Best ways to get out of non-billable work? I billed 2200 hours last year (hundreds of hours over our requirement) and hit above bonus my first two years too. A partner has been on my ass to do more non-billable work, but I have absolutely zero desire to do so because that’s either (a) time I could be billing or (b) time I could be not working. Anyone have tips on avoiding it?

What is a typical salary for an SVP, 15 years of experience, at a large PR agency in the LA or NYC market?

Currently a new S1 thinking about taking a FP&A role. Is going from Senior to Analyst not Senior analyst a bad move? Mediocre raise in salary (3k) but well known company with a flat structure

Salary aane ka bhi koi deadline hai?

I currently work at a medium sized firm and have about two years experience in personal injury litigation. The billable hours and lack of work life balance are really getting to me and I am looking to switch to something else out of litigation, preferably in house. I am also looking to relocate to a different state. How do I go about properly marketing myself to companies that might not take my relocation and minimal experience seriously?

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

To stay or go? Is it time to move on?
I've got 4 years at a staffing agency after getting Masters in HRM and making a complete career change in 2018. Doing full cycle recruiting and account management. I feel I'm doing very well (in the role and with comp $57 base + commission = ~$91k last year) BUT I feel stuck!! I'm feeling undervalued and unchallenged. I think I'd love corporate recruiting/TA Specialist, etc. How do I make the jump? Should I just keep truckin??

I can’t get out. I’m a barred attorney looking to move into a JD preferred role. I don’t like being at a firm. I’ve applied to hundreds (literally) of contract, compliance, regulatory, etc. sort of jobs. I’m not looking for a crazy salary either. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. How do I make the switch? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Anyone here who left Citiustech within 2 years?
You didn't need to pay 1st year's retention bonus back, right?

In my offer letter, nothing is mentioned about variable pay, but the recruiter had mentioned to me about 0-12% variable. Am I missing anything. Do they have any variable component in the salary or not.

Hello guys. I had a phone screening for a clinical laboratory position in Seattle. I’m currently living in Atlanta. Can you guys tell me your thoughts about living there (specifically being a black female, childless)? The culture? Cost of living? Pros and cons? Also I would like some opinions on the salary. The recruiter said the pay would be 82K with a 10K sign on bonus? Is this enough? Thank you in advance 😊😊😊

Hi fishes,
Planning a career transition into Data science filed..Need tips

I want to leave my captive company. I don’t think I am ready to be totally on my own even with a cluster group etc. There is an option to be subcontractor in another independent company. I can write she said like 300 companies in many states, it would be helpful because I have many friends out of state. Is taking 25% of sales for giving CRM and companies too much? Seems like a lot. It is like “owning your book” but I assume I would pay a high price if I want to totally manage myself in a futu

Hi Fishes,
Looking for a referral in kpmg .Please message me if anyone is willing to provide.

What are the requirements to promote from analyst to senior analyst? I’ve been with Deloitte for two years now and am wondering how I go about making myself promotable. I don’t have a CPA, CFE, etc. Is one of those required?

Did anyone complete NNN?

Dear Fishes

Can I get 11 likes for DM

Thank you all in advance

Hey fishes,

Anyone recently joined LTI as senior data engineer P2?

Man, i need to talk you, plz respond

Is it common for a midlevel to gossip with a first year about another first year’s work? Is it common for midlevels to trash juniors amongst themselves? I think my office is hella toxic

Can anyone speak to the culture of the Salesforce practice at Slalom? Mostly curious about work life balance / average hours per week

Want to get new bag for work and not sure if I should get a Tumi briefcase or backpack. Seems like I’ve seen more backpacks these days. Thoughts?

I’d rather not put a title behind my name, but if I were looking to attract the attention of recruiters on LinkedIn (legal and public accounting) would using “JD” or “Esq.” behind my name help my name pop up in a search?

Hey guys,

I am from tax and i applied for Pune location from hyd which has now been approved. We're expected to go to office by Jan'23.
However, i wanted to visit the office sometime this year. Is the office open yet and available to book through magnet? Has anyone visited the office personally yet?

Any news from DPW? 🤔🤔

Any recommended books to read prior to beginning a summer associate position? Transactional/ Corporate & Finance

Thoughts on rep/culture at Wilmerhale (NY) v. Allen & Overy (NY)?

Dreading my first year review. I don’t think I’ve done anything to make myself fireable but who knows! I think I have a lot to improve on though. What’s the mindset you take with you into reviews?

Former big law associate here who burned out. Now a corporate inhouse counsel.

Been recovering and considering going back to actual legal practice.

I feel I need a new practice area.

One that impacts people’s lives and is meaningful, but where you don’t have to deal with disturbing facts and personal tragedies.

Any suggestions?

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

Lol a client just emailed saying they want to sign a $1.5bn deal (we are sell side) not at some point before or by, but rather ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

What the hell is wrong with people?

I’m a true night-owl that begins thinking clearly about 5 PM. I often send projects out after midnight. Early morning emails and calls are an adventure. Has anyone else had to work through this issue? Fight it or embrace it?

Help! I was headed to the 7th Circle of Hell but took a wrong turn and ended up at Cadwalader! Can anyone tell me how I make it back? I can't stand it here!

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Still want a recruitment bonus 👀. Lmk if you’re looking to lateral!

Should I or should I not send a quick email re good news of passing the bar to my small (<10p) practice group team?

Would it be a bad idea to request another deferral from my firm to clerk for another year for the same judge given the rumors of layoffs?

Anyone have insight on Goodwin (Corporate) in London?

Fish, I trust your advice. Anyone have leads or recruiter recs for SF biglaw litigation? Looking to lateral as a to-be second year, mostly antitrust/white collar.

Curious - would you consider a lateral move to a lower ranked firm if the practice group is higher ranked than at your current firm? In other words what’s more important - firm or practice group ranking?

How hard/easy would it be to find a decent big law position after 3 years of SEC experience? Total 5 years atty experience. What will be the salary like?

How do you justify a $100k pay cut to go in house?

Other than Gibson Dunn, which V20ish firms have strong employment practices?

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)
