3) how does VCS within M&A advisory relate to work done at e.g., Monitor Deloitte?

Thanks.

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?

Any insight into EY’s IFCS practice? Thinking of applying to their open staff role from another firm, I’d be transferring out of audit.

Our CEO spoke out against a local hate group and we’re now being targeted by trolls. My job went from amazingly fun to super depressing overnight. How can I bounce back?

What is included in Halal dating? Occasional hugging?

Seems like there’s a few 30+ females in this bowl. Lmk if you are ever down for a brunch or dinner. I could use some gal pals 💃🏻

I’ve been hooking up with a guy off and on for a little over 4 years (met right after a break up) and early on set the boundary that it’s just sex. Recently told a friend abt him (we were out she wanted to know who I was texting/who was picking me up) & now she’s trying to convince me that I’m just in denial (and so is he) of having feelings for each other. He’s a good guy, has his life together, and we have fun, but I don’t get why the arrangement we have is a problem/needs to be changed??

has convinced me to never return.

To get hold of technology, which one would you suggest for a 11 years non technical Project Manager with PMP, PRINCE2, PSM and PSPO certification. Any suggestions to start learning low code / no code technologies like Pega or Appian ?

Any female bi here? 😊

Thoughts on CSIQ? It is sitting near all time highs but has not jumped like crazy from pre-pandemic. It’s at a 25% premium. It has solid fundamentals. It may be a solid option after it hits the 50 day SMA.

how do we increase diversity in leadership positions when there are no job openings?

I love teaching, I can't see myself doing anything else as a profession. Why are teacher scrutinized, have demands placed on them, judged, and criticized more than any other profession??

Does anyone know the salary for a 3rd year junior associate at Squire Patton Boggs?

I’m in the biglaw hiring process through an outside recruiter. It’s so frustrating because he’s having these conversations with the firm and only paraphrasing the gist of them to me. He says he can’t forward the exact emails. Is that BS? Why can’t I see what the firm is telling my recruiter?

Mid-level when she's leading the call: please make sure you take notes. It's expected of the person not leading a call (note I always take notes)

Me(jr): asked to lead a call for a different deal as training. Mid-level doesn't take notes (also on call) and tells me it's the job if the junior to take notes.

Thoughts on Quinn Emmanuel? How grade conscious are they?

Did you make a mistake working in BigLaw? Why?

People who were lateraling without being on track for hours and seeking the year and bonus with the new firm, did the question of hours come up and how did you handle it during interviews to make sure you got the bonus from new firm?

Can anyone provide a referral to Manatt, Phelps & Phillips?

Is it normal for 4 different recruiters to contact you in a single afternoon for 1 job posting?? This is getting absurd and distracting

Stop asking if we can unionize after being asked to work over the weekend.

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.

Archer: Any idea what Archer & Greiner would pay a 4th year associate in NY or Philly? Are they on a fixed pay scale or is it different for every associate. Any insight very appreciated!!

It's super frustrating to be "time poor".

That's seemingly just the nature of working in Biglaw.

But every day you have the option to buy back your time.

Anyone have any favorite office decor or personal items? Trying to think of things to make my office less boring now that I'm going back in.

Feel free to share anything interesting that you've seen as well.

Currently thinking plants and potentially wall art.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

Thoughts on recording meetings. In Texas and have ADHD. I’ve been recording internal meetings for the past couple of weeks and my work product has improved exponentially. I’m able to go back and listen to the directions over again. In law school I had a note that gave me permission to do this. Is this taboo in a firm?

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)
