Big law M&A attorney with only ~1 year experience (but prior experience in corporate accounting/finance at F500). Really hate big law, so I'm starting to explore other options.

Does P&T do anything for promotion day? Seems awkward for us on virtual teams to go to a celebration where we don’t really know anyone. But also sorta lame if we just don’t do anything that day or treat it like a normal workday… Not planning to attend since I only know a few people in my office, but if they organized something where we can meet people in P&T and celebrate together I’d be more inclined to go.

Trying to rid myself of ID work and get into commercial lit at big shop. I’m just about a year in, and so I was wondering if it makes sense to go to a smaller/midsized shop first then see where I’m at in 3-5 years if big law is still a goal.

Struggling with a potential opportunity - I’ve been at my current agency for about 7 months, and I’m indifferent to the job - don’t hate the work, but don’t love it either. My old CW partner is asking me to interview for another agency and a possible promotion if I make the jump. But I don’t want to screw over my current team/not sure if 7 months on a gig looks bad. Any thoughts or opinions?

TLDR: possible job opportunity but possible cons for leaving current job

Can someone comment on what an associate actually does at a sales/sourcing-heavy growth equity shop?
