working through the night??

Am I the only one in the office today, the day before Thanksgiving, just to ensure that the Partners, who will not be here, see me??????

My wife finally told me last night that she didn't know what I do last night ( I'm a securities lawyer) but she didn't want to sound stupid. Its been 5 years.

How much more, if at all, do Cravath / Wachtell attorneys work than S&C, Skadden, Davis Polk etc.

What do you do to get yourself comfortable saying something doesn’t exist in an agreement or in case law? When i get questions like this (Ex. Does this contract have XYZ-type language?) I usually figure out the answer pretty quickly…but then I spend a ton of time trying to prove myself wrong. I got burned on a question like this as a 2nd yr, so I think I’m just hyper aware of the risk. I’ve been told I need to get “more efficient” though, so I’m trying to work on this. Any suggestions?

Is there anyway to tell if your work product isn’t measuring up? Would the partner straight up tell you that your work sucks? This is me running on the assumption that some comments are normal...

Are there “prestigious” plaintiff-side firms? Ones with mostly or all T-14 grads?

I made an offer to a candidate today. It feels really good to make that phone call and hear the other person being happy.

Too few big law firms have CEOs / CFOs -- lawyers are not trained to be managers

#metoo finally hits biglaw. Looks like a mess at DLA Piper, and Jones Day for that matter...

Does your firm give you credit for hours that were written off? Sometimes I feel if you don’t lose anything for hours cut from the bill, you have incentives not to be 100% honest w/ your timesheet.

Is anyone aware of a tax software (e.g., TurboTax) for preparing a form 706? For personal use, so cannot be a commercial license only product.

Gripe in here about Legal Assistants (more in comments)

Anyone who recently took the CIPP/E exam? Any tips for what materials to use to prepare for it and the most effective study strategy (assuming I have very limited GDPR exposure)? Thanks!

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Has anyone else noticed that a hugely disproportionate number of latinx big law attorneys seem to be white / white-passing?
