Asian woman partner at Skadden quoted saying “I eat white men for breakfast” at a judicial clerkship event in an attempt to woo over asian candidates. YIIIIIKES.

Has anyone working tech for a bank been laid off yet? Tech layoffs all over the media but no one is talking about developers at banks (who make up 1/3 of headcount in some cases)

Hi,
Joining SAP labs, Bengaluru on 8th of August.
Looking for a share of accommodation. Female preferred.
Thank you..

Do you find that you speak figuratively or in analogies more than non-copywriters?

How to structure the compensation for level 8 ? Should basic be more or allowance should be more for a package of 25lpa fixed.

Anyone work in the Healthcare industry? I'm looking into joining Healthcare. I'm currently a Senior in tax compliance.

I recently joined Amazon (<30 days) and I’m starting to realize I’m not very happy or energized by the work I’m doing. I want to give it a chance and stick with the team for about 6 months to a year but if nothing changes, how soon could I look for a new team within Amazon?

Is a digital transformation certification worth it? I am considering programs from schools like MIT and Wharton but it’s a lot of $$ and I want to ensure it’s worth it. Anyone do one of these programs?

Can someone please help me calculate my Utilization? The Client Service Hours on ToD seems to be confusing. When does the utilisation for the year start? April or June?

Goodbye XRP! Thanks for the awesome gains and good luck hitting that absurd $100B market cap 😁

8k range was the long term 200 day MA support that everyone and their mother said they would be buying at. Well it’s 8900 and buy volume is basically nonexistent..

I’ve worked 14+ days every day in November except yesterday when I only logged 6 hours of work (billable plus non-billable) (were required to upload our time every night now). How long should I wait after hanging up with our CFO just now who called me to tell me I’m behind and slacking to update my resume?

Are any of you stress shoppers? I need ideas on what to waste $$ on. Please tell me what your latest big irrational purchase was.

Can you name a firm (preferably NY office) that lets its associates work from a different country with no issues? The mid-size firm I’m currently at has been very flexible during covid but I’m looking to change firm (biglaw). Since my family is abroad I find it extremely valuable to be able to do this (I did this even before covid for a couple of weeks, twice a year). I’ve heard firms like Latham and Paul Weiss don’t allow it for tax reasons.

What’s next on your expensive wishlist to make this job a little more comforting?

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?

I have “unlimited vacation” at my firm. How much vacation/PTO is given at big law firms that don’t have unlimited?

Taking an informal survey how many firms (I) have the junior and midlevel summer associates plan the bulk of the summer events (lunches but also evening events) and (ii) count time spent on the summer program as qualified billable work (in that partners see how much you bill to it on your time sheet)?

Thoughts on Ogletree as an associate? Salary/day to day life

Moving from government to BigLaw as a 6th year. Since I'm coming in as a mid-level, I feel like this transition is different than a junior whom partners expect to know little. Any advice?

What monetary goal/target are you telling yourself to hit before quitting big law?

A first year asked me today how to maintain wlb to make the job work long term. Oh you sweet summer child.

Is getting into crypto law a bad idea or is it a burgeoning field??

Any thoughts on the hours in the tax-exempt org group? How is the work?

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

Should I take more initiative? It’s my stub year and I’m getting worried. My hours have been super low the past two months, I’m talking like maybe billing 3-4 hours a day and billing no hours on multiple days. I ask for work but the tasks I get don’t require a lot of time. Should I be reaching out more?

I realized recently that I can turn my “super associate” persona at any time. I had it off during covid when my kids needed me and got a bad review. So now it’s back on. I’m responding to midnight emails (and daytime ones in under 20 minutes) and getting work done the same morning. I’m spending countless hours doing edits over edits. I actually don’t like super associate. Why do people live like this 24/7?!? 🤔

If you are a first year in a stub year, and significantly under billable hours requirement, do firms typically still give pro rated bonus? Do first year stub associates really ever hit their pro rated hours in those 2-3 months?

Associates, do you want to be copied on emails to service providers/vendors (like CSC, CT, etc)? My thought is you get a billion emails everyday and don’t need more, but maybe I’m wrong?

How do you stay motivated day-to-day when the work gets boring? I'm a first-year associate who was assigned a long-term project with no deadlines. I'm struggling to bill 8 hours/day on this incredibly repetitive project.
