Applied for a counsel position at McKinsey and have been invited to complete a 30 minute written exercise with two hypos. I wondered if anyone had ever seen these from McKinsey specifically and could give any insight to what it's about -- substantive, more blue sky like their consulting interviews, other?

I know a couple others that got that same email from McKinsey this morning. Nobody has an idea

Good to know we’re battling it out… :) But again I think that’s “on brand,” ya know? I worked in tech consulting before law, so I was surprised when seemingly no one did this. I’m just now u accustomed!

I have a two-hypo time scheduled for next week for an AGC role. How was yours? Subject matter specific?

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

Did you ever had this feeling of not fitting in? People (including non-legal staff) in my team just ignore me. I know I made some mistakes, but resenting a trainee for that reason seems unfair. Just went to farewell drinks of an associate and only two persons out of 14 actively engaged conversation with me. With the rest I had this feeling of forcing everything and of being the awkward one. People were referring to funny stories on cases we’re working on and that I never heard about.

Hey, seeking some help.

I've been asked to walk through a financial model I built as part of case study round for an Infrastructure investor. The model works fine for the inputs they provided but would get stuck when any input in the model is changed and I'm afraid the interviewer has figured that already and will specifically ask what's wrong.

I am unable to find any bugs with the code or why the model wouldn't work. How do I address it and not sound like a complete dumbass to them?!

Hello Legal Recruiters! What’s the market compensation for a commercial real estate associate with 1+ YOE at a small firm (20 partners) in a secondary market. I’m 10+ yrs into my career, but I made an odd for me, accidental pivot into local government/real estate about a year and a half ago, and I’m looking around. The salary for a 1+ YOE associate 10 years ago in my market was in the $50 - 70K range, but I’m guessing (hoping) that’s no longer the situation… TIA!

My state is one of the ones opening back up and I’m not risking my life to keep my job. Any tips for the job search during the pandemic?

But many colleagues have suggested I remain where I'm at (miserable and unappreciated - just took a $20k pay cut) for at least a year.
