Is having an offer at another firm the only way to get a retention bonus? I’m still on pace for over 2900 hours for the year (5th yr in debt finance) and to be honest, a strong associate (currently enjoying life on 9 active matters...). I like my firm and my work, but I know I’m leaving money on the table by not looking elsewhere. Has anyone had success with these bonuses? While I’d gladly take a one month vacation over money at this point, I am trying to buy a house and extra money can’t hurt..

Go for bright colored blouse with suit jacket and pants? Skirt a must? Stay classic with black and white? Heels or flat shoes? Do I need to do my nails? Hair curled/put back? Not sure how much this all matters beyond generally dressing up.

22 year old considering law school / a potential career in law. The contents of this bowl tend to be pretty disheartening :( Anyone here who really loves the work? Who has found decent work life balance? In your experience, are there alternatives to big law that are stimulating, decently well-paying, but not quite so onerous?

Law schools in Toronto - I am currently working as a Senior Auditor at EY & finished my CPA modules in less than 12 months & successfully passed CFE, September 2021 (Fasttrack) while working full time.

Quinn Emanuel associates, how much are you expected to bill? It looks like 2100 hours for market bonus, but is that considered low or is that considered ok?

I’m considering a lateral move. New firm is offering a full bonus for pro-rated hours, which is nice but I doubt I’ll hit hours due to HR/admin onboarding work, ramp up, coming on in the middle of deals, etc. Any chance I can negotiate for a guaranteed bonus regardless of hours or is that unreasonable? I don’t want to annoy the new firm but I want to at least be made whole.

I don’t understand how, but it feels like big law partners don’t get that we are only in this for the money (and they are too). “Experience” only helps me if it translates to future value. And “future” value means something different than it did 30 years ago when most people wanted to make partner.
