How are sign-on bonuses taxed in NYC? Example: if you were to receive let’s say a $20k sign-on bonus (I assume it would be paid as a lump sum?), what total percent would be taxed?

I am looking to rebuild our Planning and Scheduling team, but want to make recommendations on how the rest should be organized as well.

Anyone have a good accountant/lawyer for tax season? Have met with 3 so far and have gotten 3 different answers on tax implications, especially with use of like-kind exchange in 2017

I am an RN & obtained a Masters of Science in Healthcare Informatics. I am seeking to pivot into Clinical Applications, but it’s quite challenging with no experience. Any ideas & suggestions are welcomed!

Mercer folks - can you share the career levels in consulting? Thank you so much! I'm trying to understand my target level. 7 YoE.

This morning I was called by a recruiter about Infra Tech Lead role. He was looking for 15yrs of experience, and the salary is capped at 95K 🙄 for WIPRO.

Are these folks high 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

I just started a new job as a Director. I’m the only black person in management on my accnt. It’s really hurtful but the other managers try to tell me what my job is and what I should be doing (Cont.)

thoughts on clerking at the DE Chancery Court for an M&A associate?

Is the weather always like this out here? Thunderstorms, flash floods, etc.

Scenario: A creative sent you a cold e-mail and you're actually going to respond to it—

What did they say that piqued your interest?

Any recommended resources to help me prepare for my first deposition?

I’m a bit afraid of jumping on the “hot market” lateral gravy train and be the first one to be let go when things cool down. Am I overthinking this?

Based in Chicago, junior associate looking to transition back to public health or health policy job. Would be happy going to govt or non-profit (or a private org doing that type of work). Have been applying to everything I can find but no traction yet. Anyone have any leads?

Any info on how much Cooley cull has impacted London?

What are some good presents under $200?

What are the downsides to moving to a foreign office of a US firm? Does it pigeon hole your career? Want to do a few years at least abroad in Asia (UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore etc.) just to explore the world a little bit and potentially get that UAE tax free pay (not a US citizen but working in US BigLaw).

How many chargeable hours a week are we all really working and which firm are you in?

Quinn Emanuel associates, how much are you expected to bill? It looks like 2100 hours for market bonus, but is that considered low or is that considered ok?

Anyone doing registered funds work painfully slow rn

I don’t understand how, but it feels like big law partners don’t get that we are only in this for the money (and they are too). “Experience” only helps me if it translates to future value. And “future” value means something different than it did 30 years ago when most people wanted to make partner.

Mid-level associate in top 50 ALM. I’m exhausted. My client got a new contact, and I now dislike the client. I have had maybe three days off this entire year. I’m in a niche market, so it’ll be so difficult — if not impossible — to find another job. I should be happy: My firm loves me, they want me to be partner (so they say), manage a large book, well-paid, etc. Anyone else going through the emotions? How are you getting through it?

Some partners are so stupid. In a free market system, if you want the good associate to work for you, you need to be a nice person. Otherwise, I have enough partners to feed me work and you’re the source of your own problem.

Is having an offer at another firm the only way to get a retention bonus? I’m still on pace for over 2900 hours for the year (5th yr in debt finance) and to be honest, a strong associate (currently enjoying life on 9 active matters...). I like my firm and my work, but I know I’m leaving money on the table by not looking elsewhere. Has anyone had success with these bonuses? While I’d gladly take a one month vacation over money at this point, I am trying to buy a house and extra money can’t hurt..

What are reasons you would stop giving work to a newly minted second year associate? Stuck because people have never given me bad feedback but also don’t give me work. Transactional.

Does anyone else find it annoying having to include the typical caveat when sending docs to the other side (subject to clients ongoing review/comment)? Why can’t it just be generally understood the caveat applies unless you explicitly state you’re signed off/the caveat doesn’t apply?

What’s the word on Sidley NY M&A? Hearing a number of foreign associates so may be good for a local lateral?

Can people who work high level clerkships (circuit courts, SCOTUS, etc) negotiate signing bonuses when starting big law?

I left biglaw in December to join a boutique and am really regretting it— I hated my old firm but do I have other options?

Anyone seeing a slow down yet? I swear I’m getting busier. Haven’t not billed 50+ hours in 6 weeks. Litigation/regulatory work but nothing easy like doc review 😫

How early is too early to ask for feedback on an assignment?
