Are there any books or other resources that mid levels/seniors/counsel/partners on here have found helpful for the project management / managing junior attorney aspects of your job?

I am not finding a lot of stuff written for lawyers specifically , but there is a lot directed at “managers” in business generally that I imagine could be applicable.

LLP. 2 partners with a single employee. What could my client (one of the partners) do in the way of a retirement plan? 2nd partner may or may not “be in."

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.

What do you think when associates/senior associates misspeak on a concept during a meeting or interview?

I’ve learned something new on each project, and I’m afraid of coming off as an idiot so I rarely contribute to conversations; only after I have done research on the topic and have prepared do I speak/give ideas

Got a case where client got in a car accident and called the police the other driver gave completely fake information and the police didn't check it. What's our recourse to track them down?

Advice on managing up / enduring toxic deal teams? I’m at the point where my stomach drops any time I see something come in from certain people. Everything is behind, client is unhappy, I’m exhausted and simultaneously being micromanaged without guidance on big-picture/substantive issues. I keep trying to tell myself at least this is consulting and the project will be over... eventually...

Has anyone worked with unbox therapy? I have a client that’s looking for “cool trend spotter influencers “ for a non-tech/gadget home product.

Do people proactively begin finding work when they know they may be low on work soon? Or do they just wait until they actually don’t have enough work to fill their days? Have a larger project that is winding down and my main case is slowing down a bit so I anticipate potentially needing to find more work soon, and I was unsure if that was something I needed to worry about.

How long did you date your SO before moving in with them?

So much baggage brought into the relationship. 2 years in and just discovered a whole lot more. Its been mentally extremely difficult and it’s changed me as a person. Just venting but feel hopeless and I know my SO is suffering. Wish there was a solution but I’m losing hope

Been on a few dates with this guy and he literally keeps using the washroom every 10-15 mins!

He would leave to use the washroom like 3 times in one meal- has anyone else experienced this? I just feel so weird about it

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Someone teach me how to flirt! How do I let this guy know I’m into him?

How long are you typically on an engagement if it’s multi-year? Does your leadership roll you off at a certain point to give others experience...and yourself experience to other projects? Or do you stay for the long-haul?

Primarily remote roles

Lesbian fish in LA or staffed on a project there? Dranks? 🥂

Not sure if other firms are the same, at EY we can add “🏳️‍🌈 I support inclusion” in our email sig. Most people from Unity ERG don’t. If you don’t, why not? Particularly during Pride month.

If you had a choice, would you live in Chicago or NYC?

What would you consider the “it” company of today in tech from an employee perspective (in terms of culture, growth, pay, etc) and what companies should be avoided?

Hi everyone! I’m on the last round of interviews for an EA position at META, would any of you be willing to provide your hourly base pay? The recruiter gave me what seems a very low base pay. Thank you!

Almost Monday, back to the grind 😪😪

Is 20 LPA good CTC in Kone India with total experience of 8.5 years in SAC ?

I’m a 4th year and I’ve never billed contemporaneously for even a one full week. I guess I’d just rather have one day of torture recording all my hours at the end of the month than that extra little torture daily. I’m wondering how common or rare this is in BigLaw. Thoughts?

If we all make a fuss about returning to the office do you think the standard will change?

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

Could we throw some names of “lifestyle firms”/ firms where you can have a life apart from work?

Anybody leave to start their own firm, realize it’s not worth it then come back to big law? Or didn’t come back..?

Seeing Cooley do a 180 from fully remote to 3x a week in the office has me insanely grateful that I took a fully remote position while they were available.

I live an hour from my office and I actually go in quite a bit because I like my colleagues a lot, but everyone in my group is across the country so there’s no pressure and I can’t be forced. Thank the lord.

Do you bill late night waiting time? It's 1am now and only reason I'm staying up is to wait for the printer to provide a revised OM so I can review that our changes went in properly and sign off. Do I bill the time between now and when I sign off? Just curious how you all treat this time.

Which is more painful: watching litigators draft contracts or transactional attorneys litigate?

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

My mentors (partner & senior) have scheduled a feedback meeting with me on Wednesday. It’s not just me, they’re scheduling meetings with everyone so I’m probably keeping my job. Thing is, I’ve been incredibly frustrated with the firm - I’m buried in work and billing like crazy, but there’s zero transparency on financials and zero communication on bonuses (...)

If you quit your firm are you required to do an exit interview/what happens in said interview?

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Not a big firm, I know. But does anybody have insight in Cowan Debaets?

Trying to lateral and the conflicts clearance process could not be more frustrating. I'm at the point where I'm becoming resentful and annoyed at my new firm and I haven't even started. Is this indicative of my future experience there or completely unrelated?

Restructuring/Bankruptcy associates, how slow have you been this year so far? Seems like industry wide it’s been a very quiet year.

Does anyone know what the minimum hours requirement to make bonus is in the US at Baker (in a normal year, not 2020 with COVID)?
I have received conflicting answers from a few people and I just want to make sure I am working enough going in the new year as a new associate.

As performance review season approaches, I am offering my services to ghostwrite the BL Bowl’s annual self-evaluations. For an added fee, I will also attend your performance review. For an even bigger added fee, I will attend in-person.

Do you have a supervisor who makes you feel like nothing you do is right?

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients. All partners have been very understanding and care about the quality of my work, and no client has ever complained. Partners and clients praise my work.

But now, one partner has become super mad and when I explained ADD, he said:
