Baby lawyer here. I’m wondering, how far does privilege go in day-to-day conversations? I’ve been erring on the side of caution, but is it permissible to mention that a certain company is a client of your firm, or would that be a breach of privilege?

Hi Sharks,

MYTH: Unions protect the lazy and incompetent.

FACT: No union contract will shield workers from fair and logical consequences. You're just as likely to have a "deadweight" coworker in a nonunion job.

How do you communicate there is a tradeoff between speed and accuracy to a client who wants both by 9am for reporting through the day prior?

Assuming the client doesn’t have a particular rule on the issue, do you bill for time spent traveling to/from court appearances?

Have you ever actually let loose on a customer? I think about it almost on a daily basis but I’ve managed to keep my cool so far

Today a client announced that they lied to CMS about their benefits program readiness. This, after telling us two weeks ago they rolled out their front-end interface at the start of 2022 (4-5 months before their program will actually be ready) and have unhappy customers now.

Anyone else do their laundry at their client site hotel. It's way easier doing laundry at the Sheraton vs my apartment

My salary expectations are based on a multiple factors. In some instances I am willing to take a lower salary, but I don’t want them to know that. What can I say to get them to give me the range first and then I can state if that works for me or not?

I’m sure it’s not new to 2022, but I’m feeling more than ever this year how much of “corporate pride” centers around gay men and calls it “lgbtq”. Are gay women, bisexuals, etc. not as palatable for audiences? I’m struggling with this a bit.

Hi Fishes, I Interviewed for a role at HSBC, but offer letter had a completely different role title. This is a letter from their online portal. Is it an issue with the portal?

Company called me on Monday to say they want to give me an offer then asked me for what my pay requirement is. They’d already asked me in the initial HR screening and informed me my number was a little over their cap and told me what their cap was. So this time I asked for $1k under the cap. Said they’d send me the offer letter after checking the pay is okay. Haven’t heard from them since lol. What the heck??!

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Hi, is it easy to move to the US, I’m French and currently living in the UK and if you know what it is the procedure to follow and what you think of working in the US compared to UK, please

Really struggling right now. My wife doesn’t believe in sleep training or any type of schedule for our firstborn son. He’s over a year now and refuses to nap when we try to put him down. My wife doesn’t care that he takes over an hour every night to fall asleep or sometimes just won’t nap unless we take him for a drive, but being home every day it’s really wearing me down. I support her and love her but our second is on the way and I’m really worried

I am an associate at a small firm and was licensed last fall. I clerked at this firm through law school, so I knew most of the partners before starting as an attorney full time, except some of the new ones we have acquired since. I have several cases that I am the only responsible attorney on and quite frankly, feel like I have no clue what I’m doing half the time. I ask questions, but feel like I’m being a nuisance if I ask too many. I guess I didn’t expect to be solely (cont. in comments)

Nervous for my annual review. Junior associate at a midsize ID firm. Most of my work is task based and I recently got a few of my own arb level cases (in the last month.) Between COVID and studying for a second bar admission as required by my firm, I did not meet my 2100 requirement for the year. Lots of non billable hours studying and business development, but firm doesn’t count it toward the minimum. Extremely burnt out and anxious. Any suggestions to make this review less awful?

Is it possible to be both lit and transactional?

How much do M&A partners at midsized law firms make? How long is partnership track on average?

I’m a second year associate at a large law firm in a small market. This year, we have been slow and I absolutely hate the work I do have. Should I ride it out or start looking around?

To anyone in ECVC biglaw practice, please share your thoughts on: (1) difficulties/rewards of such practice, and (2) exit options. I am in public companies role and am thinking of lateralling to ECVC practice. Thanks.

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?

A peer keeps trying to assign me work even though having no actual authority to do so. Laughed about it with the partner and a few other associates but still mildly annoying.

Getting really frustrated with my job. Im by far the busiest associate my year level, and there are 2 people in my group who literally have no work at all. I feel like I keep missing targets and the partners are disappointed in me, but it’s hard to motivate when I see others not doing anything. I know I should be grateful bc the partners think I’m better than the others (and job security) but I can’t seem to convince myself to care.

Anyone in this bowl did the CAMS exam? If so, is this an exam that can be passed without AML experience?

anyone out there submit their billing to a third party for client billing guidelines compliance? Looking to replace my vendor and looking for recommendations.

I know it’s only Tuesday but in recognition of the latest batch of frivolous and ill-considered objections to come across my inbox... Lewis Brisbois sucks. Thanks for the billing and inevitable sanctions, but come on!

Has anyone reported another lawyer for misconduct? A friend had a great experience with an attorney who definitely crossed the line
